Best way of show a big note
« on: February 27, 2020, 08:49:24 AM »
Hi, I need to show a big note using a button and a popup proc.
How is the best approach?
Because its for only viewing the note, no update, may be theres a more small way that use a form.
see pic

Simplest way I guess would be to use a NewWebPage. Include a stringTheory object. In the Processed code embed put
Code: [Select]
st.SetValue(p_web.Translate([noteString]))
st.Replace('<13,10>', '<<br>')
packet.append(st.GetValue())

You could use a popup memory form with only one field.

Open the popup NoteMemForm with your button passing the note string as a parameter of the button's OnClick.

That will place the "note" in the NoteMemForm's URL string as a parameter https://wwwwww.xxx?thenote=xxxxxx

Under the NoteMemForm's priming tab, On Change, NoteField primed with p_web.GetValue('thenote')

Display the NoteField with a text control.

Choose a close button instead of save under the NoteMemForm's buttons tab.

Resize the NoteMemForm to taste.

Done.

Sure you can. 

From the docs for On Click Button:

Quote
Parameters
Parameters to pass to the URL or procedure. This is a & separated list of the form parameter=value&parameter=value and so on.

You're using a button to call your "note" form.  Pass the note form a "NetTalk" parameter.

No, don't use a NetWebPage - these cannot be popups.

>> You could use a popup memory form with only one field.

yes

You don't need to pass it. The popup form could just use the session value "as is".
Assuming the notes is a field in the database, then it's just a case of using that field on the form (probably as a "DISPLAY" field.)
