Hi,

It works fine.

'vEmpNm = lookup("emp","emp_id="+quote(WrkOdr_Daily->Emp_Id),"alltrim(Emp_fullname)") 
 
vDaylist = table.external_record_content_get( "wrkodr_daily",\
"lookup(\"emp\",\"emp_id=\"+quote(emp_id),\"alltrim(Emp_fullname)\")+' '+Assign_Date+' '+Wrkodr_Id+' '+Assignment+' '+Project_Id",\

'Problem: Changed Emp_id to lookup()

How can I get the list value when I change the Date value?

'Create an XDialog dialog box to prompt for parameters.
DIM vFindDate as d '={12/8/10}
DIM vSchedule as C
DIM varC_result as C
vFilter = "Assign_date="+s_quote(vFindDate)
'auto_list_vSchedule = table.external_record_content_get("wrkodr_daily",\
'"Wrkodr_Id+' '+Assign_date+' '+Emp_Id+' '+Assignment","Emp_id+cdate(Assign_date)",vFilter)

'Changed to other filter style
auto_list_vSchedule = table.external_record_content_get("wrkodr_daily",\
"Wrkodr_Id+' '+Emp_Id+' '+Assignment","Emp_id+cdate(Assign_date)","Assign_date ="+s_quote(Var->vFindDate))


temp_count = w_count(auto_list_vSchedule,crlf())
DELETE a_vSchedule

DIM a_vSchedule[temp_count] as c
a_vSchedule.initialize(auto_list_vSchedule)

ok_button_label = "&OK"
cancel_button_label = "&Cancel"
varC_result = ui_dlg_box("Daily Work Schedule",<<%dlg%
{region}
Find Date:| [%DATE;P=popup.calendar(dtoc(vFindDate));I=popup.calendar%.15vFindDate!vDate_Change];
List:| [.80,5vSchedule^#a_vSchedule];
{endregion};
{line=1,0};
{region}
<*15=ok_button_label!OK> <15=cancel_button_label!CANCEL>
{endregion};
%dlg%,<<%code%

if a_dlg_button ="vDate_Change" then
    vSchedule=""
    auto_list_vSchedule = table.external_record_content_get("wrkodr_daily",\
"Wrkodr_Id+' '+Assign_date+' '+Emp_Id+' '+Assignment","Emp_id+cdate(Assign_date)",vFilter)
    a_vSchedule.initialize(auto_list_vSchedule)
	a_dlg_button=""
end if
%Code%)

When I test with vFindDate Field value, this script is shown the records as I want it. However, I changed the date then this script did not change the records with date value.

Re: xDlg - Check Box List Events

I forgot that Alpha always seems to use Shared as the default in their genies. I presume there is a good reason for that but I've never checked since I almost never use the genies anymore.

It's probably not an issue at all. Just be aware that using that same variable name anywhere else under the same form will mean that the values are shared. If wierd stuff starts showing up, you know what to look for - otherwise don't worry about it.

Re: xDlg - Check Box List Events

Cal,

First, the way you are using the vFilterStatus variable in the function scares me a bit. If you change it in this script, it will also change it elsewhere because it's a shared variable. Is that really what you want?

* I am not sure but
(1) Whenever I used the ActionScript (xDialog Box), the Alpha creates as "dim Shared ...."

(2) Can the shared variable be shared within, as long as related each codings?

(3) I have a Parent xDlg and Child xDlg, here attached the sample codes. I want to get the value from child xDlg or form Parent xDlg. How can I get the field value without "Dim Shared variable"? Is the other way not scare you, Cal?

 
dim vName as c
dim vResultCo as c
'vResultCo = replace_parameters(vCompany,local_variables()) 'Which came from Child but It did not work like here

ui_modeless_dlg_box("ParentDialog",<<%dlg%

Result value from Child xDlg:| [.20vResultCo];
<Open xdlg!xDlg>;

{lf=2};
{line=1,0};
{region}
<Save>{sp}<Hello>{sp}<company>{sp}<Close>;
{endregion};
%dlg%,<<%code%

if a_dlg_button = "Hello" then
	ui_msg_box("","Another message from the parent dialog")
	show_embedded(local_variables()) 'When I deledted local_variables(), Not work
    'ui_dlg_event("ChildDialog","Hello",.t.)
end if

if a_dlg_button = "Company" then
	ui_msg_box("","Another message from the parent dialog")
	ui_dlg_event("ChildDialog","Hello",.t.) 'It did not open the childDlg
end if

if a_dlg_button = "xDlg" then
    a_dlg_button = ""
    show_embedded(local_variables())
end if

if a_dlg_button = "checkbox" then
    a_dlg_button = ""
    if openxdlg =.t. then
    show_embedded(local_variables())
    end if
end if

if a_dlg_button = "close" then
    ui_modeless_dlg_close("ParentDialog")
end if

if a_dlg_button ="save" then
	'Save to table
	dim t as p
	t=table.open("test")
	t.fetch_last()
		t.enter_begin()
		t.name = vName
		t.company=vCompany
	t.enter_end(.t.)
	t.close()
end if
%code%) 'End of the 1st xdlg scripts
end

*** Child xDlg (Code Page 2) *********

FUNCTION show_embedded AS C (vars AS P )
	dim shared vCompany as c	
    with vars
ui_modeless_dlg_box("ChildDialog",<<%dlg%
{wrap=40}

{lf};

{lf};
{lf};
<Hello>  <close>;
%dlg%,<<%code%
if a_dlg_button = "Hello" then
    'sleep(2)
    ui_msg_box("Company","Hello: " + vCompany)
end if
if a_dlg_button="close" then
	ui_modeless_dlg_close("ChildDialog")
    end 
end if
%code%)
    end with
END FUNCTION

I have the bad experience because the coding was too long which I am not able to control the coding errors. So I stated to break a parts. This sample Style script and "Shared" is one of the reason I am still remained with "Shared".

I do not like the Keylist_build() but like the "Return Value".


Cal, Thank you for help always:)

Thanks, Mike. I've been busy all afternoon and just now saw the message. Looks like you've said about the same thing I would have.

Re: xDlg - Check Box List Events

John, I added sme code to the prior post, see if that helps. You'll have to write the report print through the genie, and add it in.

Re: xDlg - Check Box List Events

Mike,

Thank you.

Now, I want to print the reports or labels, Can I use the one of your code instead of "<tbl>.mark()"?

Re: xDlg - Check Box List Events

The return value is a crlf() delimited list of the 'contract_shorname' value(s) checked in the dialog's Variable Job Status Filter List field. The list of the checked contract_shortnames is held in the variable query_vLists(in red below). The code that follows will process the list of the chosen contracts marking the records in the Contracts table for each.

Re: xDlg - Check Box List Events

Cal,

What is the Return Value After I selected a few jobs?
Is the return value Record number of table or a string of Job name?

Can you teach me how to save those select jobs as "<tbl>.Mark()" on the table and after Printed the records, release the "mark()"?

Re: xDlg - Check Box List Events

First, the way you are using the vFilterStatus variable in the function scares me a bit. If you change it in this script, it will also change it elsewhere because it's a shared variable. Is that really what you want?

Personally, I hate using keylist build so I haven't used it in years and won't even attempt to address that method. I think it's way to complex for any kind of "manual" editing.

I don't have your table to work from so this hasn't been tested but below is my best guess as to something that should work.

- I took some liberties and did some cleanup that I believe makes it easier to read and understand.
- I don't know why A5 always converts crlf lists to arrays before using them in lists - it isn't necessary. Just use the crlf list.
- The Alpha genie always sets button text by setting a variable first. This is almost never necessary and just adds confusion as far as I'm concerned. (Although I do see the need for it in the genie.)
- I'm not sure what some parts of the xdialog are doing. I basically ignored anything not directly related to the "filter status" and "job list".
