Example

This example uses the getCurrentUser function to read the user name, and then uses the rename function to rename a label. For more information about the rename function, see rename on page 173.

The label is defined in the .grid file as follows:

<labelheight="49" id="Welcome Label" left="136" name="Welcome" style="txt-align:west;" top="275" width="188"/>


 

The script to read the user name and then rename the label is as follows:

//read the login user name

var loginName= ogscript.getCurrentUser();

 

//display the user name in the Welcomelabel var message = 'Welcome ' + loginName; ogscript.rename('Welcome Label',message);
