Action: Navigate

 

 

 

 

Applies to:
Edit


Description:

Starts a navigation process to the value displayed in the edit field. This corresponds to the "Go" or "Change to" functionality of a standard browser.

Important note: this only works for the Main Web object. Should the edit field be an addressbar for a different web object, this functionality does not work. It's a compatibility functionality for older projects only.

 

A different way to create a "Navigate" button for any web object would be the following:

 

Create a button with the intended web object as target, use action "navigate to target" and enter the variable for the edit field (which stands for the value of the edit field) into the parameter field. Example value: <_Edit1.Text_>, which stands for the value of edit field "Edit1" at that time.

 

Variables for all edit fields of your project can be chosen from the parameter selection button under "Text variables", where all edit and label objects of your project will appear dynamically.
