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.

    List Control Data Source Filter using SQL IN operator

    My arguments reference controls on the UX.

    This syntax works fine when whatEmployeeID = 1189 and whatStatus = New
    where employeeid = :whatEmployeeID and status = :whatStatus

    This does not work when whatEmployeeID = 1189 and whatStatus = New,Pending
    where employeeid = :whatEmployeeID and status IN (:whatStatus)


    My action javascript "Filter records in a List Control" works fine by mapping the status field to the UX whatStatus control which is set to New,Pending. I then use Search option 201. (combine selections with OR). I need a way to insure my UX only pulls New and Pending when opening the UX.
    Since my app is disconnected, I perform my list refresh in onRestoreFromLocalStorage where I test if the list is dirty or clean BEFORE I execute the refreshListData method.

    I almost understand this... but not quite.

    I need a way to insure my UX only pulls New and Pending when opening the UX.
    Opening the UX for the first time... or being restored from Local Storage?

    Select "New" and "Pending" all the time... or specifically whatever is in your "whatStatus" UX control?

    Your app is disconnected... but you're performing a connected operation... refreshListData. Does this mean you perform a refreshListData when you test for, and have, a connection?

      Here is my code in onRestoreFromLocalStorage.

      function runRefreshLogic()
      {
      var lObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('List_Expenses');
      var listDirty = lObj.listIsDirty();

      if (listDirty == false )
      {
      \\My default refreshed list should only show New and Pending. User can change filter to Approved, Paid, Disapproved or any combination AFTER the list is loaded.
      {dialog.Object}.setValue('SearchStatus','New,Pending');
      {dialog.object}.refreshListData('List_Expenses');
      }
      else
      {
      alert('You have data that was not saved to the server.\n Press Sync to save your data and then refresh.');
      }
      }
      runRefreshLogic();

        There is a special setup of an Argument you can use to specify multiple values... for the IN Clause

        Rename your Argument whatStatus to array_whatStatus

        Your SQL WHERE clause will now be...

        Code:
        WHERE Status IN (:array_whatStatus)
        With the prefix 'array' in there, Alpha processes the values assigned to the argument. They must be CRLF delimited.

        I don't know how your whatStatus Control gets its "filter" values... but you'll need to change things around here a bit. Lots of ways to get this done.

        If your whatStatus control is a simple Textbox... then you could now set a default of...

        Code:
        ="New" + crlf() + "Pending"
        Because the default is first interpreted at the server, this default gets turned into a Javascript Array. Because it's an Array, the SQL IN Clause understands it... and you'll get New and Pending rows.

        However, you also need to let your users change the Status filter. The easiest way would be to change the TextBox control to a DropdownBox Control, change the DropDownBox Properties Height property to 2, Multi-select allowed to Multiple, and change the Field Properties Height to 3in (or whatever you want). Pay specific attention to what properties you're changing. You can set the DropDownBox Static Choices to the filter values you want to allow.

        When rendered, the whatStatus DropDownBox Control will show "New" and "Pending" selected, because that's what your Default is set to.

        You can now select single or multiple values from the DropDownControl and perform a refreshListData(). The "array" syntax of the Argument will interpret your DropDownControl properly and the IN Clause will work.

        Any multi-value control will work in this case I believe, although I've only tested the DropDownBox control.

        You can find this information in the Release Notes... which includes this video...

          Thank you very much. I use a multi-select list control which returns a friendly view as "New,Pending,Paid" visible to the user and a hidden control whatstatus which will contain the CRLF delimited list: "New" + crlf() + "Pending" + crlf() + "Paid". The hidden control will be source of my array argument. The video was helpful too. Thanks again.
