2) Load your project in TS2 and navigate to the screen you wish to customise

Click on "Work as a TS2 Developer"

Signon to your session

Type on the command line: "addlible axesdemo" followed by enter

Image

Type on the command line: "call xhrrpgtrn" followed by enter

Image

Put an X next to to an employee

If you don't have a screen definition, press suggest and save the screen.

3) Add a PushButton

Image

4) Edit caption. Change the caption value to "Take me there"

Image

5) Click on the tab "screens"

Please note: This script uses the values of the fields Street, City, State, Country and these names need to be defined in the screens tab of TS2 development environment for the relevant fields.
Change the fields' names to:
Street
City
State
Zip
Country

6) Edit script

Copy and paste the script hereunder in the edit box.

Code: Select all

if (window.LRSV)
{
   var callBackFunction = function(result)
   {
   var url = "http://www.google.com/maps/dir/" + 
   result.userInfo.LATITUDE + "," + 
   result.userInfo.LONGITUDE + "/+" + 
   FIELDS("Street").getValue().replace(" ","+") + ",+" + 
   FIELDS("City").getValue().replace(" ","+") + ",+" + 
   FIELDS("State").getValue().replace(" ","+") + ",+" + 
   FIELDS("Country").getValue().replace(" ","+");
   window.open( url );
};
var options =
{
callBack : callBackFunction
};
LRSV.getGeolocation( options );
}
7) You should now have a button on your screen which looks like this:
