I am using "ph_openiewindow" to open an empty .txt file. I want to display the contents of a couple of P.H. global variables in this window.
I know from this thread the handle of this window, but I do NOT KNOW to display these global variables. Would I use "sendmsg" or "sendmsg_s"?
I think it might take the form of something like this (but this does not work):
ph_sendmsg(ph_openiewindow("test Window", "C:\empty.txt", 0, -1, -1, 950, 950, 0),"{global1} /cr/lf {global2} /cr/lf", ??, )
USEAGE:
ph_openiewindow(title,url,flags,x,y,width,height,timeout)
ph_sendmsg_s(handle, msgnum, wparam, string)
ph_sendmsg(handle, msgnum, wparam, lparam)
Thanks in advance.

One way to get info into that window is with a url of ph-cgi/directhtml and some HTML.
Something like...
Code:
| ph_openiewindow( "PH Window", 'http://localhost:8000/ph-cgi/directhtml?html="<html>& lt;body>{global1}<br><br>{global2}</body&g t;</html>"', 128, -1, -1, 800, 600, 10) |

Thanks Tony,
I tried this:
ph_openiewindow( "PH Window", 'http://localhost:8000/ph-cgi/directhtml?html="<html>& lt;body>"{GLOBAL1}"<br><br> "{GLOBAL2}"</body&g t;</html>"', 128, -1, -1, 800, 600, 10)
It opens the window, but I get the standard:
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable.
Windowds error message. I did make sure {Global1} and {Global2} are defined. I also tried to run this formula from the web center....same error.
What else am I doing wrong. Other ideas?

It looks like the forum trashed the formula. Try this.
Also, if you are not replacing global1 and 2 with different names, you need to use brackets around them, not braces.

Still no luck.....(thanks for trying Tony  ).
It APPEARS to me that opening a url of ph-cgi/directhtml and some HTML type window to display P.H. Global Variable informtion takes a BUNCH (0.8 sec), LONGER than opening an empty text file window.
Since I am trying to use this displayed information as feedback from button presses (from an IR remote) this delay (0.8 sec) is NO GOOD.
IF it is possible, I sure would like to know how to get this Global Variable information to display in a simple "text type" window (with carriage returns and line feeds - for decent formatting).
Thanks again.

Then you should try a web page that ph_openiewindow can use and put it in the powerhome/web folder.
status.psp
Code:
<html>
<body>
{global1}<br><br>
{global2}
</body>
</html> |
|
|
Then use ph_openiewindow("Status", "http://localhost:8000/status.psp", 128, -1, -1, 1600, 1200, 10)
Another option, if this is on the PH machine, would be to just use the Message Box function.
