To whom it may concern,
The application I am thinking of building is a sales order entry app that
will have multiple drop down windows associated with corresponding text
boxes (see attached). Is it possible with the Revolution Studio product to
tie a MS Word "bookmark" to each of the text boxes so within the application
I can click a button and have the app launch MS Word and dump the content of
each of the text boxes into the corresponding bookmark fields in a
pre-formatted Word template (i.e. the Word document would look very similar
to the app input)? Or is there a more efficient way to do this?
One good way to do this is to create the Word template first, and insert
placeholders for each item that you will later fill with actual data.
For example, put something like "***NAME***" in the place where a name
will go, or "***TOTAL***" in the place where a sum total will go. Save
the file. If you want, you can store the file inside a custom property
in your stack so that it doesn't have to reside on disk.
Then in Revolution, you open the file (or put the custom property into a
variable) and use the "replace" command to replace your placeholders
with actual values:
replace "***NAME***" with tName in myTemplateFile
Once that is done, save the file to disk under a new name, and then use
the "launch" command to open the file with MS Word.
