How to handle onReplicantAdded event in 6.1

sanu

Hi All,
I want to capture the event generated when the "+" button of a replicant contianer is clicked. The onReplicantAdded event is not working since the Teamsite version I use is 6.1. I tried with the onItemAdded event as follows,

parent.IWDCEventRegistry.addListener("onItemAdded", ReplicantAdded);

function ReplicantAdded(typeItem)
{
.....
Function1();
Function2();
.....
}

Upto this its working fine... but as soon as I add any methods of "typeItem" parameter as typeItem.getName(), or even as I tried to trace the parent item, the page is being loaded with a javascript error stating " the method is not supported by the object"..

function ReplicantAdded(typeItem)
{
alert(typeItem.getName());
.....
Function1();
Function2();
.....
}

Please any body give some suggestions on this...

Thanks --
Sanu

Functionality not avaiable in 6.1 and can no use anything else to substitue it. Can you explain your requirement?

We are also using the same and is working fine. One difference i can found over is that the itemname could not be fetched on its own in event onItemAdded. Could you pls attach your script for more info?

Well - to begin with, the replicant handler events were added in 6.5 - so if you're using 6.1 you're basically out of luck unless you figure out some completely unsupported hack.

I can only assume from the above that you tried to reverse engineer something to arrive at IWDCEventRegistry.addListener() - as that is not a supported function in FormAPI.

Then there's onItemAdded - which also does not exist, instead there's onItemChanged - so I have to assume that you found this event listed somewhere - but it doesn't mean that it does what you want it to do.

I suggest that if you really need this functionality, you put in for an upgrade - to at least 6.5 if not 6.7.1

See highlight above

If you can tell more about your requirements, then it would be more helpful to provide solution, close to that.

Back in 6.1 heydays IWOV published (at least) two KB Articles with samples of IWDCEventRegistry usage. I still
keep some notes made of them. Unfortunately I did not bother to note KB numbers. Articles were since removed or made
internal, in any case I can not find them anymore. What Sanu is doing with IWDCEventRegistry conforms to the described
syntax and Event naming (An attempt to use 6.5+ IWItem Methods in 6.1 is another story).

Funny thing about current IWEventRegistry is that it is utterly lacking *post events* provided by IWDCEventRegistry.
Granted, you do not need that functionality very often but when you do need it these event triggers are very hard
to substitute with something of your own.

my requirements are :

i want to know the parent item of the typeItem argument and perform according to that. there are many instances of different containers in the DCT.

ISCBorisB, the highlighted code is also not working. its also giving a javascript issue: "Object expected".

my code snippet is ,

function ReplicantAdded(typeItem)
{
var parent = IWDatacapture.getItem(typeItem.getName() + "/..").getName();

if(parent eq "Parent1")
{
................
}
elseif(parent eq "Parent2")
{
............
}
else
{
.............
}
}

for this code i m getting java script error "method not supported by the object".

Please remember that all this stuff is an undocumented hack. I do not know what is the Class of parameter passed to
"onItemAdded" handler (parameter you've named typeItem). It is not however "IWItem" and it does not have "getName"
method.

Try exactly the following, without any other commands whatever:

function ReplicantAdded(typeItem) {
   alert(typeItem.name);
   alert(getXPath(typeItem));
}

In my case it shows "myCollection" and "/myCollection[2]" respectively. Note that I've tested on 6.5 though

thanx very much ISCBorisB,

I tried the code snippet..

function ReplicantAdded(typeItem) {
alert(typeItem.name);
alert(getXPath(typeItem));
}

I m getting the first alert as replicant name (contact_details) though I expected the replicant instance (contact_details[1]); for the second one(getxpath), its showing the same error... "object expected". do I need to call that method by using some object? if yes which one?. I tried, IWDatacapture.getXPath(), parent.getXPath(), this.getXPath().. now what else?

from the first line, "typeItem.name" property ,my requirement won't get satisfy since I need the parent item name. I tried my best to get the parent item name with the following wild guesses..

typeItem.path
typeItem.xpath
typeItem.parent

but of no use... Smiley Sad

It seems that getXPath is not present in 6.1. IMO, you should return to the firm ground of documented API as soon
as possible. In other words, use undocumented listener as an event trigger, that's it. After that you would have to
invent some roundabout way to do what you want. For example, count number of replicants' children upfront (on Init?)
and recalculate them when you caught Add event. The one that got increased is your target, process it and increase
*children counter* for that element - something like that
