Sample

Object oInventory is a cWebView
    Set psCaption to "Inventory Browser"
    Set piColumnCount to 3
    Set pbClearAfterSave to False
    Set piWidth to 750

    Object oInvt_DD is a Invt_DataDictionary
    End_Object

    Set Main_DD to oInvt_DD
    Set Server  to oInvt_DD

    Object oItem_ID is a cWebForm
        Set psLabel to "Stock Code:"
        Entry_Item Invt.Item_ID
    End_Object

    Object oDescription is a cWebForm
        Set psLabel to "Description:"
        Set piColumnIndex to 1
        Set piColumnSpan to 2
        Entry_Item Invt.Description
    End_Object    

    Object oCatalog is a cWebIFrame 
        Set piHeight to 500
        Set psUrl to "Catalogs/LumberCatalog.pdf"
    End_Object

    Object oPaversBtn is a cWebButton
        Set psCaption to "Show Pavers"

        Procedure OnClick
            WebSet psURL of oCatalog to "Catalogs/PaversCatalog.pdf"
        End_Procedure
    End_Object
End_Object

The above example demonstrates a web view with two web forms for browsing data from the Inventory table. Below this, an IFrame is used to embed a .pdf file (LumberCataLog.pdf) located in the Catalogs sub-folder of the web application's URL. This is followed by a web button. The button's OnClick event uses the WebSet command to change the .pdf file displayed in the IFrame.

This example also demonstrates the use of the Set command, to set the design-time value of psURL, and the WebSet command to change the local value of psURL for the client that made the OnClick call.

About Web Properties

Each web property maintains two values: The regular property value is set during object creation and should not be changed during the lifetime of that object. To access that value, use the standard property Get and Set syntax.

The web property value is the local value stored at each client. This is synchronized to the client's local value whenever a server call is being processed. To access the web property value, use the WebGet and WebSet syntax above instead of the standard Get and Set syntax.
