WAD command to change captions? custom command/javascript?

Former Member — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 16:08:56 GMT

Hi all,

I'd like to have a button where the text changes when the user hits that button. I was wondering if I can do this via a command. How can I create my own command? Or do I just have to use javascripts instead?

The whole thing should look something like this:

button "show graph"

--> user hits button: graph is shown and text changes to close graph

button "close graph"

--> user hits button: graph is set to invisible and text changes to show graph

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Hi Tom,

I also encountered problem like urs where i need to create one custom command after searhing a lot through SDN Posts and other materials i concluded that there is no way that we can create the custom command, so the only option left is to use javascript.

Yeah, I think it should be possible to change the label of the button using javascript

I think I'm doing something wrong...

I've created a buttongroup with 2 buttons. I've created a script web item where with the "Set Web Item Parameters" I filled out some caption for one of these buttons. As action, I hang the script function (there was only one option available). But when I run it I don't get any changes on the screen. Am I doing something wrong after creation of the script?

Is it possible to set breakpoints in these javascripts (by the way, I'm using BI AddOn 7.x, based on 6.40, support package 15 patch 2 revision 387).
