Download a file

Hello everyone
Xojo

Thanks for your help
I have added a WebImageView in a webpage, to which the MouseDown event has been added with the following code:

Dim url as string = “d: /informe1.pdf”
Session.ShowURL (url, false)

What I need when clicking a WebImageView click is to download a pdf file located on my local hard drive (I do not have a server to test)

I have not been successful

Any idea, I’m making my first web application

Cordially,

Raul

You have to load the PDF document into a WebFile and then send that to the user.

Note: Make sure the Webfile is a property of the webpage or app class to keep it alive until the file has been sent. Otherwise it will be out of scope before the download has even started.
