CODEBASE-LOCATOR system handle

(Windows only; Graphical interfaces only)
A handle to the CODEBASE-LOCATOR object. A CODEBASE-LOCATOR object specifies the location and authentication information for a client application's codebase (that is, an application's files) stored on an AppServer or a web server. This object allows the WebClient to access application files for download. It also allows WebClient and the client application to share authentication information.
Note: Does not apply to SpeedScript programming.

Notes

*The CODEBASE-LOCATOR handle applies only to WebClient.
*The following attributes represent the security cache: APPSERVER-INFO, APPSERVER-PASSWORD, APPSERVER-USERID, URL-PASSWORD, URL-USERID, and KEEP-SECURITY-CACHE. These attributes are readable and writable.
*WebClient sets the following read-only attributes based on values stored in the application configuration (.ProwcApp) file: END-USER-PROMPT, KEEP-CONNECTION-OPEN, LOCATOR-TYPE, NEEDS-APPSERVER-PROMPT, NEEDS-PROMPT, PERSISTENT-CACHE-DISABLED, and URL.
*Valid URL protocols depend on the LOCATOR-TYPE. If LOCATOR-TYPE is "AppServer", valid URL protocols include: HTTP, HTTPS, and AppServer. If LOCATOR-TYPE is "InternetServer", valid URL protocols include: HTTP, HTTPS, and FILE.
*The TYPE attribute returns the widget type, PSEUDO-WIDGET.
