Class Context() Professional
Class function of the Context class
Description
A Context object provides information about the connection between Web browser and WAA gateway. It is passed as the second parameter to a registered form-function. Example:
FUNCTION _Register( oPackage )
oPackage:registerForm( "UserForm" )
RETURN
FUNCTION UserForm( oHTML3, oContext )
<...>
RETURN .T.
With methods in the group Connection information about the connected gateway can be retrieved.
Methods in this group Session management allow attaching persistent data to a session consisting of multiple HTML pages. This way, data entered by a user in an HTML page can be stored within a registered form-function by passing them to the oContext:setCargo() method. When a user selects the next HTML page, stored data can be retrieved in another form-function using oContext:getCargo().
