| Customize the UI for the GWC / Html5 Theme | |
Due to browser security paradigms, some Genero features at the system level cannot be supported.
Drag & Drop from external applications is not supported.
Front End Functions are not fully supported by the GWC. Often this is due to permissions; the browser does not have the permissions necessary to execute the front end function.
Front calls will be honored on browser side: GWC will return a dummy value, and since GWC exposes FrontCalls to the browser, developers can customize FrontCalls to fit their needs. See The FrontCall object.
For generic information on Front End Functions, refer to the Genero Business Development Language Manual.
The following standard front calls are not supported:
Due to browser security limitations, retrieving files from or sending files to the DVM is not as transparent as with a native Front End (such as GDC). However, all snippet set support File Transfer with the DVM as described in File Transfer within the GWC.
Function keys are supported, except for those function keys intercepted by the browser.
Browsers do not distinguish between the Enter and Return keys. You can only use these accelerators for the same action. You may wish to change Enter or Return accelerators to another accelerator to avoid any confusion.
Natural accelerators are not supported. A natural accelerator is when an action text has an ampersand (such as E&dit) and the action is invoked with the ALT+KEY combination (such as ALT+E in our example).
Stored Settings are supported for tables only (show column, hide column, move column, frozen columns) with GWC for HTML5. For more information on the stored settings feature, refer to the Genero Desktop Client User Guide.
