Piping data to card..

[tasdvl9]

Greetings all.

Question.

I want to implement a modal window which displays messages from functions I call within my app.

For example, If I open a file and it fails I'd like the failure message sent to a pipe. I can then goto the card which
has a field or grid control and display that message failure in that control to the user.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi tasdvl9,

unless you mean something like:
...
put tErrorData into fld "user alert" of cd 1 of stack "your modal display stack here"
modal "your modal display stack here"
...
we need more info!

In addition to Klaus' good suggestion, the dialogData global property may be helpful.

Hi Chris

I'd never heard of Richard's dialogdata until now (think I may be using it though!)

When I need a log I usually set up a substack with a single field as Klaus describes - and where I want the log to begin I'll use something like:

Code: Select all

  go stack "stkLog"
  set the defaultstack to "stkMainStack"
  put tFoobar into fld 1 of cd 1 of stack "stkLog"

Followed by further placing of variables, results, script line numbers etc as required

Code: Select all

 put cr & tVariables after fld 1 of cd 1 of stack "stkLog"
