is it possible to pass an array? If so I do not seem to be doing it correctly:

var pFile = ['File1', 'File2', 'File3']; 
FoxInCloud.MethExec('updatesignatures','signature_scx','updatesignatures',pFile) ;

I get the first element only.

I want to use an array since MethExec seems to allow only one parameter.

Thanks

Tuvia,

Yes, FoxInCloud.MethExec() supports a value of any type

Just to be sure, we've implemented a sample here: http://foxincloud.com/tutotest/wFormStandardPage.tuto?awForm=Modal.scx > do form (adapted) > click button 'execute method';

You can also see the source code on line (pretty simple)

Note: VFP does not support passing a parameter by reference (necessary for an array) to a VFP method source of a bindEvent()

updated with an array of various types (N, L, C, D)

if m.thisForm.wlHTMLgen
	return Textmerge("FoxInCloud.MethExec(event, '<<m.this.wcID>>', 'wFormCallBack', [1, true, 'test', new Date()])")
endif

Thanks, passing by reference was the issue. I should have thought of that.

An issue only if your target method has a delegate through bindEvent()

When the method has no delegate FAS passes the value by reference - otherwise raises an error

In case the target method has a delegate and the value to be passed as parameter is an array, we can linearize this array;
in such case your method code would look like:

lparameters taValue
external array taValuelocal success;
, laValue[1];
, nRow, nCol
success = .T.
do case
case Type('taValue', 1) == 'A'
	nRow = Alen(taValue, 1)
	nCol = Alen(taValue, 2)
	if m.nCol > 0
		dimension laValue[m.nRow, m.nCol]
	else
		dimension laValue[m.nRow]
	endif
	Acopy(taValue, laValue)
case Vartype(m.taValue) == 'C'
	nRow = uValue(m.taValue, 'A', @m.laValue) && 'A' support to be developed
otherwise
	assert .F. message 'unhandled parameter type'
	success = .F.
endcase
if m.success
	* ... process laValue ...
endif

please let me know if this would help

Useful but probably not a high priority, so depends on amount of effort required to test etc on your end.

sort terms priorities are:
- release v 2.20
- remote view progressive fetching support
- !grid.Enabled
- this?
