Adding Images

To add an image to your RAMP command handler, put this example generic code into your SHARED object:  

 var SHARED = 

{

 

   /* ------------------------------------------------- */ 

   /* Handle clicking on a prompt image                 */  

   /* ------------------------------------------------- */ 

 

   oFloatingImage : null,

 

   InsertImage : function(sBesideField,sSource,iHeight,iWidth,iHOffset,iVOffset)

   {    

       var oE = HTMLAPI.getElementbyName(sBesideField);

       

       if (oE == null) return;

 

       var oC = HTMLAPI.getcontainerDIV(oE);

       

       if (oC == null) return;

                

       if (this.oFloatingImage == null)

       {

          this.oFloatingImage = oC.ownerDocument.createElement("<IMG style='position:absolute; visibility:hidden; display:none;' >");  

          oC.ownerDocument.body.insertAdjacentElement("beforeEnd",this.oFloatingImage); 

       }

        

       this.oFloatingImage.src               = sSource;

       this.oFloatingImage.style.pixelTop    = oC.style.pixelTop  + iVOffset;

       this.oFloatingImage.style.pixelLeft   = oC.style.pixelLeft + oC.style.pixelWidth + iHOffset; 

       this.oFloatingImage.style.pixelHeight = iHeight; 

       this.oFloatingImage.style.pixelWidth  = iWidth;   

       this.oFloatingImage.style.visibility  = "visible"; 

       this.oFloatingImage.style.display     = "inline";

            

       return; 

   },

  

And add a new line to your standard layout function to make sure the image dispappears as new screens arrive:

    ApplyStandardLayout : function(aPromptFields)

   {

 

      /* Drop any floating images left around from before */

 

      if (this.oFloatingImage != null) { this.oFloatingImage.style.visibility = "hidden"; this.oFloatingImage.style.display = "none"; }

 

  

You have now added you own completey generic InsertImage capability to any RAMP-TS 5250 screen.Try it out by adding this line to the arrival script of a screen:

         

SHARED.InsertImage("SURNAME","/ts/skins/images/TestImage1.gif",123,100,90,0);

   

 

And you get this:

  

The SHARED.InsertImage() can now be reused anywhere in your application. Do not forget to set authority correctly on an new files in Axes folder.

Remember that adding a new command handler tab for the image would be a quicker and easier solution.
