DataForm is simple fixed form dialog to display complex RPG data. (Fore more complex forms you can
create an instance of Internet Explorer and use HTML forms).
You create DataForm object with Overseer.CreateDataForm()
call. DataForm has the following properties:
The bottom area of dialog is an instance of WebBrowser
control. You can get interface to instance of this control by using GetHTMLTextDispatch()
call. After this call you can use WebBrowser control just like
regular instance of Internet Explorer.
For example, if you want to fill the bottom part with HTML text you can use
embedded Document object writeln() function.
var dataForm=Overseer.CreateDataForm();
dataForm.GetHTMLTextDispatch().Document.writeln("<br><b>Spell
description<b><br>");
Alternatively, instead of writing your own content into the WebBrowser
control, you can can navigate control to open internet URL or file
location:
dataForm=Overseer.CreateDataForm();
var dataForm.GetHTMLTextDispatch().Navigate2("http://www.overseer3d.com/");
Display() method displays DataForm object as modeless dialog box.
Dialog content is determinated by previously set properties and operations
with WebBrowser control.
Note: You can have as many open DataForms as you
want, but any data which is not assigned to global variable will be
considered unassigned and will be deleted during next JScript garbage
collection sweep. You can use this to your advantage to close DataForm
objects from script:
spellForm=Overseer.CreateDataForm(); // Dataform must be assigned to global variable
to remain into JScript memory
CollectGarbage(); // Does nothing - dataform is assigned
.... // Some dataform fields init
spellForm.Display(); // Dialog is shown to user
spellForm=null; // Dataform is no longer assigned, but still exist as
unassigned object
CollectGarbage(); // Dataform object is deleted and dialog window will be
closed
