Produces a "beep" sound; commonly used to indicate an error or warning dialog.

Close all visible windows (except main application window). Returns true if operation was successful.

Closes the currently open solution and optionally opens another solution, calling a specified global method with the specified arguments.
If the user has been logged in, this function keeps the user logged in and in the newly open solution, the login is skipped and the solution goes straight to the first form.
If you want to go to a different url, you need to call application.showURL(url) before calling application.closeSolution() (this is only applicable for Web Client).
An alternative option is security.logout() which also does a log out for the user (for solutions that require authentication).

Create a new form instance.

Creates a new window that can be used for displaying forms. Initially the window is not visible.
If there is already a window with the given name, it will be closed and destroyed prior to creating the new window.
Use the form controller show() and showRecords() methods in order to show a form in this window.

Stop and exit application.

This generates a browser function for the given function string that can be executed in the browser
The resulting object can be assigned into a config/property object that is then assigned to a component
The component will receive this function as a real function object.

This is a more dynamic variant of the spec property "clientfunction" https://wiki.servoy.com/display/DOCS/Property+Types

Get the active user count on the server (can be limited to current solution).

This gets the currently focused active window; this can be the main application window or a modal dialog.
For a webclient getWindow() can return the main window that is not really the main for the current tab in the browser
that can return the previous tab that a user could have opened. For this method is better suited because this
will give you the actual tab in the browser. Another call would be form.controller.getWindow() of a form that you know in which window it resides.

Get the application type.

Gets the count for all clients displaying the same additional information
in the Clients page of Servoy Server Administration Console.

Sets a UI property.

Gets a string from the clipboard, null if not a string or empty.

Gets the name of the current Look And Feel specified in Application Preferences.

Get the name of the localhost.

Get the clients' IP address.

Get the names of the used client licenses (as strings in array).

Get a JSLogger instance which offers an API for logging with arguments.
Available logging levels are (in order): fatal, error, warn, info, debug and trace.
If no loggerName is given to this method, it returns the default logger (LoggerFactory.getLogger(Debug.class))
NOTE: the default logging level of the the default logger is 'warn', so info, debug and trace events are not logged.

Get a JSLogger instance which offers an API for logging with arguments.
Available logging levels are (in order): fatal, error, warn, info, debug and trace.
The argument should be the name of a logger that is configured in myServoyInstallationDir/application_server/log4j.xml.
A new logger can be configured in log4j.xml by adding the following line:
<Logger name="myLogger" level="INFO"/>

Get the media url that can be used to server a media in NGClient.

Returns the name of the operating system of the client.
In Smart Client this will return os.name system property. In Web/NG Client will return "OSFamily majorVersion.minorVersion".

Get all the printer names in an array.

Get the screen height in pixels.

Get the screen width in pixels.

Returns a date object initialized on server with current date and time.
For NG and web clients this is the same as new Date() in scripting.

Gets the HTTP server url.

This url will end with a / so don't append to this server url something that starts with a / again
because RFC 3986 says that the path of a url (the part after the domain[:poort]) can not start with 2 slashes.

Get the uuid from this server instance (the same value that is shown on the admin page)

Returns the name of the current solution.

Get the solution release number.

Get the parameters which are provided by startup.
It returns an array with 2 elements, a string that is the startup argument and a map containing all named startup arguments, or
null if there is no argument passed

Returns a date object initialized in client with current date and time.
This should be used instead of new Date() for webclients when the clients are in different times zones then the server.
Then this call will really return a time that is the locals webclients time.
For NG clients this is only useful when displaying on the client using format property (Use local time), and then
this is equivalent to new Date() on the client side, so basically this can be used to pre-fill with 'now' such a display.

Get a new UUID object (also known as GUID) or convert the parameter (that can be string or byte array) to an UUID object. A table column marked as UUID will work with such objects.

Get a new UUID object (also known as GUID) or convert the parameter (that can be string or byte array) to an UUID object. A table column marked as UUID will work with such objects.

Get a persistent user property.

In NGClient this is stored in the locale storage of the browser, so it will be persisted over restarts as long as the user didn't clear the data.

Get all persistent user property names.

Retrieve a valuelist as array, to get real-values for display-values.
NOTE: this doesn't return a value for a valuelist that depends on a database relation or is a global method valuelist.

Retrieve a valuelist display-value for a real-value.
NOTE: this doesn't return a value for a valuelist that depends on a database relation or is a global method valuelist.

Get all values from a custom or database type value list as dataset (with columns displayValue,realValue).
NOTE: this doesn't return a value for a valuelist that depends on a database relation or is a global method valuelist.

Get all the valuelist names as array.

Returns the application version.

Get the full version information of this solution and all its modules.
This will return an object that is a map of Name(Sting)->Version(String) of the solution and all its modules.

Get the main application window. This is the window that is created first for this client.

In a smart client this is always just the first started window where the solution is loaded in.
In a webclient the user may open the same solution in a new tab in the same browser. In that case the main solution
window will always be the first opened tab, even if that one was already closed.
application.getActiveWindow() will always return the currently active/focused window or dialog.
If you need the window of the current top-level form, controller.getWindow() of that form will
always return the correct window.

Get a window by window name. When not supplying a name, the main application window is grabbed.

Returns true if the solution is running in the developer.

Check if the last printpreview did print.

Output something on the out stream. (if running in debugger view output console tab)

Output something on the out stream. (if running in debugger view output console tab)

Overrides one style with another. In NGClient, it overrides the original stylesheet media defined on a solution with another media.

Play a sound (AU file, an AIFF file, a WAV file, and a MIDI file).

Sets a UI property.

Redo last action (if possible).

Refresh a global method valuelist by forcing it to call the global method. The element which has the valuelist must be provided.
If there is no propertyName specified, the element must have only one valuelist property.

Refresh a global method valuelist by forcing it to call the global method. The element which has the valuelist must be provided.
The valuelist is searched under provided property from the spec - for usage in NGClient custom components.

Removes all names given to the client via the admin page.

Removes a string of client information which is stored on the server and
previously was added using the application.addClientInfo('client info')

This function can be called more than once, if you want to delete multiple
lines of client information.

Sets a string object in the clipboard.

Set if numpad enter should behave like focus next.

Set the status area value.

Set the status area value.

NOTE: Most modern browsers do not support status bar and status text anymore. This method sets status property of the window using javascript.

Make a toolbar visible or invisible.

Sets a user property for this client: 
In NGClient this is stored in the locale storage of the browser, so it will be persisted over restarts as long as the user didn't clear the data.

For headless clients(including Batch Processors and Authentication clients) the user property is stored in memory and will be lost upon client restart.

For Web Client the user property will be stored in a persistent cookie

For Smart Client it will be stored in a properties file on the client machine.
