Looking for Web Component / webbot reference

2004-07-31, 11:14 pm

Hi all...

Here's another one. I haven't been able to find an SDK
or reference for the common "web components" which
are referenced as "webbots" in HTML code generated
by FP2003.

In particular, I'm trying to figure out the file-upload
parameters, and would rather deal with this from the
code side (and understand what I'm doing) than
simply call up a dialog box to specify properties.

I have MSDN Library for VB.Net, for example, and
sort of hoped to find a reference listing arguments
and parameters. Any pointers to where to find this
info?

Regards,
MVSmith

MS doesn't provide any additional details regard the individual FP webbots.

You are limited to options that are available/accessible from the webbot properties dialog, which
you can then view in Code View where you can make limited changes that will not be overwritten the
next time the page is open in FP.

What is it that you would like to accomplish with the Upload Webbot that you can't accomplish via
the dialog?

Adding additional parameters is of no use if the extensions on the server don't support them, and
the webbots that use the FP run-time extensions are unchanged from those available in the FP2002
client, since the FP2002 extensions are the current/last version.
