Core function
Syntax
OpenURI( uri )
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| uri | The URI resource to be opened. Can be a string, e.g. "vt://browser?type=Jobs&id=1", or an object representing individual URI components as the key/value pairs, e.g. |
Description
OpenURI opens external (outside of Virtual Ticket) or internal (within Virtual Ticket) resource identified by a URI passed in the uri argument.
The list of supported external URI schemes is platform- and machine-specific, but generally at least the following schemes/protocols are supported: http:, mailto:, file:.
The vt: URI scheme designates an internal Virtual Ticket URI, which can refer to any internal application resource, such as a specific window, a document or other object opened in a specific window, etc. All internal URIs have the following common syntax structure:
<internal-uri> ::= <base-URI>["?"<query>]["#"<fragment>]
<base-URI> ::= "vt://"<internal-resource>
<query> ::= <key>"="<value>("&"<key>"="<value>)*
<internal-resource> ::= <percent-encoded-string>
<key> ::= <percent-encoded-string>
<value> ::= <percent-encoded-string>
<fragment> ::= <percent-encoded-string>
The following table lists all Virtual Ticket resources currently accessible through OpenURI calls:
| Resource | baseURI |
|---|---|
| Browser Window | vt://browser |
| Find Window | vt://find |
| History Window | vt://history |
| Custom Query | vt://custom_query |
| Form Editor | vt://form_editor |
| Library Import | vt://administration/library_import |
| Library Export | vt://administration/library_export |
Examples
Example 1: Opening a new Browser window in Virtual Ticket
Example 2: Opening a document in a new Browser window
Example 3: Opening a document in the same Browser window
Example 4: Opening a document in a new Browser window using a specific form
Example 5: Opening external URIs
