Set Properties from UIX

Hi There!

I am trying to set a few properties from the user input (textbox).

No issue on the frontend. However, I tried the simplest approach which is by having the function abc() declared within the <script> tag and then it call the function with onClick() method in html. No success.

I know a few people have shared a little bit of code snippet on updating workflow and whatnot.

Anyone can share the entry point for it? Because I kept getting 'Unable to get property ShellUI of undefined or null reference' error.

can calling the function with the onClick() html work?

I'd need to see a little more here. It sounds like you're trying to interact with the module code (e.g. the ShellUI) from within the dashboard; that won't work.

The dashboard should have a "Vault" reference that you can use to then use the COM API structures to update the object.

So currently I got this simple set up on my dashboard:

body>
<div>
Text to send: <input type="text" id="textToSend" />
</div>
<input type="submit" onclick="sendText()" value="Submit">
</body>

<script>

function sendText(){

var text = document.getElementId('textToSend').Value;

//code to update the object

}

</script>

Would something like this work?

Well, another option is to go with a Vault Extension Method. But I don't know how to connect it with the input.

Take a look at the below to get an idea:

<html>
<body>
<div>
Text to send: <input type="text" id="textToSend" />
</div>
<input type="submit" id="mySubmit" value="Submit">

<script type="text/javascript">

function OnNewDashboard(dashboard)
{
   // This is called when the dashboard is rendered.
   // The dashboard has a Vault reference you can use.
   
   // By wiring up the event handlers here we have easy access to the dashboard.
   
   // Wire up the event handlers.
   document.getElementById("mySubmit").onclick = function()
   {
    // Get the value.
    var value = document.getElementById("textToSend").Value;
    
    // TODO: Do something with it.
    // For example, something like:
    dashboard
        .Vault
        .ExtensionMethodOperations
        .ExecuteVaultExtensionMethod("myVaultExtensionMethod", value);
        
    // TODO: Close the window?
   }
}


</script>
</body>
</html>
