Hi Jude,

As you have hardcoded the values thats why you are not getting the previous message.

below is the code written by you

IPrivateIDocClientView.IContextElement element = wdContext.currentContextElement();
IWDMessageManager msgMNG  = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
msgMNG.reportSuccess("Success");
msgMNG.raiseException("Failure");

below are my suggestions.

IPrivateIDocClientView.IContextElement element = wdContext.currentContextElement();
IWDMessageManager msgMNG  = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
String success = "Success";
String failure = "Failure";
//now you need to delclare one global variable between 
//@@begin others
String result = success +failure;
  //@@end
// I hope both these statements are in different methods.
msgMNG.reportSuccess("result ");
msgMNG.raiseException("result ");

Hope this will help.

Hi Narendra,

Probably that solution will not work as this is going to print both Success & Failure together.

I suppose his requirement is different.

Please try this:

Use 2 Label / Text View in your application. Set text to them as Success & Failure.

Set there visibility as NONE in doInit method.

When you click 1st button, set the visibility of Success to VISIBILE.

do the same with Failure. Make sure you do not hide them again.

-

---

If you want that again on click of 1st button, Success should come. then do this also.

Take a flag =0 default

just set the flag = 1 if 2nd button is clicked.

on click of 1st button, check

if the flag==1

set visibility to Failure as NONE.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Am sending you my actual code

this is the code for button 1:

Display_Message("success", false);

this is the code for button 2:

Display_Message("Failure", true);

this is the code to print the values in message area:

private void Display_Message(String Message,boolean Error)
	{   		
		IPrivateIDocClientView.IContextElement element = wdContext.currentContextElement();
		IWDMessageManager msgMNG  = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
		if (Error==false)
			msgMNG.reportSuccess(Message);
		else
			msgMNG.raiseException(Message, true);
	}

Regards,

Jude

Hi,

As you mentioned in the below code, if you want to display all your previous messages

Follow these steps:

1.Create a global variable in the view say var1.

2. In the Display_Message method

var1 = var1+Message;

3.Add this code.

if (Error==false)

msgMNG.reportSuccess(var1);

else

msgMNG.raiseException(Message, true);

Hi Jude,

A very slight modification need to be done in your original code.

Follow this:

1. Initialise 1 global variable, say int Flag = 0;

2. private void Display_Message(String Message,boolean Error)

{

IPrivateIDocClientView.IContextElement element = wdContext.currentContextElement();

IWDMessageManager msgMNG = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();

if (Error==false)

{

msgMNG.reportSuccess(Message);

Flag = 1;

}

else

{

if (Flag==1)

{

String Combine = "Success \n"+Message;

msgMNG.raiseException(Combine, true);

}

else

msgMNG.raiseException(Message, true);

}

}

# New codes are in bold.

Hope this will work.

Hi,

Chander, I feel your code your code is not generic.

It will append message only in one scenario - First button (for success message) clicked & then second button (for failure message) clicked.

In other cases, the messages will not be appended. For example, click second button (for failure message) & then click first button (for success message)

Kind Regards,

Nitin,

I know that & that is coded in that fashion only. If button 1 is not clicked, why u require "Success" after clicking button2. It should display only failure (that is what i presumed the requirement).

-

---

If not then the code will be more easier to write. There wont be requirement of any if inside else.

simply display the combination in else block.

hi Jude,

1. create a global variable of type String which holds the previous message.

//@begin others
String prev_msg = null;
//@end others

2. adjust the method

private void Display_Message(String Message,boolean Error)
	{   	
	       String temp = Message;
               Message = prev_msg + Message;
               prev_msg = temp;
		IPrivateIDocClientView.IContextElement element = wdContext.currentContextElement();
		IWDMessageManager msgMNG  = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
		if (Error==false)
			msgMNG.reportSuccess(Message);
		else
			msgMNG.raiseException(Message, true);
	}

Plz close thread, if answered.

Thanks

Please have a look at the below thread

Hi,

Small correction required in last line of above code from Gayathri

msgMNG.raiseException(var1, true); // instead of argument 'Message'

Also, for better readability, you can put some space between the messages thru var = var + " " + Message;

Kind Regards,

Hi Jude,

Hi Chander i think thats what he wanted (append both the messages so that he can print both)

Code which you need to declare global

//now you need to delclare one global variable between 
//@@begin others
String success = "";
String failure = "";
String result = success +failure;
  //@@end

Code for action of button one

String success = "Success";
Display_Message(result , false);

Code for action of button two

String failure= "failure";
Display_Message(result , false);

Else your other coding is fine.

Hi,

I got your problem but can you please tell me on click of a button from where are you getting success or failure message and how you are showing them.

Can you please paste the code which you are using as there are various ways you can append the messages but it all depends on your way of doing it.

Thanks Narendra,

This is the code:

IPrivateIDocClientView.IContextElement element = wdContext.currentContextElement();
IWDMessageManager msgMNG  = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
msgMNG.reportSuccess("Success");
msgMNG.raiseException("Failure");

Jude.

HI,

there are two buttons in my iview and a message area. On clicking Button one a message is displayed say "success", on clicking the second button message "failure" is displayed.

at runtime when i click button one the message "success" is displayed. when i click the second button the message "failure" is displayed, but the previous message "success" is erased.

My question is, Is there any way to append the messages, so i will not be able to lose the older ones..

thanks

Jude.
