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.

    Hide Quick Search Bar When Nothing To Search

    Does anyone know how to hide the search box and row if there isn't anything to search?

    I posted a photo to clarify what I am talking about: http://screencast.com/t/NERmNIgx6e

    Thanks so much for your time :-)

    Yes?

    Code:
    $('id.of.search.area').style.display = 'none';

      Re: Hide Quick Search Bar When Nothing To Search

      Hi Sarah,

      Thanks so much for writing to me. I am not good at all with javascript but I took you code a put it into the Client-side-events using the onObjectInitialize and was successfully able to hide it but I am guessing I need some sort of statement to go along with it and don't really know how to do that

      I see in the grid properties the "'Total Records' Message Text" uses this:{Total_Records} but I didn't know if I could just steal that to use it.

      The code below doesn't work but I would have been shocked if it could, is there a way that this could work?

      Thanks so much!

      Lily

      if {Total_Records} = < 1

      $('PROSPECTS_CLIENT_LIS_1649OQRG.QUICKSEARCHLABEL').style.display = 'none';
      $('PROSPECTS_CLIENT_LIS_1649OQRG.QUICKSEARCH').style.display = 'none';
      $('PROSPECTS_CLIENT_LIS_1649OQRG.QUICKSEARCH.SUBMITBUTTON').style.display = 'none';

      end if

        The total records is harder because it's largely undocumented...

        Code:
        //Get total records in grid
        var totalRecords = {grid.Object}._totalRecordsInGrid
        
        // if statements use { and } in javascript to mark the if block
        if (totalRecords <= 1) {
            $('{grid.ComponentName}.QUICKSEARCHLABEL').style.display = 'none';
            $('{grid.ComponentName}.QUICKSEARCH').style.display = 'none';
            $('{grid.ComponentName}.QUICKSEARCH.SUBMITBUTTON').style.display = 'none';
        }
        Catch: If _totalRecordsInGrid is not populated before onObjectInitialize is called, then this will not really do what you want. You'll figure that out pretty quickly if your code is always hiding everything, even if there are more than 1 records.

          You should check out this thread, as well. It has some information in it relevant to what you're trying to do: http://msgboard.alphasoftware.com/al...ht=hide+search

          Maybe. If not, it's a worthwhile read anyway.

            Lastly, if you're experiencing problems, launch your grid in FireFox with FireBug running. Have the Console tab open. It will display any JavaScript errors that might be occurring. Super helpful for figuring out what is going wrong. jsErrors.png

              I took your code and put it on the "ongridInitializeComplete" and it works perfectly :-)

              Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!!! I'm going to check that other thread that you posted now too. There is always more to learn :-)
