Question

Displaying the input values of a text box in a form

0

Hi, I am new to Mendix, and trying to get hands on. I have a requirement in which, I capture the user login name and password in a form. I have used a dataview for this and connected this dataview to a Entity (which stores the username and password). Once the user enters this information and click the 'Login' button, I have a Microflow, which takes the user to the next screen, where the message must be displayed as - 'Welcome <loginname>!!!" Is there a way, by which this could be achieved?

Pradeep,

I think you can use two of the widgets from the app store. For logging in use the login form widget that can be added to a dataview and then on the page used as the home page use the login button widget to display the user name and add a label in front with the word 'Welcome'.

The widget "Logged in User" ( available in the App store) should be able to do this for you.

The Login Button widget seems to be an old one, not updated since a long time.

It returns an error: No constructor found for widget LoginButton.widget.LoginButton
