using page override settings

[Pat Bremkamp]

The V11 page includes an overrides section for changing settings in the grid at display time, but I can't figure out the syntax.

I have a grid named qms_issues that includes an accordion tab and I want to specify the tabs that will be open when the grid is initialized. Depending on where the grid is called from, I want different selections. So, I though I could put the grid in different pages and use the overrides to make the selection.

I found the settings for the tab in the Xbasic area, as follows:

with tmpl.field_info[49]
.TabControl.InitialOpenAccordionPanes = "1,3"

So, in the overrides, I've tried
field_info[49].TabControl.InitialOpenAccordionPanes = "1,3"
and
tmpl.field_info[49].TabControl.InitialOpenAccordionPanes = "1,3"
and
tmpl_QMS_ISSUES.field_info[49].TabControl.InitialOpenAccordionPanes = "1,3"

but none of those had any effect.

Anyone know the right syntax?

Thanks

Re: using page override settings

I found a genie for inserting the component into the page and it includes a magic function:
flagMustRecalculateGridLayout = .t.

It doesn't say where it is supposed to go, so I copied it into the override settings, but that didn't work either....I'll give it another half day or so beofre I give up and create 8 different grids, but I'm still hoping someone knows...

Thanks

That's what I thought...nobody knows how or nobody uses it....either way, I can't wait any longer, so I'm going ahead with making 8 different versions of the same grid.

Pat,

I tried but couldn't see a way to put an accordion control in the grid proper. I put one in a detail view and was able to set the tab order using the override settings with this:

tmpl.DetailField_Info[4].TabControl.InitialOpenAccordionPanes = "1,3"

Yeah, Pat, what Jim is doing. Couple notes:

1) I'd look at doing it in the OnGridExecute event.

2) Syntax would be:

e.tmpl.DetailField_Info[4].TabControl.InitialOpenAccordionPanes = "1,3"

3) If this doesn't work, try the appropriate one of these to recalc things:

tmpl.flagMustRecalcGridLayout
tmpl.flagMustRecalcSearchLayout
tmpl.flagMustRecalcDetailViewLayout
tmpl.flagMustRecalculateGridLayoutAndControls
tmpl.flagMustRecalculateDetailViewLayoutAndControls
tmpl.flagMustRecalculateSearchLayoutAndControls
tmpl.flagMustRecalculateAllProperties

Proper syntax would be:

e.tmpl.flagMustRecalcGridLayout = .t.

Use the one that addresses the least/most specific part you need - takes less time. Biggest hammer is the tmpl.flagMustRecalculateAllProperties

Re: using page override settings

Jim and Steve,

Thanks to both of you. Decided to give it another try and this finally worked:

In the page, set SESSION.TABPANES = "1,3"

Then in the OnGridExecute, put
e.tmpl.field_info[49].TabControl.InitialOpenAccordionPanes = SESSION.TABPANES
e.tmpl.flagMustRecalculateGridLayoutAndControls = .t.

That is working.
