case insensitive comparison and IA variables

[psreeky]

I'd appreciate if someone can answer my questions.

1) Can I do compare variables with case insensitive option in InstallAnywhere 2009 version?

2) If I create a property value, as a result of some operation, from ant script to InstallAnywhere variable? In other words, can an ant script property be used as an InstallAnywhere variable?

Thanks in advance.

You can accomplish what you want using Java and extending CustomCodePanel, taking advantage of the CustomCodePanel proxy. I ended up doing something very similar using eclipse and the visual editor following this document:
http://www.acresso.com/webdocuments/PDF/ia_create_cust_code_panel_eclipse.pdf

In short you need to extend CustomCodePanel then override the methods as stated in the document. Then you can use the proxy to get/set variables from InstallAnywhere. And you can use Java's .equalsIgnoreCase to validate case insensitive.

Hope this helps.

Hi!

Thanks for the tip. I was not sure if there was any built-in way that I was missing in the documentation.
I cannot believe that there is no default option to do a case-insensitive comparison.
Anyhow, I had to write custom java code to accomplish this after trying for a day.

-Thx.
