ui.invoke() stopped working

Hi,
on BPM 857 cf2016.06 I upgraded my proc app to SPARK UI 4.4.2 TRIAL and then I found that the me.ui.invoke() function does not work anymore. On a Text control inside a custom CV, the on-change handler is supposed to call a function defined as an inline javascript function of the CV. This used to work but not with the new toolkit version. Same issue with Text Area control. Havn’t checked any others.

The function is defined as:
this.mytestfunction = function(newtext) {
console.log(“mytestfunction in view “+this.context.viewid+” was called with text: “+newtext);
}
In the change handler:
me.ui.invoke(‘testcvfunction’, me.getText()); produces an error, hard to read:

Error in [eventON_CHANGE] inline event handling logic for view /Above/Text1 (UID=0)

…”: “);console.error(c+b)}};a.ui=a.a={};a.a.PHASE_LOAD=a.a.Db=0;a.a.PHASE_NORMAL=…

I could make the function call work by using the @mytestfunction() instead of the invoke, but then I can’t pass arguments, right?

Hello Bjorn,

You should be able to call the function without using the @ symbol or me.ui.invoke().

Try calling your function in the On Change handler: testcvfunction(me.getText());

See the attached screenshots of a function I modified to work in the Trial version with “Hello” passed as var msg.

Regards,
