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.

    Show/Hide Embedded Grid Action Button From Parent Dialog

    Perhaps I've been burning the midnight oil far to much of late or I'm simply losing it. It feels like it should be quite simple. I have a "Power Search" with an embedded grid that the filters are applied to. I need to Show or hide an action button in the embedded grid based on a single value in a check box on the parent dialog.

    Details : Checkbox(ENTRY_TYPE) choices = Green,Green-Transfer, Kiln-Dried, KD-Transfer, Log.
    Dependencies: Action button using CurrentGridFilter() for opening grid to update record's pricing in a workspace (div).

    Picture below is a few days work behind but it gets the point across.
    The button on the bottom of the right grid (PriceByGrid) is what i want show only if "Green" is selected in the dialog filter. I'm working on making it so that only one Check box can be checked at a time, if the user checks another box the previous is unchecked...i think i just missed something stupid somewhere and I'm probably a couple hours from sleep deprived hallucinations. Im not sure but this may fix my problem but I'm not sure yet as it seems like the show expression is working on the currently selected row. But I have a board meeting Tuesday to present to program to them and this is one of 3 issues i have left. Looking for some insight on how to handle this with the real estate i have. Big problem is a lot of our clerical staff is either elderly or their vision is not so well so the resolutions are never above 1600x900

    As is show/hide expression is ENTRY_TYPE = "Green" and it works kinda but if there is no filter applied and the user selects a row with green and hits the button it throws an sql error because the grid its loading is only for that entry type. Just want to protect the users from themselves...always

    Really tired, perhaps should just stop and get some sleep. Changed Checkbox to Radio....{head.Object}.setValueFrom(FACE,PALM) now just to figure out a bogus filter to keep one of the action buttons from being enabled without a filter..or get the grid to not show records until a filter is applied...

      Have to love it when you figure your own problem's out. Take away the default value for the radio button and in the onInitializeComplete event {dialog.Object}.setValue('ENTRY_TYPE_CHKBOX','Green'). Atleast this way only a relevant button is shown always. works for me. Sorry if i wasted anyone's time trying to help me out. Im all for any better solution thought

        Since I'm losing it and posting to myself already ill update the final solution. After the onInitializeComplete trial of which i thought was working in fact was only working on the cached grid component. So to fix this instead of doing a timer to allow the grid to be completely rendered before trying to apply a filter to it, in the grid's onGridRenderComplete even i put the following:

        var parent = {grid.Object}.getParentObject();
        parent.setValue('ENTRY_TYPE_CHKBOX','Green')

        Hope this helps someone else out sleep deprived or not.

        Side note hate it when you call it a night and go lay down and have an epiphany and have to get back up to finish it
