NetTalk 5 - Problems with navigation buttons

[alex.kolaric]

Hi,

I have weird problem with browse navigation buttons in NT5. When the browse is re-sorted by column different then default sort order column and I click on Next button browse becomes empty and navigation buttons disappear. If I click on Last button browse shows last page of records and navigation buttons remain visible. If the browse box is sorted by default column defined in application everything works as expected. Using NT5.37 with multiple MSSQL tables joined by dictionary or custom join where primary file has unique key with only one component.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex
I have found this when the column selected is a looked up value from a parent file. Does this happen on columns native to the primary table selected in the Table Schematic as well?

Hi Terry,

It mostly happens on the columns from child files related through Table Schematic, however there is no rule cause on some of them it works fine. Example document table related to lines table, if sorting by doc no or date it works, if I sort by part number from the line table it doesn't work. But if I sort on condition field from the line also it works ... So I'm totally confused.

Thanks,
Alex

check your xml via firebug as it could be your data. I have had similar probs in past

Thanks Kevin,

I did it but I don't get any error or warning in the console and XML response looks ok. I don't see any weird thing about it.

2 things spring to mind Alex,

a) try with the latest NT5 - or better yet NT6.
b) post an example of the effect. (include data etc so I can duplicate here.)

cheers

Thanks Bruce,

I will try the latest NT5. Unfortunately we didn't buy NT6 yet cause we don't have time to convert and re-test all our work with it.

Hi Bruce,

I just want to let you know I solved the issue I was having. After few days of hitting the head against the wall though

The reason why the buttons were not working was size of 2 template fields loc:LastValue and loc:Firstvalue of 1024 chars. Apparently it was not enough to save position information for my view. Changing of the size in template and in NetWeb.clw - SetView method solved the issue.

I hope this will be useful information

Regards,
Alex
