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.

    State Variable Passing To An Embedded UX Component

    I have a textbox control named HoldLoginValue in my login UX and in the OnLogin Server side event I have the below code to set that value. I have the main mobile app UX embedded in my login UX. How do I get that HoldLoginValue to pass into the embedded main mobile app UX so I can filter on it? I want to have HoldLoginValue to be a state variable.

    dim CurrentUserName as c
    dim CheckUserExist as c
    dim sql as c
    dim args as sql::arguments
    Dim cn as sql::connection
    dim sqlCommand as c
    flag = cn.open("::name::connection")


    if e.username <> ""
    dim args as sql::Arguments
    args.set("EMAIL",e.username)
    HoldLoginValue = sql_lookup("::name::connection", "table", "EMAIL = :EMAIL","pvvid",args)
    end if


    'To capture Last Login date and time
    '0: Initialize connections
    dim globalcn as sql::connection
    flag = globalcn.open("::name::connection")

    '1: Log entry into system
    dim sql as c
    dim args as sql::arguments
    args.add("CurrentUserName",a5ws_getcurrentuser()) 'Gets logged in user
    flag = globalcn.execute("UPDATE table SET LAST_LOGIN = getdate() where email = :CurrentUserName",args)
    flag = globalcn.Execute(sql, args)

    'x: Clean u
    globalcn.FreeResult()
    globalcn.Close()
    delete globalcn

    Try this...

    e._state.HoldLoginValue = HoldLoginValue

    These comments are at the end of the text in the onLogin event...

    'You can set 'state' variables in this event. The value of any state variables will be available in all subsequent ajax callbacks.
    'To set a state variable:
    'e._state.myvar1 = "value1"
    'e._state.myvar2 = "value2"

      Re: State Variable Passing To An Embedded UX Component

      Ok, does e._state.HoldLoginValue pass into the Embedded UX Component? If so, in a List Component do I filter based on e._state.HoldLoginValue or do I need to set up and agrument in the list and set that Run-Time argument equal to e._state.HoldLoginValue?

        Re: State Variable Passing To An Embedded UX Component

        I believe client-side state variables belong to the {dialog.Object}. You'd have to do something like this in the child component...

        Code:
        var pObj = {dialog.Object}.getParentObject();
        var HoldLoginValue = pObj.stateInfo['HoldLoginValue'];
        {dialog.Object}.setValue('HoldLoginValue',HoldLoginValue,false);
        and then base your filter argument on that HoldLoginValue control. I don't think you can set up an argument based on a state varaible.

          You mean this code has to run in the On-Load Complete Javascript in the embedded object, that is embedded in the login UX Component? Then the HoldLoginValue variable is available in the Main UX Component (Embedded UX) whenever I want to call it?

            Do I place this in the on-load complete javascript in the embedded UX Component?

              I'd put it into the Client-side onRenderComplete event of the Child UX.

                Re: State Variable Passing To An Embedded UX Component

                I added that to the onRenderComplete event in the embedded UX control. In the List Control I have this filter statement ID = :HoldLoginValue. The error saids argument values were referenced in the sql query but were not found in the argument list. Seems it doesnt recognize that argument value in the filter, how do I call HoldLoginValue in the Filter Statement in the List Control?

                  You need to create an Argument in the same UX where you List resides. You can do this in a couple of place.
                  In the List Control, Data Source tab, the very first property is Arguments. Open that and create a new argument. I tend to name things so I know what I'm dealing with, so I'd create an argument with the name argHoldLoginValue, data type Character, Get argument value from is set to Set value at Run-time, and then for the Value you will select the UX Control that holds the HoldLoginValue.

                  The same Arguments dialog can be accessed from the UX Properties and from the UX Controls section... from the Menu dropdown (beside the Mobile checkbox).

                  Remember that all this stuff... the onRenderComplete, the drawing the of List... it's all happening fast and all over the place. It may be that you need to set your List to "Delay render till explicit refresh" and then in OnRenderComplete perform a .refreshListData() on the List. This would allow the UX to settle down and ensure the argument value is in place before the List tries to use it.

                    In the drop down for Value (under Set Value at RunTime) it doesnt show the UX Control for HoldLoginValue. That UX Control is in my Login UX, whereas the List Control is in my App UX that is embedded in the Login UX. Should it show up in the drop down list, or do I just type in HoldLoginValue?

                      Re: State Variable Passing To An Embedded UX Component

                      You have... or should have... this code in your embedded UX...

                      Code:
                      var pObj = {dialog.Object}.getParentObject();
                      var HoldLoginValue = pObj.stateInfo['HoldLoginValue'];
                      {dialog.Object}.setValue('HoldLoginValue',HoldLoginValue,false);
                      This code reaches into the parent UX, gets the value sitting in the parent state var "HoldLoginValue", and sets that value into the embedded UX control "HoldLoginValue".

                      The argument can then get that value from that control.

                      If you don't have a control named "HoldLoginValue" in your embedded UX... then create one. You can always set it's client-side show/hide expression to 1=2 to hide it after you have things working.

                        I have that code in the onRenderComplete event on client side in the embedded UX, and I have a HoldLoginValue text box in the embedded UX. However, the list control isnt filtering. In getParentObject(); do I have to put the name of the parent UX within the () ?

                          It appears that the HoldLoginValue has the correct value but the List Control isnt filtering on that value for some reason.

                            Add a refreshListData to your onRenderComplete event. Your List is rendering before the HoldLoginValue has been set.

                            Code:
                            var pObj = {dialog.Object}.getParentObject();
                            var HoldLoginValue = pObj.stateInfo['HoldLoginValue'];
                            {dialog.Object}.setValue('HoldLoginValue',HoldLoginValue,false);
                            {dialog.object}.refreshListData('YourListNameGoesHere');

                              I inserted that but it still isnt filtering the list. Like I said, it shows that HoldLoginValue is the correct value. In arguments in the list control, I have an argument called argHoldLoginValue that is numeric data type then set at runtime. In filter on the list control I have ID = :argHoldLoginValue
