    Question Grab entire array at once?

    Is there a quick way to grab all the elements of an array? I'm thinking of something using pointers, but not having to walk the node tree. I was guessing that, since the SQLW for extent vars is the length of all the extents put together, they are all stored sequentially at the same memory...

    Combo Box Value does not refresh

    Stefan - Thanks for jogging my memory! Your solution was on the tip of my brain, but I was stuck on other approaches. Here's my take (with comment overkill): PROCEDURE p-Display-Fields : DO WITH FRAME {&FRAME-NAME}: /* Clear Combo Box Choices */ ASSIGN...

    Combo Box Value does not refresh

    I have gotten used to the flavour of this BUG over the years, so It rankles me to be told to suck it up and just put some salt on it. Displaying the value from another record is wrong. Not having a choice in this behavior is wrong. Simple! So, to steer things back to useful discussion...

    Combo Box Value does not refresh

    Any better way to deal with this after all these years? Can't just do a "DISP ? @ <dbfield-name>" because @ is only allowed for fill-ins and text-widgets. Is there any way to clear the data, refresh the widget, or do some other thing to get a blank when a database value is blank and not just...

    Hide Tabs in a SmartFolder?

    I am barely hanging in this conversation, because of the my SmartObject newb-ness. Things like knowing whether or not decisions make sense in SmartObject world are beyond me at this juncture. However, in January, you helped someone with a similar question (which I just found)...

    Hide Tabs in a SmartFolder?

    We're 10.1C here, so ADM2. Didn't think the version would make a difference in any suggestions. Basically, building a remote version in Progress of a screen in another system. We really don't use tabs in our current system, so there is not much to imitate and implementation is wide open...

    Hide Tabs in a SmartFolder?

    I would like to have a combobox that selects which tabs are displayed. Possible? Multiple page sources don't seem to be possible. Are there multiple ways to crack this nut? I'm a SmartObject newb, so take it easy on me.

    ENTRY to Field in Dynamic Browse

    Excellent! Somehow, I didn't stumble upon applying ENTRY directly to the ColumnHandle. Here's a portion of my 'DEFAULT-ACTION' trigger to enable editing on the browse: /* Highlight the column you clicked */ DO v-index = 1 TO BrowseHandle:NUM-COLUMNS: ASSIGN ColumnHandle =...

    ENTRY to Field in Dynamic Browse

    In a nutshell, my goal is to apply ENTRY to the field the user double-clicked on (activating the dynamic editable browse). However, I can’t seem to change the column manually at all. The field selected is always in the column last selected when the browse was active. I have multiple...

    Layout change?

    5 days later... search is still useless. And if I can't search on this site, it is basically useless to me. You must understand how important this is for the site. You have run a board for years and should know how to rebuild search. Please block out a minute of your schedule and start the...

    Layout change?

    Search needs an index rebuild. Also, I didn't have my login information yesterday, and I could not find anything resembling a Lost Password link. Maybe some of you could logout and try to find it, or perhaps it's disabled.

    Status Bar Text and Incomplete Answers

    I also host such a forum. Although, mine is for discussion and not really used for looking up "answers". Still, if I didn't prune the hedges, nobody would. Otherwise, you can change low maintenance to no maintenance. And there is a big difference between the two.

    Status Bar Text and Incomplete Answers

    I already have some plans for starting some discussions to specifically help the beginning to mid-level programmer, so don't waste your snark on me. And I've already asked forum admin to delete this thread as being un-useful. Maybe I need to report my own post to get them to notice it...

    Status Bar Text and Incomplete Answers

    Look, you don't know me and you're not going to know me. If you don't like how I "come off" and don't have the patience to carefully read a long post, I can't really help that. I had a weird situation yesterday, but I've been meaning to post my displeasure with using ProgressTalk as a...

    Status Bar Text and Incomplete Answers

    Did you ever have one of those days where you keep hitting an error and it goes away the moment you try to show it to someone else? I am very positive I didn't hallucinate this entire morning's events. However, you are right in that only the Status Default lines are needed in the trigger. I...

    Status Bar Text and Incomplete Answers

    Well, in the interest of making the world a better place, I am posting my workaround to the Help / Status issue. The Help message on the "run report" button wasn't really critical, but I still wanted the "running report..." message if validation was OK. So, I took the Help attribute off of...

    Status Bar Text and Incomplete Answers

    Ah, the old "volunteers = kittens, so be nice to them" argument. Look, it's a big board, but this forum is important. It only gets a couple of new posts per day, which is very manageable to moderate for quality (if that should become a priority). Plus, the usual suspects of progress gurus...

    Status Bar Text and Incomplete Answers

    I have a specific question tied to a more general question. A button runs a report. The HELP attribute on that button tells users what will happen when you hit the button (if they tabbed to it). I want my ON CHOOSE OF trigger to do some validation, change the status bar message to "Running...

    Scrollbar on browsers?

    I don't think it's all that bad. You have to get into the 20,000 records and up range before it starts to take more than one or two seconds. Anyway, it's a nice tool to have for certain situations. Kind of like a sledgehammer. ;) EDIT - OK, tried out PRESELECT and it works like a charm...
