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: Embedded xDialogs

    John,

    When you dim vParent, just dim it as :
    DIM GLOBAL vParent as C
    I have a feeling that somewhere along the way, your variable scope is getting confused.
    Others may argue, but I don't set a pointer to the different variable spaces. It just confuses me.

    Define your variabls as global in both scripts and just use the variable as defined. That should work.

    Code:
    'Put code here to DIM any variables used in your Xdialog.
    
    'Make a global_variable
    
    dim GLOBAL vParent as c
    dim GLOBAL vChilName as c 
    dim GLOBAL vDate as d
    
    
    'IMPORTANT: Do not change the dialog title. Place dialog content here...
    ui_modeless_dlg_box(dlgTitle,<<%dlg%
    {background=<Transparent>}
    {startup=init}
    {frame=1}
    {region}
    Date;| [.20vDate!Name_*];
    Name Send to child:| [.25vParent!Name_*];
    
    not share any more;
    Name get from child:| [%R%.25gv.vChildName];
    
    {endregion};
    {lf};
    
    %dlg%,<<%code%
    'Place code here for your event handlers...
    
    if left(a_dlg_button,4) = "Name" then
        if a_dlg_button ="Name_Change" then
        	ui_modeless_dlg_refresh(":Share:xdialog1")
           ui_modeless_dlg_refresh(":Share:xdialog3")
        end if
        a_dlg_button = ""
    end if
    
    %code%)
    Code:
    'Put code here to DIM any variables used in your Xdialog.
    dim GLOBAL vChildName as C
    'Set a Global Variable containing the	
    dim GLOBAL vParent as C
    dim GLOBAL vDate as D
    
    'IMPORTANT: Do not change the dialog title. Place dialog content here...
    ui_modeless_dlg_box(dlgTitle,<<%dlg%
                    {background=<Transparent>}		
    		{wrap=60}
    		This is an embedded dialog box that responds to the xDialog event sent to it from its parent. and receive from parent;
    		{lf};
    		Name for Child:; 
    		  [.50vChildName!vName_changed];
    		Name get From Parent:; 
    		  [%R%.50gv.vParent];
    		Record Date:| [.20gv.vDate];  
    		{lf};
    		Enter a name into the Name field and,  After  second, the "Parent" dialog box will be shown the child Name.;
    		{lf};
    		
    		%dlg%,<<%code%
    		'Place code here for your event handlers...
    		
    		if a_dlg_button ="vName_changed" then
    		    a_dlg_button =""
    		    ui_modeless_dlg_refresh(":share:xdialog3")
    		    ui_modeless_dlg_refresh(":share:xdialog1")
    		end if
    		
    		%code%)
    The variables are defined in Both scripts as global, so there shouldn't be any confusion.

    make the variables GLOBAL, then they can be seen by anything in the database until you close it.

    Embedded xDialogs

    Hi

    How do you refer the variables between the two or more Embedded xDialogs?

    I want to have this action; changing the Left side of the Embedded xDailog( xDialog7) then the variables will be shown at right side of the Embedded xDialog ( xDialog1 ).
