"Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi"?

I’ve hit the wall. I’m a one person shop who wants to start developing Cache on a mac using Eclipse/Atelier, after using Studio for the last 5 years. I’ve installed the 1.1 beta plugin, watched 6 or 7 videos from the September conference, tried several times to work through the cheat sheets, only to have connection issues or compilation issues, so at this point, I’m feeling very frustrated. The videos were interesting, but generally didn’t work as tutorials for fundamental programming operations, for me.

I feel comfortable with Objectscript and Zen development in

I want to limit the length of the value of a textarea in Zen. In HTML the textarea element has a 'maxlength' attribute, but the Zen component doesn't have an equivalent property. Is there any way to add a maximum length in Zen short of creating my own custom component?

I want to call ZenMethod when page is closing. Is it possible?

I tried

ClientMethod onunloadHandler() [ Language = javascript ]
{
    zenPage.SomeZenMethod();
}

Method SomeZenMethod() [ ZenMethod ]
{
    // to do some work
}

but it is not working

Hi everyone! My company has a Zen ERP application with CSP delegated authentication. Now, we're developing a separated BI application, using Angular, which consumes DeepSee REST API services. Both applications access the same Caché database.

How to implement single sign-on strategy in order to allow an already authenticated ERP user to access DeepSee REST services? Has anyone already implemented something like that?

Thanks in advanced.

How to show alert message on ZEN when user closing window?

Standart js way to add listener is not working.

I tried this

ClientMethod onloadHandler() [ Language = javascript ]{zenPage.window.addEventListener('onbeforeunload', function(e){
   
        return 'Are you sure you want to leave?';});
    
}

and this, but both are unsuccessfully .

ClientMethod onloadHandler() [ Language = javascript ]{
    
    
   zenPage.window.onbeforeunload = zenPage.myClientMethod;}

When I add a parameter to dataCombo for loading it on runtime and the property editable set to 0, dynamically loading content for dropdown through parameter works fine.

But, when I set editable to 1, to implement user search in dataCombo, loading through parameter is not working, it is loaded all rows, but I need loading on some parameter. It don't see the parameter, when editable is 1.

Is it normal behavior of dataCombo? But how about user search in dataCombo on this case? When editable is 0, we can't enter any character in dataCombo.

I have a <tablePane> element with OnCreateResultSet and OnExecuteResultSet methods; autoExecute is "false" but the OnCreateResultSet and OnExecuteResultSet methods are nevertheless called on page load.

I want the user to be able to press a button to submit the parameters, then have this button call tablePane.executeQuery() to execute the query.

autoExecute is simply igonored.  We're on 2014.1.3 with plans to upgrade to 2016 soon.

Are there more settings I need to set? Or is this attribute simply ignored?

<tablePane id="tblReport" useSnapshot="true" autoExecute="false"OnCreateResultSet="CreateRS

I'm working on an existing Zen Report that uses queryClass/queryName to retrieve data using a class that has a Stored Procedure method. Which works fine.
I have created second class with a Stored Procedure method, I modified the zen report to use this class and now I'm having the following error.

Error: SQLCODE: -99 Message: User UnknownUser is not privileged for the operation
ErrorNo: 5540

The dataCombo property columnHeaders is a comma-delimited list of column headers displayed in the dropdown list.

Comma is a delimiter.

But, if I want add comma to columh header, for instance "House number, apartment" - this is value for header of one column.

How can I escape comma in this case?

"House number\, apartment" - is not working. 

Hello all,

In my ZEN login page, I found a way  to bypass the submit button and force a user to click on the Sign In button, thus forcing the code to call my OnSubmit(), like this:

<!--ondefault="return true;"--><!-- this removes the ability to use "return" to login - forces button click to login -->

<loginForm id="loginForm"   ondefault="return true;">

<text name="CacheUserName" />
<password name="CachePassword" />
<!-- the submit button is special, and submits automatically without checking first -->
<!--<submit caption="Login" id="login"  /> -->
<button caption="Login" id="login" onclick="zenPage

TablePane1 is populated when a %ZEN.Component.button on a form is clicked from a JavaScript onclick method.

<button caption="Search" onclick="zenPage.onSubmit();"

TablePane1 also has a JavaScript onselectrow method zenPage.onSelectRow() that gets the currently selected RowID.

onselectrow="zenPage.onSelectRow()"

This JavaScript method gets the RowID and feeds it into ClassMethod GetAuditLogs(ByRef pRowId) [ ZenMethod ] to get the audit events for that record.

ClientMethod onSelectRow() [ Language = javascript ]{
var table=zenPage.getComponentById('table1');	var dataRow=table.getRowData(

Greetings!

I'm new to Zen reports and I'm wondering if what I'm trying to do is possible.  I have a classmethod  that accepts three parameters to generate an xml file from a global.    I've set up my Report Definition to call the ClassMethod that generates the .xml file; however, I'm trying to figure out how to pass the parameters to that ClassMethod from the Report Definition.  The example in the documentation shows parameter passing using SQL (which I'm not using), so I'm curious if this will work.  

I have a tablePane. TablePane can have one, or two, or three parameters. It depends on some conditions.

At first I add all three parameters to tablePane.

set p1 = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.parameter).%New()
set p1 .id = ..id1
do table.parameters.Insert(p1 )
do %page.%AddComponent(p1 )

set p2 = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.parameter).%New()
set p2 .id = ..id2
do table.parameters.Insert(p2 )
do %page.%AddComponent(p2 )

set p3 = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.parameter).%New()
set p3 .id = ..id3
do table.parameters.Insert(p3 )
do %page.%AddComponent(p3 )

Then through javascript I set parameters values and query names.

Hello All,

While extracting the huge amount of data in the cache through the Zen page, file extraction timing is greater than session time out. How to increase the session timing in Zen/CSP gateway or If any other solution would be appreciated.  Please advise.

Hi All,

We have a application currently running on Zen framework, now business wants to use Angular JS as their front-end technology for any future release but they don't want to upgrade the existing the modules which are already there in Zen (as of now).

Hi

Has anyone worked out any tricks to overcome this issue in 2015 and IE11 where the Dialog content is masked. I'm trying to fix it in a custom one, but you can see that the same issue is happening in the Standard Color Selection one as well.

Hi,

I am trying to create a new dashboard using zen page for different namespaces. Could someone give me a sample code on how I can start designing the page for different namespaces in a single zen page/zen application.

I needed to use the OnGetNodeInfo callback of a Zen <dynaTree>, because this seems to be the only way to control the style separately for different levels of the tree. This post describes two discoveries I made.

How a dynaTree builds a tree via the OnGetNodeInfo callback

When you use a dynaTree with the OnGetNodeInfo callback, the dynaTree creates a series of nodes and displays them top to bottom in the order they were created. 

The OnGetNodeInfo callback is an iterator.  To create the nodes, the dynaTree calls the OnGetNodeInfo callback, each time passing the variable pHandle to it.  Initially,

Set dynaform property  layout="horizontal" makes form controls to be shown horizontal in one row.

But how configure dynaform to show controls in several horizontal rows?

Hi all,

     Is there any way to add more systems defined widgets into the ZEN components ?

     Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

I have a tablePane that always displays with the bottom row selected. The SQL is executed when the submit/search button is clicked.  See attached.

Does anyone know how to enable row selection but prevent the bottom row being selected after the button onClick event?

<tablePaneid="workBioTable"maxRows="1000" pageSize="6"width="1000px" showRowNumbers="false"showZebra="true"useSnapshot="true"extraColumnWidth="5%"
  initialExecute="false"sql="SELECT workbio.RequestDate, workbio.SpecId, workbio.Worksheet, %SQLUPPER(wsfbio.ProfileDescription) As ProfileDescription, 

In Cache 2013.1.6.950.1 I have a ZEN dataGrid which works fine except if I use the mouse wheel to scroll through it.

If you use the mouse wheel (rather than the scroll bar) to scroll to the bottom of the grid and then click the checkbox against the bottom row it works the first time however if you then scroll back down the grid with the mouse wheel to the check box and uncheck it the check box will still be checked when you scroll back down to it and it only goes unchecked when you click in it a second time.

I need a trick to display the cellTitle for just ONE column in a tablePane with a unique value.  Here are the issues:

1. OnDrawCell has access to the cell data for that row/column, in %query(pName),  but setting the cellTitle property to a column doesn't refresh the column object

2. Setting showValueInTooltip is good for the entire table, not just one cell

3. ** the column element does not evaluate zen expressions, so I can't say cellTitle="#(%query.Comment)#", for example.  That's the crux of the problem.

<tablePane id="tblComplete"  
 tableName="MyTable" 
 orderByClause="ID DESC"

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to bind data and display it on

    %ZEN.SVGComponent.sprite

class objects?

The only example I could find in the documentation was:

http://localhost:57777/csp/samples/ZENTest.SVGSpriteTest.cls

where I could only statically display a label. Anyone have any have any experience here?

Thanks,

Bob Harris

I want programmatically select last added row in tablePane. How I can do it?

Suppose I have an image and need to convert that image into a PDF for inclusion in an HL7.

I know that Zen Reports can display an image in a PDF but I do not want to view the image in a web page. I just need to convert the image to PDF in a Process and then include that PDF in an HL7. The  workflow would be like this:

Get image -> Convert image into PDF -> Include PDF in HL7 OBX.

I know how to do the last part to include PDF in HL7 OBX. Just need ideas on the first part.

I am attempting to do two things with the mime types.

Collect the mime type from a stream(%FileBinaryStream) using this syntax: myCONTENTTYPE=stream.GetAttribute("Content-Type")

However, myCONTENTTYPE always comes in empty.

Set the CONTENTTYPE PARAMETER in the OnPage ClassMethod of a ZEN page, using this syntax: s ..#CONTENTTYPE=myCONTENTTYPE

However, I cannot seem to get the correct syntax.

I would appreciate any and all help. Thank you.

If you are developing applications that use CSP or Zen, or potentially any of the other InterSystems web-related stuff that's built on top of CSP, then it's important to know how to keep one particular secret.

A central part of the CSP security architecture is a server-side session key. "Server-side" because its value should never be revealed to the client that is issuing the web requests. If it is revealed, a malicious client might be able to use it to bypass your security and make your server do things you don't want it to.

Your session key is available as a property named Key of your

Hi!

Sometimes when I have Zen page in a browser (e.g. Management Portal page) and when my Internet connection interrupts, I see the alert window on the page, something like this screenshot:

Is there any setting for the CSP web app to prevent this alerts from popping up?

Hi,

is there a way to implement the behaviour for a zen dataCombo? Let´s assume the dataCombo retrieves it´s data via sql query, lets say 50 records. Now the user type into the input of the datacombo 'a', which shall auto select the first entry beginning with character 'a'. If the type 'a' again, the next item from the list is selected. What I am looking for is an approach to implement such an behaviour. See a simple <select> component which support the desired functionality out-of the box.

I´ve found an old google group entry on this
