Title: Hotlink Logic
Post by: bbssupport on October 03, 2019, 08:56:42 PM

Hi All,

In v16.1. I've defined a column in a report view list box as a hotlink in the Format screen in Nomads. The column appears as a hotlink in the panel now, but I cannot work out how to assign logic to process the user clicking on the hotlink, nor can I see any variables changing that I could interrogate in my PROCESS logic even with the list box is set to automatic.

I'm loading the contents on the list box in my own logic, ie I do not use smart loading from a query.

Can someone please help?!?! This looks like an amazing feature that we would love to start implementing throughout our system.

Chris

In your OnChange logic for the listbox, you can check the 'ColumnClicked property of the listbox to check if the column that was clicked is the one with the hyperlink. If so, you can parse out the column value from the current listbox value, and do your processing.

According to the documentation, the 'ColumnClicked property is only available on a ListView listbox. If it's available for other listboxes as well, it would help to have the documentation updated. (Any other properties for any of the controls would be good to have, too.)

James,
Documentation up to this point has lumped listviews and reportviews together.
I do know, however, that the upcoming PxPlus 2020 documentation for the various types of listboxes and their properties has been reorganized for enhanced usability, separating listboxes, listviews, reportviews and treeviews.

Hi Jane,

thanks for the info. I promise I did scour the documentation before posting.

As per James' request regarding updating the docs, it would be a great help to others i'm sure if it made mention of 'hotlink' somewhere in the columnclicked property so that it can be located in a search.
