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.

    Is it Possible .... link to two different browses on a single button ?

    On my dialog I have a button to open "Browse1 and a Button to Open "Browse2".

    1) is it possible to put both on one button and so be able to flip-flop from one to the other?
    2) is it possible to change text on the button to show which of the two browses is active ?

    3) if either browse is not open then open it (just the once) then flip-flop between the current open Browses?

    cant think of how to do it.

    Any suggestions please?

    The nearest I can get is as follows (but it needs 4 buttons!)
    Code:
    DIM SHARED Bwse_Choice as C
brwse_dlg_Title = "Browse Toggle"
BrwseN = "Alloc"
varC_result = ui_dlg_box(brwse_dlg_title,<<%dlg%
{Background=#234+234+255}
{region}
{region}(Bwse_Choice:MJF)
(Bwse_Choice:Oper){endregion};
;
{endregion};
{line=1,0};
{region}
<*15Toggle!Toggle> <15Close!Close>
{endregion};
%dlg%,<<%code%
if a_dlg_button = "Toggle" .and. brwseN = "Fleet" then
a_dlg_button = ""
DIM Shared varP_Alloc as P
DIM Alloc_Layout_name as c = "Operator_Orbat_Alloc"
DIM tempP as p
tempP=obj(":"+object_Name_normalize(word(Alloc_Layout_name,1,"@")))
if is_object(tempP) then
if tempP.class() = "form" .or. tempP.class() = "browse" then
tempP.activate()
else
varP_Alloc = :Browse.view(Alloc_Layout_name)
end if
else
varP_Alloc = :Browse.view(Alloc_Layout_name)
end if
brwseN = "Alloc"
end if
if a_dlg_button = "Toggle" .and. brwseN = "Alloc" then
a_dlg_button = ""
DIM Shared varP_Fleet_Jets as P
DIM Fleet_layout_name as c = "Missing_Fleet_Jets"
DIM tempP as p
tempP=obj(":"+object_Name_normalize(word(Fleet_Layout_name,1,"@")))
if is_object(tempP) then
if tempP.class() = "form" .or. tempP.class() = "browse" then
tempP.activate()
else
varP_Fleet_Jets = :Browse.view(Fleet_Layout_name)
end if
else
varP_Fleet_Jets = :Browse.view(Fleet_Layout_name)
end if
brwseN = "Fleet"
end if
%code%)​

      Got it down to just the one button for the "Toggle", is there a way of changing the text on the button?
      Code:
      DIM SHARED Bwse_Choice as C
brwse_dlg_Title = "Browse Toggle"
BrwseN = "Alloc"
varC_result = ui_dlg_box(brwse_dlg_title,<<%dlg%
{Background=#234+234+255}
{region}
<*15Toggle!Toggle> <15Close!Close>
{endregion};
%dlg%,<<%code%
if a_dlg_button = "Toggle" .and. brwseN = "Fleet" then
a_dlg_button = ""
DIM Shared varP_Alloc as P
DIM Alloc_Layout_name as c = "Operator_Orbat_Alloc"
DIM tempP as p
tempP=obj(":"+object_Name_normalize(word(Alloc_Layout_name,1,"@")))
if is_object(tempP) then
if tempP.class() = "form" .or. tempP.class() = "browse" then
tempP.activate()
else
varP_Alloc = :Browse.view(Alloc_Layout_name)
end if
else
varP_Alloc = :Browse.view(Alloc_Layout_name)
end if
brwseN = "Alloc"
end if
if a_dlg_button = "Toggle" .and. brwseN = "Alloc" then
a_dlg_button = ""
DIM Shared varP_Fleet_Jets as P
DIM Fleet_layout_name as c = "Missing_Fleet_Jets"
DIM tempP as p
tempP=obj(":"+object_Name_normalize(word(Fleet_Layout_name,1,"@")))
if is_object(tempP) then
if tempP.class() = "form" .or. tempP.class() = "browse" then
tempP.activate()
else
varP_Fleet_Jets = :Browse.view(Fleet_Layout_name)
end if
else
varP_Fleet_Jets = :Browse.view(Fleet_Layout_name)
end if
brwseN = "Fleet"
end if

        Final Piece of the jigsaw:

{Background=#234+234+255}
{region}
<*8,1.=BrwseN!Toggle> <15Close!Close>
{endregion};
%dlg%,<<%code%
if a_dlg_button = "Toggle" .and. brwseN = "Fleet" then
a_dlg_button = ""
DIM Shared varP_Alloc as P

            Graham,

            It is called "Two-states buttons" events and I have enclosed the Samples codes.

            Code:
            '=============================
'Two states Button
'Button - select all or off 'Two state Button
vAlltxt = "Alloc:$$code.debug.line.breakpoint"
vOfftxt = "Fleet:$$generic.orb.blue"
vBtntxt = vAlltxt

'Button code
'<%O={J=LC} {I=:$(:)+1} {@1,$(:)-1} ;%15=vBtntxt!vSelect_file>​
'=============================

'Insert the buttons code at your dlg frame

'event sample
if a_dlg_button  = "vSelect_file" then
    dim vlayout_name as c = ""
    if vBtntxt = vAlltxt then
        vlayout_name = "Operator_Orbat_Alloc"
        'msgbox("open Brw_1"+vlayout_name)
        vBtntxt = vofftxt
    else
        vlayout_name = "Missing_Fleet_Jets"
        'msgbox("open Brw_2"+vlayout_name)
        vBtntxt = vAlltxt
    end if

    ' open the browse - Less codes
    DIM tempP as p
    'tempP=obj(":"+vlayout_name)   'did not test with variable name
    if is_object(vlayout_name) then
        if tempP.class() = "form" .or. tempP.class() = "browse" then
            'tempP.activate()
            msgbox("open Brw_1"+vlayout_name)
        else
            msgbox("open Brw_1"+vlayout_name)
        end if
    else
        msgbox("open Brw_1"+vlayout_name)
    end if

    a_dlg_button = ""
end if​
