Web Server - Ask For Help / Nettalk 5 Possible Feature List
« on: February 19, 2009, 02:43:03 PM »
Hi,
As nettalk 5 gets closer it would be good to have a chance to review the proposed feature list before the first release. That way the community would have a chance to comment on the direction that is being taken before "final" decisions are taken on what to include.
The other day I demonstrated a Clarion.net prototype to a customer. I was just trying out my first winform .net prototype. They said that was old hat.When was I converting that legacy .net app to wpf?
Since my customers are moving out of winform.net into wpf/web generally. I want to stay with Clarion but considering the workload of a Clarion.net asp conversion and customer demands for web I may have to move to WPF or silverlight.
When it is possible I would like to know what nettalk 5 would do for me.

Hi Bruce,
The forms that contain the browse controls on tabs are all memory forms with a tab style of "default".

Web Server - Ask For Help / insert not restoring position properly on multiple tab form
« on: January 12, 2009, 09:02:26 PM »
Hi,
I have a lot of browse lists with insert buttons on many different tabs on a form. If I insert a record from any of the tabs and save the form does not keep the correct tab. The form displays on the first tab after an insert.
For example if you have a form with two tabs one with a list of customers and one with a list of invoices. You select the second tab to see the list of invoices then enter a new invoice. When you save the invoice the form redisplays incorrectly on the first tab. It needs to return to the second tab in this case.
This makes it impractical to add or change records on a browse on a tab other than the first tab. The user has to keep reselecting the correct tab on the form after entering each record.
If this could be looked at soon I would really appreciate it.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Displaying the same field on multiple tabs on one form
« on: January 12, 2009, 01:21:01 PM »
Hi,
I have a order entry form with many options on a variety of tabs. As the user clicks on each tab I want them to be able to see some of the same fields like customer,name,order # on all the tabs. If I add a field more than once it generates duplicate routines.
Since there is no way to put data above the tabs I fudge the answer by adding a form to the netweb page above the data entry form to hold the constant data.
Is there any easier way of showing the same field on a number of tabs?

Web Server - Ask For Help / calling netwebpage as update form
« on: January 11, 2009, 06:10:33 PM »
Hi,
I simulate memory forms having child forms by using netwebpage procedures with a number of <net: -> links. I use the child forms to show details from browse procedures and to provide additonal tab controls below the main form.
I now need a update form with a child form. I plan to create a netwebpage that calls both forms. Then pick out the values passed to the netwebpage and pass them on to the update form so it works like it was called directly from the parent browse.
Has anyone done this before? If so how did it turn out?

Hi,
Yes I just updated to pr26 today. My app is not working from IE anymore. In particular with netwebpage procedures. I get messages about IE not being able to open the page. Firefox is still fine.
Before pr26 IE 8 was not working. Now IE 7 is not working in a stable manner.

Web Server - Ask For Help / reset whole browse in eip causes loss of cursor position
« on: January 08, 2009, 01:04:40 PM »
Hi,
On PR26, if you set the Client-Side checkbox "Refresh whole browse after server code runs" the browse is refreshed but the focus moves from the field being edited to some unknown position on the screen.
I believe the cursor needs to move to the next eip field as usual.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Requesting number of rows to display on every form.
« on: January 02, 2009, 05:31:37 PM »
I always displays browse controls from forms. I also always use paged loade browses. Users want to vary the number of rows displayed.
I want uses to allow users to enter the number of rows to display. I then override the default number of rows displayed. It would be handy if I did not have to add this field to every tab on every form but could capture it in one place all the time.
I would like to put this field to be available from every form. Is there a way of putting a entry field in a header or footer and getting its value returned to the server. The value needs to be saved in a session value.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Multiple child browse procedures causing parent browse to display incorrectly
« on: January 02, 2009, 05:26:15 PM »
I have a parent browse where if I attach two child browses the parent browse does not display properly. The parent list is displayed twice once with just the data from the first column then with all the columns but the headings out of sync by the missing first column.
I could make either child browse a child of the parent but if I did them both at once the parent browse suffed up.
I got around the problem by making the second child browse be a child of the first child browse. The problem then stopped.

Bruce,
Thanks. This is important to me. I need to push the limits on Nettalk to convert my main app. This is one of the more important items I need. As I have a lot of situations where I need to call forms from other forms.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: tabs not wrapping properly
« on: January 01, 2009, 01:49:59 PM »
Hi Bruce,
Since the tabs did wrap I thought they should wrap properly. But that is ok I was just testing it to see if it would work.
I will just limit the text on my tabs so they do not need to wrap.

Web Server - Ask For Help / tabs not wrapping properly
« on: December 30, 2008, 05:51:23 PM »
Hi,
If you put a whole lot of tabs on a form such that a second line of tabs is required the tabs try to wrap to the next line. But the wrapped tab appears over you locators so you can not read the screen properly.
Is there a way to allow two rows of tabs on a form without it stuffing up the screen display?
Happy New Year Guys

Web Server - Ask For Help / cancel button cancels parent form
« on: December 29, 2008, 07:50:54 PM »
Hi,
I have a form that calls a number of procedures from various tabs. The form has a save and cancel button. On one of it's tabs the form has a button that calls another form directly to insert a record. When you click on the cancel button on the child form it does not just cancel the child form. It also cancels/closes the parent form.
I would expect cancel or save on the child form to effect only the child form not the parent.
Is it possible to call a child form directly from a parent that is also a form in such a way that saving or cancelling the child returns the user to the parent form. Closing both the parent and the child form when the child form is cancelled makes it difficult for me to do a lot of the things I need to do.
