Hello everyone,
I have a nice app going and I just hit a road block. I have a form widget from a remote database that is our Content Management system. It stores all kinds of documents and metadata for those docs. That part is working great.
How I'm building this app is by displaying a grid of records that are approval records for these documents. 1st status is "needs to approve". I have a row icon that then loads this form widget and I use the form helper program to hide all the values except 1 and that values is created in the form helper. The values is an iframe with the URL to 1 of these documents. That also works. I'm happy with loading documents from one system in my nitro app.
Where it stops working is when I'm done with this first document. The user presses a button that approves or denies the document, the button helper updates the system, and NAB does a "hide widget" to go back to the starting grid. The next document is then needed so the user click a row icon to "show widget" again but my form helper program does NOT kick off. My guess is that since the form was rendered once, that's it. No more. I need my form helper to kick off when the form brought up every time. I thought that the Show/Hide widgets would work, but it does not for what I need.
I have the widget "initially hidden" so the form helper does not start when the app loads, then it runs on the first "Show" but never again. I know the form helper can run when a field is changed, but my users are not doing that. They are using a button to make an approval, and then I "hide" the widget.
Any ideas on how I can get the form helper to run when the widget have a behavior of Show widget and load data?
Thanks.
