Using iText I added this js code on button click:
var response = SOAP.request(
{
cURL: 'http://10.150.3.131:8080/TestClientWS/services/RegFortAdminSvc',
oRequest: {'http://stubs.admin.regfort.arcot.com:GetPAMImage':{name:'ABCD'}
},
bEncoded: false,
cNamespace: 'http://stubs.admin.regfort.arcot.com',
cResponseStyle: SOAPMessageStyle.Message
}
);
console.show();
var imgValue = response[0].soapValue[0].soapValue;
var srcStream = SOAP.streamFromString(imgValue);
var decodedStream = SOAP.streamDecode(srcStream,\"base64\");
console.println(this.getField(\"Confirm\").buttonGetCaption());
app.alert(this.getField(\"Confirm\").buttonGetCaption());
var f = this.getField(\"Confirm\");
f.buttonSetCaption(\"Hello\");
f.buttonSetIcon(decodedStream); //It requires an Icon object but I am not
able to create an Icon obj from stream.
Leonard I am able to set the the buttons caption but not the image. Please
help me on this.
