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.

    Keylist_build

    Okay this is my problem
    I build a list using keylist_build from a table that I search in a ui_dialog_box that as over 100k records. I search that list by last name then first name by typing in the last name from the keyboard and the list is index by last name so it goes to the combination of keys I type. Once I find the name in the list ( the name is highlighted) I push the add button and add it to an array that I also display in the ui_dialog_box. Here is the problem when I go back to search for a second name and so forth to add to my array list the keylist_build will not search using the keyboard anymore like it did with the first search I did. I can move the scroll bar on the keylist_build list and scroll through a 100k names but that takes to long. I want to be able to start typing the last name and it goes to that last name. it works on the first choice but after that I can't search anymore. here is my code
    thanks for any help

    Re: Keylist_build

    You search your list using an index based on last & first names.
    When you add to the table, you use the "id" index.
    After you add to the table, put couple more lines:
    1.put the index that is based on last & first names..then
    2.refresh your list..

      Hi Willie,
      Here is a stripped down example I use to search employees. The XD does not use an array but does create a sublist from the search.

        thank Gabriel
        I open a new instance of the play table and add the "id" index to that instance then I close the play table. That does not have any effect on the current play table search in the dialog box. what is the command to refresh the build_keylist. or give focus back to the build_keylist
        thanks Willie
