Target property
Special value available in formulas:
Item
The button this property is part of, enabling multiple checked items in the app designer to share the same formula and be updated all at once.
Consider the fields Field1 and Field2, which should
only be considered to be valid if their values are
greater than 4. Without using the Item value, the Valid
property of Field1 would need to use the formula Field1 > 4Field1 > 4 and the Valid
property of Field2 would need to use the formula Field2 > 4Field2 > 4.
Using Item, both formulas can read Item > 4Item > 4. This is useful
if you have many fields and you want to be able to update their
formulas all at once. To do so, click their check boxes in Calcapp
Creator and make sure that a checked field is selected. Then, when you
update a formula for one checked field, you update all the other
checked fields too, which is a great timesaver.
Use Item in exactly the same way you'd use the regular
name. Button1.VisibleButton1,Visible and Item.VisibleItem,Visible are equivalent, for
instance.
The target where a web page is opened. These are the allowed values:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
BrowseTarget.Default
|
The behavior depends on the default browse targets. This setting may be
changed in Calcapp Creator, in the inspector for the start screen of
your app, under Browse target. If the default setting
is used, the web page is opened in a new window or tab (equivalent to
BrowseTarget.Self), but only if the app is run as a
standalone app. If the app is embedded in a website, the web page is
opened in the current tab or window (equivalent to
BrowseTarget.Top).
|
BrowseTarget.Self
|
The web page is opened in the current tab or window. If the app is
embedded in a website, the web page replaces the app (the
iframe it is part of), but not the web page as a whole.
|
BrowseTarget.Blank
|
The web page is opened in a new tab or window. |
BrowseTarget.Parent
|
The web page is opened in the current tab or window, if the app is run
as a standalone app. If the app is embedded in a website, the web page
replaces the parent of the iframe the app is part of. If
the parent is another iframe, that iframe is
replaced by the web page. If the parent is the top-level web page, the
web page is opened in the current tab or window.
|
BrowseTarget.Top
|
The web page is opened in the current tab or window, if the app is run as a standalone app. If the app is embedded in a website, the web page is opened in the current tab or window. |
BrowseTarget.Named
|
The web page is opened in a new tab or window with the name indicated by the NamedTarget property. If a web page has not already been opened in a tab or window with the given name, a new tab or window is opened. Otherwise, the web page is opened in the tab or window with the given name. |
Examples
Makes a browse button open its web page in a new tab or window.
