popup messages from embeds. Can I use p_web.message()?

[ozejohn]

Hi,

I want to popup messages from embed points. I tried p_web.message() . It ran but did not popup a message. Is there any documentation on the various p_web methods I could use to work out how to use p_web.message?

Hi John,

it's somewhat different depending on the embed point you are using - ie "when" the message will pop up. Are you wanting this to happen dynamically, as the user enters field, or when a specific button (like save, or cancel) is pressed?

Hi Bruce,

I was looking at what options I have for interactive messages. I would like to have something that works like a claron message statement. This would allow me to send a message from anywhere.

p_web.message() has a name that suggests it might be handy at least some of the time. So I wasn hoping to find some documentation on how it might be used.

Hi John,

You'll never be able to mimic the Clarion Message statement exactly. Fundamentally the browser is disconnected from the server, so you are already limited as to "when" a message is possible.

I need to document this process more completely in order to make it clear when you can, and can't, get a popup message.

Cheers
