Connecting and retrieving data

To connect and retrieve data, you must write a script. The script can belong to a Retrieve button, or you can have the retrieval occur automatically by putting the code in the window’s onLoad script.

For example, to connect and retrieve data for a Web ActiveX named dw_1, using a DataWindow Transaction Object control named trans_1, your script would be similar to this:

trans_1.Connect( );

dw_1.SetTransObject( trans_1 );

dw_1.Retrieve( );

When you use the internal transaction properties, the Web ActiveX makes the connection automatically. The script can be simpler, like this:

dw_1.Retrieve( );
