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: supercontrol embedded browse.

    Similar question to this thread found at the bottom this thread. :)

    The embedded xdialog needs to have its title set to a variable called dlgtitle not a value of dlgtitle so:

    Remove: dim dlg_title as c
    Remove: dlg_title = "DlgTitle" 'The supercontrol supplies its own title at form runtime which is how it interacts with the xdialog.
    Change: ui_modeless_dlg_box(dlg_title,dlg_body,dlg_event) to: ui_modeless_dlg_box(dlgtitle,dlg_body,dlg_event) 'actually this should be the only line that needs to change to make it work

      Re: supercontrol embedded browse.

      Hi Tim,
      This is very successfull, thank you.
      i am now removing the data source from active/dbf table to sql

      a new scenerio here would be:

      "How do we refresh the browse?"
      i know re-load the form can do it,
      but can i refresh it with xbasic on the fly?

      appreciate your feedback,

      thanks

        Re: supercontrol embedded browse.

        Ken,

        It looks like you created the browse with control buttons but then removed the buttons from the dialog definition. However the event code for those buttons is still there. The following code would have been activated by a refresh button. The Line in red is what you need to do the refresh. Add your own button or use some other event to triggeer it.
        Code:
        else if a_dlg_button = "browseObj1_RefreshRecord" then 
    a_dlg_button = ""
    [COLOR=Red]browseObj1.command("REFRESH")[/COLOR]
end if
        In addition, browseObj1 can be treated like a pointer to the browse as one would use it in a stand alone browse. Most if not all actions/methods that one would use in a stand alone browse can be used on the embedded version.
