Recover the value of a field

[kaw]

I want to retrieve the value of a field of my screen to put in my url: http://ipadress?p='fieldvalue'.
What should I do?

The get() API should do the trick. See here:

Code: Select all

var url = "http://ipaddress?p=" + get("MyFieldId");

I have a similar question. I can get a value if it is an input or display with a set field location.
My problem is how do I get value of field in a grid when I click on the row.
I know how to determine the row number but I have a problem when I try to get a value from a specific colum and row in the grid. So my Question is how do i determine the Id of that location?

You will need to use the getCellValue() method, described here:

This works fine when the number of rows is small. I am linking my grid to a database file and and I have over 100 records in the file. To be able to get cell value, the grid on the screen has to show all the records. If I have fewer rows than records, when I scrow down and click on a record it sends me a null value. I have two field values I am trying to retrieve when I click on a row so a drop down box does not work. Is there a way to get a value with out making the number of rows in the grid larger than the available records?

In our next update, we will be publishing an update to the .getCellValue() API that will resolve this issue.
