Component: WebView
Mac OS X: Works
Windows: Works

MBS( "WebView.FindByName" ; WindowRef; WebViewerObjectName )

Parameters

Parameter Description Example value
WindowRef Window Reference is the Unique OS level window ID.
WebViewerObjectName The name of the Web Viewer as set in the object info palette.

Description

Returns a unique ID that references a the web viewer. This function is used by all the other functions to target the correct web viewer. This function requires the WindowRef that is returned by the WebView.FindWindowByTitle function. Known Issues: In FileMaker 9, the WebView control must have the Display Progress Bar and Display Status Messages check boxes set to "unchecked" Filemaker 8,Windows PC only. The WebView Control can not be set to have "zero" line width on it's border. With the release of 1.4 this function became optional. You can now access a WebViewer by its name. But this is still useful in some scenarios. If you are trying to get a handle on WebViewer that is displayed in List mode, you must use this method.

Examples

[
