How to get inserted value in Edit box in Dashboard?

Hi,

I would like to ask how can I get and work with inserted value in Edit box in Dashboard? This box provides "OnApply" trigger with custom code snippet. The problem is that I do not know how can I access this typed value in this box.

Thank you a lot,

Martin

It should be getviewtext(). Passing in a reference to the edit box.

Hi,

I would have another question regarding this topic, is it possible to set a initial value to this type box? If so, how?

Thank you,

Martin

I've not managed to use setviewtext since the opener triggers found in the standard views are not present/preserved in dashboards.

If you can link it to something that might work for you.

Hello Martin. What is the correct synthax for using getviewtext()? How do you reference the edit box?

I tried these but they don't work:

getviewtext(itemcurrent(c))

getviewtext(current)

getviewtext(link)

treenode box=getdashboardcontrol("myEditBox");
return getviewtext(box);
