WA OPEN URL ({*; }object; url)
Parameter | Type | Description | |
* | * | If specified, object is an object name (string) | |
If omitted, object is a variable | |||
object | Form object | Object name (if * is specified) or | |
Variable (if * is omitted) | |||
url | String | URL to load in Web area |
Description
The WA OPEN URL command loads the URL passed in the url parameter into the Web area designated by the * and object parameters.
If an empty string is passed in url, the WA OPEN URL command does nothing and no error is generated. To load a blank page into the Web area, pass the string "about:blank" in url.
Like the existing OPEN WEB URL command, WA OPEN URL accepts several types of syntaxes in the url parameter to designate the files:
posix syntax: "file://c:/My%20File"
system syntax: "c:\MyFolder\MyFile" (Windows) or "MyDisk:MyFolder:MyFile" (Mac OS).
This command has the same effect as modifying the value of the "URL" variable associated with the area. For example, if the variable of the area is named MyWArea_url:
MyWArea_url:="http://www.4d.com/"
is the same as:
WA OPEN URL(MyWArea;"http://www.4d.com/")
