Posted on by ThivaKar 931

Hi,

VendTable has URL field with vendor URL's.

My requirement is i have to select a record from the grid and the selected record URL field should display in the next HTML tab with a hyperlink. So far i did display the selected record URL field to next tab, but i need that as a hyperlink. Please Help!

    You could use stringformat, point to the record buffer of your vendor datasource, and write it to the HTML control in the active() method of the datasource. That will refresh the control whenever a new row is selected.

    strFmt('<a href=%1>Vendor URL</a>', VendTable.YourURLfield)

    Hello Vilmos , Thank You for the reply..

    In the <a href> how can i set the URL field , if u have read my requirement stated above, the selected record should come in the hyperlink .

    How can i make this possible ? i.e(<a href == (selected record 'field')>)

    Well, if you insist on the more complicated way, you surely can provide HTML code for the HTML control. I see that Vilmos already gave you an example.

    Check AOT > Forms > tutorial_Form_Controls, on the HTML tab you have a hyperlink. That is a HTML control, which they populate in the run method like this:

    void run()
{
    Html.setText(  "<html><body>" +
                    "<h3>The HTML Viewer/Editor</h3>" +
                    "<p>The HTML Control can Show and Edit HTML text.<p>" +
                    "<p>It supports images and <a href=www.microsoft.com/BusinessSolutions&gt;hyperlinks</a>" +
                    "</body></html>");
    super();
}

    As i said , i need the hyperlink on the HTML tabpage . After i select the record from the grid, selected record 'field'(URL from VendTable) should display as a hyperplink that users click on.

    Do I understand correctly that by "to display URL" you mean showing a hyperlink that users can click on?

    Then why don't you simply use a button with Style = Link?
