Hi @TDT 

getDataValue returns an object named Component that is shown in the UI tables, attributes etc. generally in MVC Wizards and detail page tables.

Component object can be Label, Icon, CheckBox, ComboBox, TextArea etc...

but Google Web Toolkit can use just String that is plainDataValue.

So getPlainDataValue is used in the GWT tables and sub tabs as a CAD Structure WTPart structure and MPMLink structure.

 

GWT environment always use the getPlainDataValue method instead of the getDataValue

    There has to be a work around for this in PSB.  We have WPA Process Adapter installed, and it shows icons.  Also there are two columns we have added to custom views for Change Notices and Alternates that both show icons.

    Hi @SE_4597606 

    No there is not.

     

    You can try to recompile the Google Web Toolkit package try to find configuration how the API are connected together, then customize it with own code if you found how to do so, then compile it back and try if it works.

     

    Believe me you don't have time to do so.
