Communicating with a FormBox

Overview

This article provides a code example of how to communicate between an ASP.NET page and a Visual WebGui application contained in a FormBox on that page.

Details

Currently, communicating with a Visual WebGui FormBox from an ASP.NET page that contains it, to make it change in some way, is tricky. This is as a result of the Obscuring mechanism that changes the names of the JavaScript functions used in the Visual WebGui application, thus making them much harder to access from the outside.

Based on the code-snippet linked below, you can communicate freely between the ASP.NET page and the Visual WebGui application contained in the FormBox.
