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.

    Repeating Section dropdowns after 'Refresh Controls' call

    I have repeating sections that link users to a visit. I have a link that says 'Add New User'. When clicking this link a popup comes up and I add new users.

    I use the following code to refresh the dropdown in the repeating section:
    {dialog.Object}.refreshDropdownBoxChoices('DDUSER');

    This works fine, however, when clicking Add New Row in the repeating section - the dropdowns do not have my new user.
    Is there a way to tell Alpha that when refreshing the control it should store this list as the new list when Adding New rows?

    Any help is appreciated

    Re: Repeating Section dropdowns after 'Refresh Controls' call

    I do not where you are using that code, however would you mind testing the same
    {dialog.Object}.refreshDropdownBoxChoices('DDUSER');
    in the dduser control onFocus event and see if it works.

    secondly, is this a desktop question? it is in desktop section.

      Re: Repeating Section dropdowns after 'Refresh Controls' call

      Hi Ggandhi,
      It is technically a web quesiton, I must have put it in the wrong section.

      Using on focus might be a good bandaid fix but will introduce a number of redudant ajax callbacks. I suppose with the caching it may not be so bad and it is better than it not working.
      I was using the refreshDropdownBoxChoices call on the OnHide event of the dialog window that actually adds users.
      So when the popup window is closed - the choices get refreshed. This works for existing dropdowns but when I add new records, it uses a cached list.

      Thanks for your input

        I had similar situation where I had one button to add the name to list another to refresh the dropdown, now you made me think
        and now I am testing new method, so far so good.
        when you click on the link to add the new user you are using the dialog right? when you save the dialog on the afterDialogValidate event the variable that is exposed can be used to refresh the list.

        here is the code I used and seems to work.

        Code:
        if rtc.flagRecordWasSaved = .t. then
        	
        	e.javascript = e.javascript+ crlf()+"var po = {dialog.object}.getParentObject();"
        	e.javascript = e.javascript + "if (po) {po.refreshDropdownBoxChoices('NAME');}"
        
        end if
        edit: added if (po)
        in your case change to DDUSER

          Hi Ggandhi,
          I have similar code, but does the following work with your example:

          Click the Add New User button
          Add a User
          Names refresh - Okay
          What happens if you click the 'Add New Row' in the repeat section? Does the NEW dropdown contain your new entry?

          Would appreciate it if you let me know

          Thanks very much for your time

            this is two part series, one showing in real life I did not add data not to mess up my database,
            the second one mock up shows what is happening.
            hope this is what you are looking for..

              Hi Ggandhi,
              Thank you for making the screencasts.
              I took a look at them but here is the issue I have:

              1) Click the Add Vendor
              2) Add 'peacock'
              3) Peacock will show in any dropdowns
              4) Add New Row to the repeating section
              5) Without doing anything else, see if 'peacock' exists in the New Row

              In our tests over here, the newly added row does not contain the refreshed list.
              Can you see if this bug happens in your version as well?

              Someone had suggested I move the refresh code to onFocus of the dropdown, but this might introduce a lot of redundant ajax calls.
              Just trying to see if there is a better solution.

              Thank you for your time / patience / assistance

                      Hi GGandhi your last example is correct (the one with belafonte) - and everything seems to work in your system.
                      What Alpha Version are you using (V11? V12?) and Build#?
                      Maybe this is specific to Alpha Version V12.2 Build 1826.

                      Thank you for taking time out of your day.

                          Gotcha - Wasn't sure if that was the only version you used.
                          Maybe this is something related to the specific version Im using.

                          Thank you for all your help.
