No, I already have that setting turned on.

Please note that when I use the Guests tab and use the "Export" button, the PDFs properly load into another tab. This issue only occurs using the browse hyperlinks.

I debugged the case when clicking on the first column with room numbers. The web client follows this way

            if (url != null)
            {
               var fetch;
               if (helperApplications && helperApplications["fetch"] && !!mimeType) 
               {
                  fetch = helperApplications["fetch"].filter(
                        function(element)
                        {
                           return element.toLowerCase() == mimeType.toLowerCase();
                        }).length > 0;
               }
               p2j.openMimeResource(url, mimeType, !fetch);
            }

   function openNewWindow(url)
   {
      var newWindow;

      try
      {
         newWindow = window.open(url, "_blank");
      }
      catch(ex)
      {
         console.error(ex);
      }

      if (newWindow && !newWindow.closed)
      {
         return newWindow;
      }

      return null;
   }

          <node class="container" name="helper-applications">
            <node class="entry" name="entry1">
              <node-attribute name="key" value="fetch"/>
              <node-attribute name="value" value="application/pdf"/>
            </node>
            <node class="entry" name="entry2">
              <node-attribute name="key" value="window.open"/>
              <node-attribute name="value" value="application/pdf,text/plain"/>
            </node>
          </node>

It's very-very late for me, so I'll take a look into it tomorrow. I checked that clicking hyperlinks should create a file and then run

PROCEDURE printFile EXTERNAL "xPrint.dll" PERSISTENT :
    DEF INPUT PARAMETER A AS CHAR.
END.

Not sure how this is supposed to work.

This call should be converted to:

...
         XprHelper.printPdf(xprName);
...

The source usage is (abl/guest-frame.w):

PROCEDURE guest-invoice-xprint :
...
  RUN printFile (xprName).
...

This is the case when we port win32 native library calls to Java using XprHelper class.

And the problem here is not in HYPERLINK implementation. It works and properly calls procedure xprint-guest:

...
PROCEDURE xprint-guest :
/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Purpose:     
  Parameters:  <none>
  Notes:       
------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
  def input param xguest-full-name as char.

  for each xrpt-stay where xrpt-stay.checked-out = false no-lock,
      each xrpt-room of xrpt-stay no-lock,
      each xrpt-room-type of xrpt-room no-lock,
      each xrpt-guest of xrpt-stay where (xrpt-guest.first-name + " " + xrpt-guest.last-name) = xguest-full-name and xrpt-guest.order = 1 no-lock:
    run guest-invoice-xprint.
  end.

  release xrpt-stay.
  release xrpt-room.
  release xrpt-room-type.
  release xrpt-guest.
END PROCEDURE.
...

The problem here is the for each ... conditions set is never matching, so the guest-invoice-xprint is never calling for any guest record.

Probably there are no guests in this hotel staying at current time?

The first column, the room number, has a hyper link. Clicking on this link should open reports in new window popups but actually pdf reports are downloaded. These new window popups are blocked by the browser. So the Press Enter dialog is opened in order to open new window on this user action. It still work but there are issues with custom ModalDialog dialog triggers p2j.createOpenPopupDialog and modality itself if the same dialog is already opened. This logic I added at some moment in the past and it will be fixed in #10915.

The large customer project has special helper application settings in the directory that can switch to use fetch method to eliminate custom modal dialogs

          <node class="container" name="helper-applications">
            <node class="entry" name="entry1">
              <node-attribute name="key" value="fetch"/>
              <node-attribute name="value" value="application/pdf,text/plain"/>
            </node>
          </node>

Please try these settings in the directory under clientConfig node.

This will not work. Because as I noted in #10914-8 the MIME document is not even generated. So nothing to fetch into browser.

I observed that mouse dragging does not move the thumb of the vertical scroll bar on this Guest screen in the embedded mode but left mouse clicking on the vertical scroll bar moves its thumb. I do not know this is expected or not but just reported here.

Eugenie, I meant when clicking on the first column hyper link of Guests but the second column hyper link does not work. Please look at this video 10914-2025-11-22_13.57.05.mkv.

Yes, agreed, for first column your approach should work.

For a mouse click I counted up to six MSG_OPEN_MIME_RESOURCE messages that hold the same content but with different urls :)

1. I don't have problems clicking on the first column - clicking on a room number produces multiple PDFs to download.
2. As Sergey mentioned in #10914-8, no reaction when clicking on the second column is a data issue. Or a persistence issue, I'm checking it.
3. I don't have the issue "mouse dragging does not move the thumb of the vertical scroll bar" Sergey mentioned in #10914-12.

Not sure how I can help, except figuring out why clicking on the second column doesn't work.

Stanislav, did you mean that it is expected that multiple PDFs (the same PDF file) files should be downloaded?

2. I don't have the issue "mouse dragging does not move the thumb of the vertical scroll bar" Sergey mentioned in #10914-12.

This is not an issue because the thumb can be moved as soon it becomes highlighted. Thus, it is not an issue for me too.

Stanislav, did you mean that it is expected that multiple PDFs (the same PDF file) files should be downloaded?

Yes, several "Customer Invoices" for each room:

for each xrpt-stay ...:
   run guest-invoice-xprint.
end.

Sorry, I meant so these MSG_OPEN_MIME_RESOURCE messages come asynchronously.
