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.

    Close ux Component without resetting the form First

    I have an app with three separate ux components.

    1st ux = Student list
    2nd ux = Class List
    3rd ux = Days Attended List

    the first component is a list of students and has an onClick event in the row properties of the list to open the 2nd ux to whichever row was selected from the first list. The third list opens when a row in the 2nd list is selected. This app uses panel cards as this is going to be accessed by an ipad or iphone.

    Component two and three has a back button that closes the current window in order to go to the previous component. My problem is that when you select a row in any of the components, before you can use the "back" button, it says "You must first save your changes or cancel changes by clicking the Reset button". This has forced me to add a reset button in order to go back. This forces you to press the reset button, confirm resetting the form, then use the back button. How can I by pass this?

    BTW, the intention of this app is Read-Only, but if i set the list properties to Read-Only, it does not allow you to click a row, and If the user can not click a row it wont pass the argument value to the next component that is being opened.

    Any Ideas here?

    EDIT: the method my "back" button is using is {dialog.object}.closeContainerWindow(this);, if that makes any difference?

    Re: Close ux Component without resetting the form First

    If you have some js setValue() function calls going on when the ux's are loaded then have you included the optional 3rd parameter of 'false'. Maybe that would help the ux from thinking it is "dirty". If you cannot figure out what is making the UX think it is dirty then you could always try forcing it to be not dirty with this JS:

    {dialog.Object}.setDirty(false);


    Also, I saw this video about clicking a column in a UX to open another UX:

      Gday, have you tried this property 'Warn before closing if Component in window is dirty'. Its right near the bottom of the Target Window group in the Open UX Dialog.
