SetArgElement

PowerScript function

Description

Sets the value in the specified argument element.

Applies to

Window ActiveX controls

Syntax

activexcontrol.SetArgElement ( index, argument )

1	activexcontrol.SetArgElement ( index, argument )

Argument	Description
activexcontrol	Identifier for the instance of the PowerBuilder window ActiveX control. When used in HTML, this is the NAME attribute of the object element. When used in other environments, this references the control that contains the PowerBuilder window ActiveX.
index	Integer specifying argument placement.
argument	Any specifying the argument value.

Return value

Integer.

Returns 1 if the function succeeds and -1 if an error occurs.

Usage

Call this function before calling InvokePBFunction or TriggerPBEvent
to specify an argument for the passed function.

JavaScript scripts must use this function to specify function and
event arguments. VBScript scripts can either use this function or specify
the arguments array directly.

Examples

This JavaScript example calls the SetArgElement function:

function triggerEvent(f) {
      var retcd;
      var rc;
      var numargs;
      var theEvent;
      var theArg;
      retcd = 0;
      numargs = 1;
      theArg = f.textToPB.value;
      PBRX1.SetArgElement(1, theArg);
      theEvent = "ue_args";
      retcd = PBRX1.TriggerPBEvent(theEvent, numargs);
...

function triggerEvent(f) {

var retcd;

var rc;

var numargs;

var theEvent;

var theArg;

retcd = 0;

numargs = 1;

theArg = f.textToPB.value;

PBRX1.SetArgElement(1, theArg);

theEvent = "ue_args";

retcd = PBRX1.TriggerPBEvent(theEvent, numargs);

...
