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.

    Saving Data to the Wrong Record after {dialog.object}.refreshListData();

    I have a list control in a UX.

    The list control uses a MySQL table.

    Pre-Release Build 4667-4991

    I am using {dialog.object}.refreshListData(); with the option keepFocusOnCurrentSelection = true.

    If, after refreshing the list data, a control is edited, and the action listObj.updateListFromUXControls(); is executed, the data is submitted to the first row in the list, instead of the selected row.

    Here is a video to demonstrate this https://www.screencast.com/t/ZwoM6qwUwZ

    The attached file contains the component and a dump file from the table.

    This looks like an issue. It would be my understanding that keeping focus on the current selection should make that row current... active. I've run this in 4642 with the same results. You should report it.

    In the meantime... you can do this...

    In the List Control onSelect event...

    Code:
    {dialog.Object}.__currRow = this.value;
    Then, get into your Refresh Data button action, and choose Text mode - to convert the action to Javascript. Change the code to this...

    Code:
    var options = {
    	setFocusToValue: {dialog.Object}.__currRow
    };
    {dialog.object}.refreshListData('MARKETING_LIST_TEST',options);
    So... instead of using the keepFocusOnCurrentSelection option, use the setFocusToValue option. We're saving the current key value in the List onSelect event, and using it here.

      I will send in a bug report.

      Your work-around, using the setFocusToValue option, is a great solution.

      Thank you!

        Bug report has been submitted.

        In trying to determine why this problem has occurred in some, but not all of my UXs, I discovered that it is related to the list control setting Allow Null Selection.

        If the list is set to allow null selection, this problem does not occur.

          I looked at that as well, but, Allow NULL selection shouldn't affect the refresh option. Here is what I believe is happening...

          With Allow NULL selection turned on, the List gets refreshed, the keepFocusOnCurrentSelection fires, and then nothing else happens... all is good.
          With Allow NULL selection turned off, the List gets refreshed, the keepFocusOnCurrentSelection fires, and then the 1st row in the List is set Active, although it doesn't show as in focus. The class .listItemSelected is still attached to that previous current selection... as it should be... but the actual active row has been changed from current to 1st.

            This is fixed in the latest pre-release.
