That was really neat. Who know it could be so simple?
I took the idea and incorporated it right into PowerPro exe version
4.5.06d. Only the exe is uploaded to the webeddie folder. Here is
how it works.
1. For buttons that you want to display a browser, set the label of
the button to
*control ie<id=anId>
Of course, the id is optional but I will use below.
2. Set the tool tip to the page to be navigate to.
3. Set the button width and height.
I only tested displaying internet web pages. I could type into them
and navigate links; however, Tab and other control keys did not
work. I don't know why.
I also implemented an embedded edit control
1. Set label to
*control edit<id=anId>
2. Set tooltip to initial text.
3. Click on edit and type text. Pressing enter executes the left
command under the edit on the button. All other clicks go to the
edit control. Tab will navigate to next control on bar.
4. You can retrieve/set the text with
cl.gettooltip("bar","anId")
and set it similarly with settooltip.
5. You can get the window handle for the edit with cl.getCtrlHandle
win.setfocus(cl.getCtrlHandle("bar","anId")) // set focus to edit
Not tested, but if you put
*control generic
in name box
and progid or GUID of control in tool tip, it should instantiate
that control.
There should be a way to use the COM plugin to access the controls
through adding a service that uses one of the AtlAx functions to
access the IUnknown interface, as well as getting the control
name/GUID from the button name field. But I am not sure; I would
leave that up to Alan C if he wants to pursue.
