Title: Update widget data-ui-field
Post by: maxflax on September 21, 2014, 11:13:10 PM

I am wondering how to go about in the easiest manner to update a data-ui-field in my widget from my C# script.

Your c# app must call Program.RaiseEvent:

Code: [Select]

Program.RaiseEvent("MyField.Name", "SomeValue", "Some Description");

the widget "Refresh" method will then be invoked automatically.

Hi maxflax,

please post here both the code of the c# program and of the widget (html and json files).
You also need to instruct the widget json file about what field to update from your c# app module to the widget html UI elemets (binding/mapping).

Cheers,

I took the route setting a property from C# which I then in the json code retrieve with HG.WebApp.Utility.GetModulePropertyByName and set to my span html tag.
Not a traditional binding but it does get the job done.
