Procedure CallBack Handle hMsg String sOptArg1 String sOptArg2 String sOptArg3 String sOptArg4 String sOptArg5 String sOptArg6 String sOptArg7 String sOptArg8 String sOptArg9 String sOptArg10

Call:

Send CallBack hMsg sOptArg1 sOptArg2 sOptArg3 sOptArg4 sOptArg5 sOptArg6 sOptArg7 sOptArg8 sOptArg9 sOptArg10

Use this procedure to delay a task to a new server next round-trip. This has the advantage that the user interface (UI) will be updated and it will potentially get around timeout issues. You would use this when performing longer running processes.

The message handle passed as the first argument will be called in a new round-trip. This message does need to be published using WebPublishProcedure and should be available on this web object. Up to 10 optional parameters can be passed that will be passed back to the callback message.

Sample

This example shows how the callback system can be used to break up a process into multiple calls updating the user interface on each step.

Object oProgressBar is a cWebProgressBar
    Set piColumnSpan to 7
End_Object

Object oProcessCustomer is a cWebButton
    Set piColumnSpan to 3
    Set psCaption to "Process"
    Set piColumnIndex to 7
    
    Procedure DoProcessCustomers Integer iProgress
        //  Here you would do the actual work
        Sleep 2
        
        Increment iProgress
        WebSet piValue of oProgressBar to (iProgress * 10)
        If (iProgress < 10) Begin
            Send CallBack (RefProc(DoProcessCustomers)) iProgress
        End
    End_Procedure
    
    WebPublishProcedure DoProcessCustomers

    Procedure OnClick
        Send CallBack (RefProc(DoProcessCustomers)) 0
    End_Procedure
End_Object
