Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    {dialog.object}.submit() - is it successful or not

    {dialog.object}.submit();
    Is there a flag set that I can check to see if the above command was successful or not?
    I have some extra Javascript code that I need to execute only if the above is successful.
    Appreciate your help! Thanks.

    Presume you have something to save your data to the table in the server-side afterDialogValidate event? The genie for that code gives some suggestions. You can use the e.javascript object there as one option.

      Steve, Thanks! I am able to see the Variable exposed by Action, by clicking on the 'ExecuteServerSideAction' and selecting [Action Scripting > Show variables exposed by action] similar navigation as
      [Action Scripting > Edit Action].
      ...
      rtc.flagWebSecurityhasGlobalError '.t. or .f. - indicates if the validation process had any error.
      rtc.flagWebSecurityhasFieldError '.t. or .f. - indicates if any specific security field had an error.
      ....

          JPMPA,
          To expand on what Steve said, if you are saving data in a UX then on the server-side event 'afterDialogValidate', formulate the javascript commands you want to run, if there is a successful save, and return that as a string in "e.javascript". For example:

          function afterDialogValidate as v (e as p)
          e.javascript = "myJavaScript( '" + e.dataSubmitted.my_var1 + "', '" + e.rtc.my_New_id_var + "');"
          end function

          In the above, I pass a piece of original data back to a custom js function along with a second parameter that tells the function the ID of the newly created record.

          I defined 'myJavaScript' in the component's global javascript properties.

          But be careful, naming the javascript function like this and putting it in there turns out to be a really bad practice - the function name may clash with a previously loaded version of the function or with a function of the same name from another loaded component.

              Re: {dialog.object}.submit() - is it successful or not

              It seems to hold good for regular Save, but not for security - add user Save.
              Regular:
              ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Data::Save_Submitted_Data_to_Table_s_")
              But when adding user (security registering user) - none of these seems to getting updated
              Security Add User:
              ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Web Security Values::Save_Web_Security_Values")

                Are you sure the "DialogValidate" server side event was successful. Perhaps if that one fails then it never calls the "afterDialogValidate" function?

                  Re: {dialog.object}.submit() - is it successful or not

                  Yes, It is reaching the afterDialogValidate. ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Data::Save_Submitted_Data_to_Table_s_") shown here is inserting values - but ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Web Security Values::Save_Web_Security_Values") is not. [the first one is inserting values in my custom table. the second one is not inserting values in the security tables]

                  function afterDialogValidate as v (e as p)

                  dim rtc.flagRecordWasSaved as l

                  'To edit this action, place insertion point anywhere in the command, then click the 'Action Scripting' button'.
                  ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Data::Save_Submitted_Data_to_Table_s_")
                  if rtc.flagRecordWasSaved
                  'To edit this action, place insertion point anywhere in the command, then click the 'Action Scripting' button'.
                  ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Web Security Values::Save_Web_Security_Values")
                  end if ...
                  I added the following after it, but when I do some logic here - it does not work - does nothing for pass/fail
                  if rtc.flagWebSecurityhasGlobalError = .T. then
                  'Security values NOT ok, inform users.
                  else
                  'Security values ok, do some action allowed if data is valid.
                  end if

                    Re: {dialog.object}.submit() - is it successful or not

                    I have not tried this yet. But my first guess would be to check for a mismatch between Alpha the primary key definition for the table. Second, I'd turn on the "Capture debugging information" property in the UX and check for the log file it describes and see if its contents give any clues. Third, click on the action script line in xbasic and click "Action Scripting" in the toolbar and convert it to text so you can see what happens if you put in a debug(1) statement and run in Working Preview.

                        Re: {dialog.object}.submit() - is it successful or not

                        function afterDialogValidate as v (e as p)

                        dim rtc.flagRecordWasSaved as l

                        'To edit this action, place insertion point anywhere in the command, then click the 'Action Scripting' button'.
                        ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Data::Save_Submitted_Data_to_Table_s_")
                        if rtc.flagRecordWasSaved
                        'To edit this action, place insertion point anywhere in the command, then click the 'Action Scripting' button'.
                        ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Web Security Values::Save_Web_Security_Values")
                        end if ...
                        1) ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Data::Save_Submitted_Data_to_Table_s_") -- inserts into custom table for additional fields
                        2) ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Web Security Values::Save_Web_Security_Values") -- inserts into Alpha security tables

                        This is the issue -the first one inserts the value into my custom table [say: RegisteredUsers] (rtc.flagWebSecurityhasGlobalError flags works great to let me know the result)
                        I wanted to see what happens if the security values are not inserted because of some error (field length size exceeds, database size exceed, table locked, table does not exist, etc, etc - the point is if it happens ) in the security table by the 2nd procedure.

                        I was surprised that if error happened during the execution of the 2nd procedure, the values in my custom tables were committed, even when no values are inserted in the security tables.
                        I created this issue by renaming the security table WebSecurityUsers to WebSecurityUsers_1 temporarily.
                        So I am trying to see how can I capture the error when ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Web Security Values::Save_Web_Security_Values") fails.
                        Thanks!

                          The Save_Submitted_Data_to_Table_s_ works for me in alpha anywhere. Like when i fill in the fields of the controls i can submit to an external SQL Database table which I have created. But somehow this does not work on the device which i has installed on, I cant seem to "submit" the data in the controls to my external database on my current workstation. Is there anywhere for this to work?
