Page Sets; HTML Panel enhancements

HTML Panel type Page Objects have been enhanced with a new 'ShowBorder' property.

In addition, a new GetIconAsPngBase64String method has been added to finUtilities to get a finPOWER Connect icon as a base-64 encoded PNG string for inclusion in HTML.

The following code sample demonstrates this function within a Page Set with a Page Object named htmlPanel1:

Public Overrides Function Initialise() As Boolean

  ' Assume Success
  Initialise = True

  ' Initialise
  mReports = DirectCast(psh.Reports, ISfinReports)
  mUI = DirectCast(psh.UserInterface, ISUserInterfaceBL)

  ' Set HTML
  htmlPanel1_Refresh()

End Function

Private Sub htmlPanel1_Refresh()

  Dim sb As StringBuilder

  ' Initialise
  sb = New StringBuilder()

  ' Create HTML
  ' NOTE: CSS can be used to set background to Windows system colours (http://webdesign.about.com/od/colorcharts/l/blsystemcolors.htm)
  sb.AppendLine("<!DOCTYPE html>")
  sb.AppendLine("<html style='overflow:hidden'>")
  sb.AppendLine("<body style='padding:0; margin:0; background-color:ButtonFace'>")

  sb.Append("<table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>")
  sb.Append("<tr>")
  sb.Append("<td style='padding-right:8px'>")
  sb.Append("<img src='data:image/gif;base64," & finBL.Utilities.GetIconAsPngBase64String("Account", 32, "Warning") & "' width='32' height='32'/>")
  sb.Append("</td>")
  sb.Append("<td>")
  sb.Append("<div style='font:16pt Segoe UI; font-weight:bold; color:#3399FF'>My Heading</div>")
  sb.Append("<div style='font:9pt Segoe UI'>Other text below the heading</div>")
  sb.Append("</td>")
  sb.Append("</tr>")
  sb.Append("</table>")

  sb.AppendLine("</body>")
  sb.AppendLine("</html>")

  ' Update HTML
  htmlPanel1.Text = sb.ToString()

End Sub
