WB 12 - executing a page from another page and return tot the first page.

Hi all,

I'm converting a WD12 project to WB12 and got stuck with a "minor" problem. When I'm executing a page from another page, the code execution in the first window doesn't stop. So when the second window is closed, the code after the pagedisplay(second window) command has already been executed. Is there a workaround for this ?

I hope I made myself clear. Thanks for any help in the good direction.

Kind regards,

Aad

Hi...

You CANNO'T and SHOULDN'T try to duplicate the process you were using in
windev in a web site... It doesn't work the same way, and you are going
to be stuck all the time with minor problems like this one...

If I understand correctly, you are opening here a second browser window
and displaying a page in it, and yo want to come back to the first one
afterwards... That is NOT a standard web behavior and will create many
problems (what happen when the user CLOSES the first page? and that is
just one example)...

What you should do here is display the second page INSTEAD of the first
one, then display the first page again, all of that in the SAME
browser... And of course, adapt your code accordingly...

Best regards

Hi Fabrice,

Thank you for you reply.

I'm NOT opening a second browser but stay in the same session like a table/form construction. I understand as from your replay that it isn't possible to call a window and pick up the code where I left it. So everything after a pagedisplay() is not executed when the focus gets back to the calling page i.e. after pagedisplay(previouspage()) I have to put all the code from the 2nd page in the first then.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Aad

Hi Aad,

pagedisplaydialog() might help you...

Cheers,

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your suggestion. The help file looks very promissing, but....

This is the message I'm receiving:

The current page (<wijzigbijdragen>) cannot be closed by PageCloseDialog: it was not opened by PageDisplayDialog.
To close it, use ContextClose.

I'm using PageDisplayDialog for sure. Any hints ??


Regards, Aad

Peter,

I tried PageDisplayDialog in another page and it works great. Just what I wanted. Thanks again for your input.

Kind regards,

Aad
