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: what am I doing wrong with this {condition} in a dialog?

You are starting regions(cells) but not ending them.

Find by Fragment is the first region and controls in the list. So it has nothing above it.

change as such..

Country: [%@varC_country_def%.25,varC_country] {endregion}
{endregion}
{endregion}
{endregion}

more changes after that to end each region after the controls are defined.

all bar one start at the same wrong start position.
Only one starts at the correct start position ("Find by Fragment").

suggestions ?

Re: what am I doing wrong with this {condition} in a dialog?

how do I get The next lot of conditional displays to start in the same position each time?

--- because the {REGION= Label } ... {ENDREGION} Label name and location.

Re: what am I doing wrong with this {condition} in a dialog?

Graham,

I tested your code and works fine without any modification.

I'd like insert more {region} ... {Endregion} if you are going to build more options.

{region=a}
your radio...
{endregion};

{region=b}
start the conditions with another -- see " {start_pos} " help.

{condition=(vOpt="a")} {region}... condition_dlg_A .. {endregion}
{condition=(vOpt="b")} {start_pos}{region}... condition_dlg_B .. {endregion}
...

{endrigion};

Re: what am I doing wrong with this {condition} in a dialog?

I think I got the first part working properly, but when I add options for other Radio choices the formatting goes haywire!, how do I get The next lot of conditional displays to start in the same position each time?

Code:

varC_result = ui_dlg_box("Listings",<<%dlg%
{Background=#153+204+255}
{region}
(vOpt:Class)|
(vOpt:Code)|
(vOpt:Date)|
(vOpt:Find by Fragment)|
(vOpt:Group)|
(vOpt:Location);
(vOpt:Operator Name)|
(vOpt:Production List)|
(vOpt:Reg)|
(vOpt:Type)|
(vOpt:Usage);
{line=6,0};
{endregion};
{condition=(vOpt="Find by Fragment")}
{region=a}
(FindOpt:Aircraft)
(FindOpt:Base)
(FindOpt:Operator);{endregion};
{endregion}
{condition=(vOpt="Production List")}
{region=a}
Type:| [%@vSearchValue5_def%.40vSearchValue];
{lf}
Order:|
(ProdOrder:Assembly No)
(ProdOrder:Line No)
(ProdOrder:Msn);
(ProdOrder:Plane Set)
(ProdOrder:Reg)
(ProdOrder:Variant No);
{endregion};
{condition=.t.}
; 
{region};
{lf}
{endregion};
{line=1,0};
{region}
{justify=center}
<*OK!OK> <Cancel!CANCEL>
{endregion};
%dlg%)

You either have to set a_dlg_button to blank when you press "Find by Fragment" or make the dialog modeless so it doesn't close automagically.

what am I doing wrong with this {condition} in a dialog?
Trying to create a conditional display on a dialog, when I click on a radio box above the line, I want to then display further choices depending on which option is selected:

Code:

varC_result = ui_dlg_box("Listings",<<%dlg% {Background=#153+204+255} {region} (vOpt:Class)| (vOpt:Code)| (vOpt:Date)| (vOpt:Find by Fragment)| (vOpt:Group)| (vOpt:Location); (vOpt:Operator Name)| (vOpt:Production List)| (vOpt:Reg)| (vOpt:Type)| (vOpt:Usage); {line=6,0}; {condition=(vOpt="Find by Fragment")} (FindOpt:Aircraft); (FindOpt:Base); (FindOpt:Operator);{endregion}; {condition=.t.} {endregion} ; {region}; {lf} {endregion}; {line=1,0}; {region} {justify=center} <*OK!OK> <Cancel!CANCEL> {endregion}; %dlg%) ... do things

in this example if I select "Find by Fragment" I want to display three further options "Aircraft", "Base" and "Operator"
