if you use the Variable browser and say have a syntax... set var vBrowserValue text ='C:\QUEST\file1.pdf'
then you want to change to another pdf file you would do a set var vBrowserValue text ='C:\QUEST\ToOtherFile.pdf' recalc var and that should refresh your browser... ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael J. Sinclair To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 3:24 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Help with Browser Control in forms Hi, I am confused (which is not rare). I want to use a browser control in a form to display documents (mostly PDF). I have 3 Browser control options, Variable, DB and Plain (neither DB nor Variable). To make the control display the document, I think I am supposed to use... PROPERTY <componentID> gourl 'value' In my case, value might be ....... 'C:\QUEST\file1.pdf First, which browser should I use? If use the Variable Browser, do I use a property command to change the value of the variable, or do I use the property command as above? Both seem to work...does it matter? The other very strange issue I have is that using the latest version of Rbase 7.6 on a Windows 7 machine, seems to cause the browser to display the PDF files incorrectly....data is missing and it is replaced with "@" Do I have to have a PDF viewer installed unrelated to Rbase to make the Browser control work? If not, is there some other reason the browser control is displaying the file incorrectly, but only on Windows 7 machines? Last, what does PROPERTY <componentID> URL 'value' do?? I think it is supposed to change the URL that is displayed but I don't see any change. Am I looking in the wrong area?>> TIA! Mike
