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.

    What Javascript Event Fires Every Time A UX Is Opened From A List?

    I have a list which opens a data-bound UX component. When the UX component opens, I check the value of a checkbox. Then I set another field based on the state of the checkbox.
    The code I have is this:

    Code:
    var checked = {dialog.Object}.getValue('SERVICE_STATE');
       if (checked){
    	{dialog.object}.setValue('STATE','FAIL');
       }
       else {
    	{dialog.object}.setValue('STATE','PASS');
       }
    This works fine but only the first time I open the UX component. If I close the component then open it again, or open a different record, it does not fire.

    I've had this in the Client-Side Javascript events OnRenderComplete and OnDialogInitialize but it only fires the first time I open the UX. I can't seem to find an event that works every time.
    What am I missing?

    in version 11 dialog, there is an event onDiaglogExecute that fires all the time, do they have it version 12 or moved it out?
    if they have it, will that work in this scenario?
    thanks for reading

      Are you running an Action Javascript to open the UX? If so, do you have "Use cached UX Component" turned on? If so, have a look at the in-line help for this property. If turned on, onDialogInitialize will only fire once, because a cached version is used. If turned off onDialogInitialize will fire each time the UX is opened.

      Remember that onDialogInitialize is a server-side event.

      As well, onRenderComplete and onInitializeComplete both fire all the time if caching is turned off. However, onInitializeComplete won't give you what you want because the data isn't there yet. onRenderComplete will.

      If you want to use Caching... then have a look at the Client-side event afterPopulateFromTable. This fires every time, even with caching turned on.

        Ahh, yes that was it David. I had 'use cached' turned on. Turned it off and now it works!
        Thanks, I've been scratching my head all afternoon on this

          I added additional info to a previous post so just to make sure I'll repeat it here. I knew there was an event that worked with Caching... but wasn't sure of it's name.

          If you want to use Caching... then have a look at the Client-side event afterPopulateFromTable. This fires every time, even with caching turned on.

              Yes, this is excellent INFO for sure. I set my MAIN session var "session.coid" in server-side "onDialogInitialize" and this is a SQL lookup to get the company_id so if I turn on pre-render and have use a local namespace for storage (persist and restore) and create a static HTML page with an application cache - are you saying that there is a chance that the session var set MAY NOT be set on re-loading the component?
              Or am I missing the point?

                onDialogInitialize (which is a server-side event) fires the first time the UX is opened.

                If caching is enabled, onSynchronizeDialog will fire on subsequent opens. The server-side equivalent event is onSynchronize.

                  Interesting... thanks Sarah. I had to read that a couple of times to understand it. onSynchronizeDialog does not fire the first time the UX is instantiated. It only fires if the UX has already been instantiated. It's an interesting event because you get 2 pararmeters... the Javascript object... and synchronizeType. In my tests I see that synchronizeType can be "editListRow"... but could detail what other values this parameter might be? Thanks
