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: ui_dlg_ctl_goto() doesn't goto

    Here is the code:
    Code:
    DIM SHARED vcChoiceF as C = "Lastname"
DIM SHARED vFind as C
DIM SHARED vcFindWhat as C = ""
DIM SHARED varC_result as C

dlg_title="Find What"
ok_button_label = "&OK"
cancel_button_label = "&Cancel"

vfind = "k=customer,{keylist_build(\"H=.05,1:25[Last Name]\",''+Lastname,left(''+Lastname,40))}{.t. .and. unique_key_value()}"
varC_result = ui_dlg_box(dlg_title,<<%dlg%
{units=f}{font=calibri,11}{xmargin=2,2}{ysize=.3};;

{region}
(vcChoiceF:Last Name!x_*)
(vcChoiceF:Company!x_*)
(vcChoiceF:City!x_*);;
{endregion};

{region}
Find:|{initial_focus} [%@vfind%.38vcFindWhat];{lf};
     | {font=arial,12,b}You chose the following: {text=vcfindwhat};
{endregion};;

			vfind = stritran(vfind,"Last Name","City")
end select	

	if a_dlg_button="x_change"

		ui_dlg_ctl_goto(dlg_title,"vcFindWhat")
	end if
	a_dlg_button = ""
%code%)
    The glitch is, only on the first change of the radio button the cursor will not go to the find box, beyond that it works as desired with no problems.
    I am sure it's all a timing issue, I have to pin point where and see if it can be remedied.

      Hi John,
      What if you add a 'None' selection to the radio control and set the default value for vChoiceF to that. You could open the dialog without a filter and then your change event for the radio I think will work as expected since the user will have to select one of the other buttons to change the list.

        Ron, run this - it does as you want - you said you have additional controls, use one of those before (or after), as I tried to explain earlier I used that text box to illustrate
        Code:
        DIM SHARED vcChoiceF as C = "Lastname"
DIM SHARED vFind as C
DIM SHARED vcFindWhat as C = ""
DIM SHARED varC_result as C
DIM SHARED current_control as C
dlg="Find What"
ok_button_label = "&OK"
cancel_button_label = "&Cancel"

vfind = "k=customer,{keylist_build(\"H=.05,1:25[Last Name]\",''+Lastname,left(''+Lastname,40))}{.t. .and. unique_key_value()}"

DIM vcFW as C = vFind

varC_result = ui_dlg_box(dlg,<<%dlg%
{units=f}{font=calibri,11}{xmargin=2,2}{ysize=.3};;

{region}
(vcChoiceF:Last Name!change)
 (vcChoiceF:Company!change)
 (vcChoiceF:City!change);;
{endregion};

{region}
[textbox1]; 
Find:|{initial_focus} [%@vcFW%.38vcFindWhat];
{endregion};;
{region}
{justify=center,center}
<8=ok_button_label!OK?vcFindWhat<\>""> <*8=cancel_button_label!CANCEL>
{endregion};
%dlg%,<<%code%
current_control = alltrim(ui_dlg_ctl_current(dlg)) 
if a_dlg_button = "change" then
	ui_dlg_ctl_goto(dlg,"[textbox1]")
	sys_send_keys("{TAB}")

	a_dlg_button = ""
	vcFindWhat = ""

	select
		case vcChoiceF = "Last Name"
			vcFW = vFind
		case vcChoiceF = "Company"
			vcFW = stritran_multi(vFind,"Lastname","Company")
			vcFW = stritran(vcFW,"Last Name","Company")
		case vcChoiceF = "City"
			vcFW = stritran_multi(vFind,"Lastname","bill_city")
			vcFW = stritran(vcFW,"Last Name","City")
	end select
end if

%code%)

if varC_result <> "OK" then
	end
end if

          Ray, I'm not sure what the issue is, but your work around works. A very simple work around I might add. I didn't understand what you meant with your first post. Tunnel vision I guess. Anyways, thanks so much to G., John and yourself for your help. For anyone interested, I've included my test code for Alpha Sports to see how it works.

          Thanks again,

              The example I'm using is only to demonstrate what I'm trying to do. The live code is more complex than
              my demo.
              That does work in your example code, but when there are more controls, going back to prev from the OK won't work, you can change the control from which to go back.

              I just tested this, works similarly to your method without depending on the position of the OK control;-
              remove
              Code:
              	'note:  any changes to the OK button code may need to be copied to the next line
	ui_dlg_ctl_goto(dlg_title,"ok_button_label!OK")
	sys_send_keys("{SHIFT-TAB}")
              and change the if .. conditions to
              Code:
              	select
		case vcChoiceF = "Last Name"
			vcFW = vFind
			sys_send_keys("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}")

                Works great. I can't tell you how much time I spent on this and in the end, the answer has turned out to be so simple.

                Thanks Ray.

                  That's because simple solutions are much more time consuming - you wanted to simplify (eliminate the extra click)

                  I always tell clients that a complicated system could be much less costly than a simple one.

                    Hi Ron,
                    In your select case statement did you try adding sys_send_keys("TAB"} after each case with the number of tabs needed to reach the next control?
