Title: Adding locator not working
Post by: Ubaidullah on May 09, 2010, 01:43:57 PM

Hi all,

I opened up the example app 'ParentChildBrowse (25)'
In 'BrowseCustomers', NetWebBrowse settings, Locators tab,
I set 'Locator Position' to 'Below Browse'
'Locator Type' set to 'Contains'
In the Options tab, set 'Records per page' to 5.

Compiled and ran.

Now when I access the BrowseCustomers page (http://localhost:88/BrowseCustomers), I don't see any locator. I have refreshed the page many times but still nothing.

Nettalk Build 4.49
Clarion 6.3 Build 9052

Please advise me on what I am missing.

Thanks & Regards,
Ubaidullah Nubar.

Hi UN,

Very good question, because it's one that comes up from time to time.

What's missing is a default sort order for the browse. In other words, when you open the browse, none of the visible columns are actually the current sort order. If you click on a column header, and hence set a sort order, then the locator appears.

It's a good idea therefore for you to set a browse column to be the default sort column - which can be done on the "sort" tab for a browse column in the properties.

cheers
Bruce
