Hello all-
re Rebuilding the OBJ and CLW files after text changes
Why should I have to delete and rebuild the OBJ and CLW files to  get the changes saved, please ?

In Application Options,  I have in the Embed Editor "Edit Errors in Context ( using Embeditior)" ticked 
and In the IDE tab, the option "Edit embedded source errors in generated code" remains unticked.
 
Thanks
Regards

can you narrow down what you mean by "text changes" ?

Thanks Bruce

I cannot get the  text changed without deleting the CLW and OBJ files in the following circumstances:

1.Index page Properties
XHtml ->body->properties
2.Report Page Header -> column Heading Text

As a general rule, I do not access embed points from the IDE "Embeditor"


 
   Many thanks

I think screen-shots may help Richard.
I'm still no closer to understanding what you mean by "text"?
Is that a template setting? Embed code? something else?

Hi Bruce,
Further to....

In a netweb Browse  "Actions"
there are two fields  in the general tab - "Heading" and "Page Title"
If I edit them and then  compile and run , the text in the fields is not updated in the running  program,
unless I delete the Clw and obj files first ,  and then recompile and run.
The same applies to the text on a button on the Login Form for example
Button tab Text in the field "Select here " for example

My query is please, why should this be ?
I feel it is something to do with the Clarion Settings ?

Thanks
Regards,
Richard NT 12.62

Make the change.
Right-click on the procedure, choose Embeditor Source, and look for your change.
Then do (just) a generate in the app.
Right-click on the procedure, choose Module Source File, and look for your change.
Click on build.
Run the new exe.
Check for your change.

report back on which step it's going wrong on.

so when you look in the _Embeditor Source_ (not the Module Source) you are not seeing your change?

Bruce
When I  search in the  Embetitor Source I am seeing the change
If I build it and then Compile and Run, the change is saved
Ill put the extra step in and Build and then Compile and Run
Thanks
Richard
