I have the following function on a client side event for
when a button in the detail view of a webdatawindow is
clicked. This works fine, but is not much use.

function WebDataWindowControl1_Clicked(sender, rowNumber,   
objectName)
    {
            if(objectName=="b_call")
            {

                confirm("You clicked the " + objectName +   
        " column in row " + rowNumber)
        }
    }

What I want to do is add some data to the confirm message.
From the example I have seen on code exchange I should be
able to add the following

var sname
sname= WebDataWindowControl1.GetItem(rowNumber,"FamilyName")

and then use the string in the confirm box.

When the function is called I get the error

'Object doesn't support this property or method'

So the question is how do I access data from a client side
event handler?

I am using DataWindow.NET 2.5, and Visual Studio 2005.

ALan

is it

dwControl.GetItemString(RowNumber,ColumnName)

No, that produces the same error.

That is correct for server side coding in c#. The client
side equivalent for javascript is just GetItem, according to
the documentation.

Thanks anyway.

Check this :

Set ClientScriptable to true.

ClientScriptable
property in the Properties window or in DataWindow Designer must be set to
true?the default is false. If this property is not set, you receive the=20

Thanks, the only problem I have now with it is having to use
column numbers in the GetItem calls, not the column names. I
assume there is another parameter that needs setting but I
cannot find it.  This would be easier but its is a minor
problem.

Perhaps you can help with another error message. I have done
the same thing you suggested on another datawindow. When the
script

 var fname=sender.GetItem(rowNumber,4)

I get the error message

'this.rows' is null or not an object.

Column 4 exists in the dataset, and has valid data in it

Check Programmer's Guide :

returnvalue objdwcontrol.GetItem (number row, number column )
returnvalue objdwcontrol.GetItem (number row, string column )

works fine when I use a number for the column, but not when
I use the column name in the string version.

Did you use CamelCase for the column's name? 
Try 'columname' instead of 'ColumName'.

I used the same case as that generated by the datawindow,
but I will try lower case tomorrow.

That works great now. Thanks
