The Global Extension - Defaults

 

The Defaults tab of the Global Extension lets you set values that will be automatically populated to other Extension templates as you add them throughout your application.

 

This saves you time and makes it easy to implement ProCodeBlock.

 

 

Display a Message

Check this option if you want it enabled automatically as you add other Extension templates.

 

Message Title

This is the TITLE of a standard Clarion Messagebox.

 

Message Text

This is the TEXT of a standard Clarion Messagebox.

 

Use Custom Messagebox Code

Check this option to disable the Standard Messagebox generation and enable an entry button where you can type or paste your own Custom Messagebox code.

 

 

Custom Messagebox Code

Click this button and type/paste your  own Custom Messagebox code.

 

 

 

Display a HTML Help Topic

Check this option if you want it enabled automatically as you add other Extension templates.

 

 

Default Help File

Enter the name of the default HTML help file to display (no quotes needed on this extension)

 

Default Help Topic

Enter the name of the default HTML help file topic to display  (no quotes needed on this extension)

 

Select Display Method

ProCodeBlock can display a HTML help file topic using the ShellExecute API or with the standard Clarion cwHHGlobal template.

 

The default value is to use ShellExecute.

 

What's the difference?

Using ShellExecute to display the help topic means that the help topic will remain open after your application closes.  This can be very useful when you want to close your application after advising the user that they have been CodeBlocked.

 

 

 

Display a Website URL

Check this option if you want it enabled automatically as you add other Extension templates.

 

 

Default Website URL

The URL to display (using ShellExecute)

 

Add URL Button to Messagebox

Check this box to add a button on the standard Messagebox (above) that offers to take the user to a website URL when the Messagebox is displayed.

 

Button Text

The text to go on the standard button (limited to about 10 characters).

 

The default text is Buy Now.

 

Note: the button text is disabled if you are using Custom Messagebox code above
