Hello Giten!

Welcome to Visual WebGui!

You have to use the AspPageBox with ASP.NET instead of the HtmlBox with HTML.

Please follow these steps:

1. Have your ASP.NET application's Page derive not from System.Web.UI.Page, but from Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Hosts.AspPageBase . This type is a derivative of the ASP.NET Page class and is required for the purpose of allowing step 2.

2. On Page Load event create a JavaScript variable called "mintMyVwgGuid" and set it's value to the value of the Page's PageContext.Guid property.

3. Create a new JavaScript function on the Page called RaiseVwgReadHtmlInputEvent. In this function add this code:
    var strHiddenInputValue = code to read value...
    var objEvent = Events_CreateEvent(mintMyVwgGuid, "VwgReadHtmlInput", null, true);
    Events_SetEventAttribute(objEvent, strHiddenInputValue, mintMyVwgGuid);
    Events_RaiseEvents();

    You may need to call the obove functions using window.top.functionname

4. On your VWG Form override the FireEvent and add this code to it:
    // Select event type
    switch (objEvent.Type)
    {
        case "VwgReadHtmlInput":
            OnVwgReadHtmlInput();
            break;
    }
    base.FireEvent(objEvent);

5. Implement the OnVwgReadHtmlInput method to handle receiving the value of the specific hidden input.

Ori, I finally found the PageContext.Guid property by inheriting my page from Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Hosts.AspPageBase (not from Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Hosts.AspPipeLinePage). Now then problem is than my script fails when trying to create the event here:

var objEvent = Events_CreateEvent(mintGuid, "VwgReadHtmlInput", null, true);

It seems the the Events_CreateEvent function cannot be found.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much.

Giten.
