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.

    Re: Controlling which panel is visible first in a mobile app

    You can add some javascript where you want.

    The method is: {dialog.object}.panelSetActive('PANELCARD_1');

    Use your PanelCard name of course if it's not PANELCARD_1

    If you want to set this at initial load, you could place this code in the Client-Side onInitializeComplete event.

        Re: Controlling which panel is visible first in a mobile app

        Hi,

        I'm having the same problem described here in this thread. The initial active panel card is not the one I want to be active when the UX is first opened. I have put the code Steve recommended in the client-side onInitializeComplete event, yet the active panel is always a different panel. The panel that gets activated is the first panel I created for the panel navigator, but not the first one sequentially in the UX component.

        Anyone have an idea where the default panel is set for a panel navigator and how to reset it?

        Or, failing that, how to find and modify the code that is setting the active panel after the onInitializeComplete event fires? I can't find any javascript anywhere that might be overriding my code in the onInitializeComplete event, but it's possible I'm missing it somehow I guess.

        This is one of the last hurdles to clear in my mobile project and it's very frustrating that a problem so simple is proving so elusive to fix. Any help much appreciated.

        Thanks.

          Follow-up:

          Moving the code to the onRenderComplete client-side event has the desired effect of forcing the specified panel to be the active panel after the UX is first opened.

          However, a different panel is rendered first causing a flicker effect where a panel appears briefly and then is replaced by the panel specified in the onRenderComplete event code. So I'm still looking for an answer to the question of how the panel navigator decides which panel to activate first, and how to specify an alternate panel.

          Anyone know?

          Thanks.

            I've got this flickering problem also. Was anyone able to resolve it ?

            Cheers,

              I have seen this occur when one of the datacontrols in the panel causing the issue has the initial focus property set.

                Pete,

                That was it. I had a couple of editors in that panel that I had ticked the initial focus checkbox for. Un-checking this, and using the setfocus JS method in the editor show event fixed the problem.

                Thanks for your help.
