Web Server - Ask For Help / problem with browses
« on: November 11, 2016, 02:31:54 PM »
This has been a problem for me forever - I have many browses on forms, very normal.
Out of the blue, a browse will no longer scroll down via the next and last button. When the browse first displays, the first and previous buttons are disabled, as expected, and the next and last buttons are enabled. But the next and last button do not do anything - cannot get to the next page on the browse or the end of the browse.
This has happened to me on totally unrelated browses - they are all on forms but that may be a coincidance.
The only way to fix this is to either recreate the browse procedure from scratch or to copy the browse and use a new procedure name for the copy. The copy will then work fine - but then a month or a year later, the same problem returns - I cannot see what I may be doing to cause this - really no rhyme or reason.
An example is not possible - just looking for a possible cause - it may be a bug in the NetTalk templates but there is no way I could recreate the problem on demand.

Bruce,
I can only make this happen in my app so an example will not help. I can show you in the app, if necessary.

Web Server - Ask For Help / alert message will not display
« on: October 23, 2016, 09:24:34 AM »
I have a simple table form that has a bunch of validation code in the "Validate All" embed. If something is wrong with some of the form data I manually set alert as follows:
loc:alert = 'my message here'
loc:invalid = 'field:name'
The problem is that when I create an alert message as above, and the save button is clicked, the web page will darken a bit and go modal, but the actual alert popup does not display - so the user cannot tell what the actual alert message is.
The the very strange thing is that this works when the form is called from one place in my app but not another place. The form is a popup.
Any ideas?

Web Server - Ask For Help / browse auto-refresh timer bug
« on: August 13, 2015, 08:31:41 AM »
Bruce,
Per your request to my question on the 08/13/2015 NetTalk webinar:
I have a popup memory form on which there is a browse procedure. The browse is set to automatically refresh via a timer every 5 seconds. The problem is that when the form is closed, the timer is still active in the browser and stays active on all windows under the popup until I do a page refresh. You indicated that this is a bug and you would be utterly delighted to fix it.
Thanks,
Chuck

I have a form that I want to have a timer on and then be able to run code in the equivalent of Event:Timer. Is this doable? And if so, could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Chuck

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: browse column will not refresh
« on: December 13, 2014, 06:41:33 AM »
Bruce,
I think I will have to bite the bullet and create an auto numbered primary key for my table. The problem here is because this is PostgreSQL I cannot use SetIfNew = AutoNumber to let FM3 populate the new auto-numbered field - the FM3 docs says SetIfNew = AutoNumber does not work in SQL. All of my other tables that already have an auto-numbered primary key have a sequence set in Postgres so I will have to figure out how to create the SQL sequence for a table that is not be created but updated with a new field.

Terry,
I am well aware of the inadvisability of changing primary keys - but in this instance it is not doable. This is a very old table in the database. Doing a refresh on the whole browse after edit is not a good solution because the edited record looses its highlight when the browse resets. I am hoping there is a way to refresh the primary key field after edit. Thanks for the response.

Web Server - Ask For Help / browse column will not refresh
« on: December 06, 2014, 02:51:27 PM »
I have a wizard generated NetWeb browse and form. The primary key is a single String(30) key and this field is displayed on the browse. The primary key field can be edited on the form. If I change the value of the primary key field in the form it will not refresh on the browse and the value displayed shows the original value. All of the other fields in the form that are displayed on the browse will refresh properly on the browse when the form is edited. The primary key field is being changed in the database but not refreshed on the browse so when I attempt to edit the same record again just after having changed the primary key field I get a record access error. If I refresh the entire browse by going to Last or First then the new value is displayed.

Parker,
Thanks, that worked fine.
Now maybe Bruce can chime in on why drag and drop does not work.

Web Server - Ask For Help / calendar questions
« on: October 18, 2013, 05:40:10 AM »
NT 7.20 C8 9661
I am adding an appointment calendar to my app and using the Hotdates(12) example as a guide.
With the procedure HorizontalWeekPlanner - the drag and drop option is checked but drag and drop does not work - is this feature not yet available?
Also with the HorizontalWeekPlanner procedure - can the column header for the calendar be changed? The example shows the calendar date as "19 Jan" and I would like to also add the day of the week but I cannot find anywhere in the properties to change this.

Web Server - Ask For Help / barcode scanning
« on: October 16, 2013, 07:50:56 AM »
Bruce,
A few months ago I asked you about using a mobile device's camera as a barcode scanner. I have created native Android apps that use Zebra Crossing's barcode scanner to take control of the camera and scan barcodes. This works great - and Zebra Crossing has a method to allow a browser to do this.
Have you given any more thought to this?

Web Server - Ask For Help / form question
« on: October 09, 2013, 06:33:20 AM »
I have a button on a memory form that calls a table form. The unique key field session value for the table form (the called form) is set in the first memory form. My question is where in the table form (the called form) do I set the key field value and get the record?
Or would it be better to set the value of the key field in the URL for the called form? If I am calling the form from drop list of the "OnClick" tab of the button how would I use the "parameter" list?

I could not find and example for this.
I want to display a conditional icon in a browse list - either one icon or another, depending on a condition.
