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: Repeating Section Row Number Issue

    Yes, the sample UX is working now that I cleared the data binding even though there was no binding to begin with. When I cleared the original UX and then re-mapped, it did not work.

      I spoke too soon. I went back to the sample UX again and now it is giving me the wrong row number again. I tried removing the data bindings again and that had no effect.

        Re: Repeating Section Row Number Issue

        David, I am seeing the problem in your component.
        Try setting the focus first on the control by changing your javascript to the following:

        Code:
        {dialog.Object}.setFocus('SALES_CODE');
        var RowNum = {dialog.Object}.getRepeatingSectionActiveRow('INVDETAILS');
        alert('Row # = '+RowNum);

          What data back end are you using?

          What changes were made to the sample UX between it working and not working?

            Can't see a need to use setFocus... it seems something else is going on. Focus is already set to the Textbox Lookup.

              Stephen,

              I put the set focus code in and still get the same thing. Thanks for trying though, I had not thought about setting the focus first.

              David,
              I am using MySQL as a backend. The only change I made was to remove the data binding even though there was none and then went to working preview. It worked fine. Then after a while I went back into the same component and just tried it again and it didn't work that time. I removed the data binding again and it still didn't work.

                Not that the back end matters... since your sample isn't data bound... just curious.

                It would be interesting if you posted your non-working UX again. I'd like to see if it carries the same error as the first time you posted.

                  Re: Repeating Section Row Number Issue

                  This morning I opened the sample UX that I had submitted and it worked. So I went to the original UX and it did not work, but I have now discovered that if you type the value you want in the Sales Code field rather than actually clicking on it within the drop down list or you click the drop down arrow on the field first and then type the value you want (causing the list to filter as you type) and then either hit the tab button or enter button on the keyboard or just simply click into another field on the same row then it will work properly. Only if you click within the Sales Code field and then just type the value you want and then cause the Sales Code field to lose focus will it return Row 1 every time. Not sure what this means but I found it to be an interesting new wrinkle. Thanks again for taking a look into this.

                    Re: Repeating Section Row Number Issue

                    I have found a fix (sort of). I don't think this should be necessary but at least it works. I put in code on the On Mouse Over event on the repeating section itself to set the focus to the sales code field on the first row.

                    Code:
                    {dialog.Object}.setFocus('SALES_CODE',1);
                    Then when I go to a different row and click in the sales code field and type the value that I want and hit the tab button to move to the next field, I now get the correct row # returned to me every time. There may be a better way to accomplish this so if anyone has any suggestions on that, please let me know. Again thank you to everyone who looked into this issue. I'm going to publish this UX with this mouse over code for now.

                      I'm not really sure what's happening with your UX component that this is necessary. I managed to make it work by adding the setFocus on the onChange event yet it didn't work for you.
                      David K says this shouldn't be necessary and his knowledge of coding is much better than mine, so I suspect he is correct. Still, it is very odd that you have to do this at all.
                      Glad you at least figured out some sort of a solution.
