Classic Servoy

Hi All,

Is there any list of Features/Areas where code that works in the Smart Client won’t translate to the Web Client?

Thanks

As a starting point, you could have a look at the wiki:

Feel free to add you own findings, it is not guaranteed that this list is exhaustive.

Thanks Patrick for the information. It is really a Great one, actually, exactly the same thing that I am looking for. Thanks for the same. Is there any workaround for application.setClipBoardString() and application.getClipBoardString() methods as those won’t work in web client?

Thanks

You should thank Servoy for putting the wiki up, and especially Paul Bakker who does all the work of updating it!

As to using the clipboard in web client, the problem is that javascript running on the browser is limited by a security sandbox which is dependent on the user’s browser security settings. Nowadays access to clipboard is not granted by default to javascript anymore.

I know this thread is from a while back, but I am trying to do something with Servoy Web Client on iOS and I need to be able to put the clipboard contents into a field/global automatically [I am doing bar code scanning using ‘CNS Barcode’ iOS app that allows the scanner app to pass data back using iOS URL schema, but when it does multiple bar codes in one go, it passes all the scanned data in the clipboard]

Have you come up with a way of putting the clipboard contents into Servoy Web Client? Could your ServoyForge ‘Web Client Utils’ plugin help me (I tried using the sample code in the plugin on the iOS Web Client, but it didn’t seem to work?
Thanks

Hi Rafi,
I know that this kind of access could be granted to signed script in Mozilla browsers. Not even sure this is still the case, and even though I doubt that would work in Safari on iOS.
Meaning you’re out of luck.

Oh dear!
Thanks for the reply.
