General function to set selection state of another app for mashups

jgunders — Mon, 09 Dec 2019 21:03:41 GMT

Trying to write a general function to set the selection state in another app when writing mashups.

So trying to use it like this:

var selState = app.selectionState( ); //get state of app

selState.OnData.bind( stateListener, app1 ); //bind to function with argument of app1 to set it's state

But it's not calling the listener.

Ideas appreciated!

Found a work-around but not that happy with it. Instead of an argument I set a global scope var to the application:

var theApp; function stateListener() { theApp.clearAll(); var selFields = this.selections; if (selFields!=null){ $.each(selFields, function(key, value) { var valArray=[]; $.each(value.selectedValues, function(key,value){ valArray.push(value.qName); }) theApp.field(value.fieldName).selectValues(valArray, true, true); }); } }

and use the function like:

var selState = app.selectionState( ); //get state of app
theApp = app1; //set global to app1
selState.OnData.bind( stateListener ); //bind to function
