DEVELOPERS FORUM - How do I open a New Window or Dialog Box from a Method?

RonCK - Thursday, June 18, 2009 11:06 AM:

I saw an old post that referened a top.aras.uiShowItem function but I can't find any reference to that function in any of the documentation.  Is it explained somewhere that I'm missing?  I've tried this in a method and it returns no errors, but also doesn't seem to do anything.  Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

RonCK

Look at the folder, C:Program FilesArasInnovatorInnovatorClientjavascript (assuming that you installed Innovator in the default location).  There is a file, ui_methods.js, that contains the code for uiShowItem.

Also, if you put a debugger; command just before your call to uiShowItem, your script debugger would allow you to step through its execution.
