JMP Application Messages

This section contains JSL messages that apply to the JMP Application Builder and the JMP Dashboard Builder. Both of these applications use the same infrastructure to design and execute applications and dashboards. Because a dashboard is a special form of an application, this section uses the term application to describe how both dashboard and application objects use scripting.

See Creating Applications in the Scripting Guide for more information about Application Builder.

See the Scripting Index in the JMP Help menu for examples.

JMP App Messages

The JMP App object is the main controller for JMP applications built by Application Builder or Dashboard Builder. Scripts both inside and outside of a JMP application can use a JMP App object.

A JMP application can have one of three states: initial (with no editor, and the application is not running), running, or editing. A JMP App object only exists in one state at a time; if you are editing a JMP Application and choose to run it, a copy of the JMP application is created before it is run.

app<<Combine Windows({reports or data tables})

Description

Combines the given list of platform reports or data tables into a new module. The application should be in the initial state when this message is sent.

app<<Debug

Invokes the JSL Debugger on a JMP application. The application script will run first. The Debugger then breaks as each module is created, invoking the module scripts. In the Debugger, set breakpoints to debug the scripts that are associated with the application or modules.

app<<Edit

Starts Application Builder on a JMP application that is in the initial state. There is no editor, and the application is not running.

app<<Get Modules

Gets the list of modules associated with an application. In Application Builder, each module corresponds to a tab in the workspace, which describes the layout and behavior for one type of window in the application.

app<<Get Namespace

The JMP App() object automatically creates an anonymous namespace for the variables created within the application script. Use this message to get a handle to this namespace to inspect or modify variables. There is a default symbol in this namespace called thisApplication, which holds a reference to the application itself.

app<<Get Windows

Gets a list of all windows created as instances of JMP app modules. Some modules might create more than one instance. All windows might not exist at the same time, so the number of windows might vary and might differ from the number of modules.

app<<Open File(path)

Resets the state of an existing application from a the .jmpapp or .jmappsource file. path is quoted.

app<<Relaunch Analysis

Creates a new copy of a running application and runs the new instance.

app<<Run

Runs the application. The application script runs first, and depending on settings, one or more JMP app module instance objects might be created automatically.

app<<Save Script to Add-In

app<<Save Script to Data Table

app<<Save Script to Journal

app<<Save Script to Script Window

Saves the script for the application to the given destination. An application script consists of a JMP App() object that contains the definition for the application. Scripts saved to an add-in, data table, or journal include a Run message to run the application. A script saved to the script window includes an Edit message to open Application Builder.

JMP App Module Messages

A JMP application module is a definition of the display box layout and behavior for a single component in a JMP application or dashboard. Depending on the module type, the component might represent a window in the application or just part of a window.

module<<Create Instance

Use Create Instance within a JMP App() or JMP App Module() script to create an instance of a JMP app module. By default, one instance of each JMP application module is created when an application is run. For more complex applications with multiple windows, such as a launcher and report combination, it might be necessary to change the default settings and control how the module instance is created.

module<<Get Instance

Returns a handle to the application that owns a module.

JMP App Module Instance Messages

The JMP application module instance is a running realization of a JMP app module, a window on the screen, or a collection of display box elements that can be inserted into another window.

inst<<Create Objects

Appears in the default template for a JMP app module script. This message controls the point at which the display and window for a module instance are created. The message appears in the script so that the script writer can choose to do certain setup before the objects are created. One example of this setup is for a parameterized application.

inst<<Get Box

Returns a handle to the top-most display box associated with a module instance. This might be useful to issue display or window commands, such as the Save to PDF or Close Window messages.

inst<<Get Namespace

Like JMP App(), each JMP application module instance also creates an anonymous namespace for all variables created in the module script. The namespace also includes all the variables that represent the display boxes in the module. This namespace contains a default symbol named thisModuleInstance that refers to itself.

inst<<Get User Data

inst<<Set User Data

Stores and retrieves a JSL value in the JMP application module instance. The value could be a number, quoted string, list, associative array, or other JSL type that is returned with the Type() function.
