Uniface 9.5 Launched

Uniface 9.5 is ready and we highlighted that with a RAD Race between the teams of the Uniface Lab. I made the exercises with input from Adrian Gosbell, our Uniface Product Manager. And did the judging with Aad van Schetsen, vice-president of Uniface. Everybody had a lot of fun doing this and we celebrated at the end of the day with some drinks etc. Pictures can be found on our Uniface page on Facebook. Next stops: Uniface 9.6 and Uniface 10.

Sample for iframe on DSP

If you want to show a non-Uniface web page in your new Uniface 9.5 DSP application, there is a simple solution.

In this sample I will show you how it can be done using an iframe. My example consists of a single DSP with a field where you can enter a URL and two buttons to demonstrate two possible techniques to show the page.

First we make an iframe in the HTML source in the layout editor:

Next we write a weboperation that takes an URL as parameter and puts it in the iframe:

The first button uses Uniface Proc code to call the weboperation with the value of the field. This causes a trip to the server, but you can use this code as sample to call the webopration from anywhere in Uniface:

The second button uses JavaScript code in a webtrigger to call the weboperation with the value of the field. Now everything is executed on the browser:

This is how your screen should look like when you have loaded Uniface.info:

NB: Unfortunately not every web page wants to be in an iframe, but this works for most.
