WebForm Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

The WebForm Component is used to POST data to interactive web pages or scripts (CGI, ASP, etc.), similar to what HTML forms do.

Syntax

TipwWebForm

Remarks

The inputs to the script are provided through the FormVars properties. Once the inputs are defined, set the URL property to the address of the script and call the Submit method. Alternatively, you may call the SubmitTo method with URL as the parameter.

The output of the page or script is provided via the Transfer event.

The Encoding property allows you to specify the proper encoding for the form input (this is normally 'urlencoding').
