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.

    List Control and Video Player

    I have a list control that filters out based on a argument value that is set based on which user logs in. Within the filter list, I want when the user clicks on one of the items in the list to pull another panel card and play a video that is based on a ID that is associated with that item.

    In the List Control On Click event I have:

    {dialog.Object}.setValue('ID_VIDEO',this.value[0]);
    {dialog.object}.panelSetActive('VIDEOP',true);

    and then in VIDEOP control I have this.value[0] as the default value.

    It isnt playing the video, it acts like it is not setting the URL.

    I am not sure whether its not setting the url because the list is doing a filter first on an argument and then when the user clicks on one of the items in the filter list, it needs to filter on another ID that is associated with the item?

    Any ideas?

      It doesn't look like ID_VIDEO is actually a URL, is it?

      Perhaps you could put a text control on your UX then populate it using by adding something like this to your list click event:

      {dialog.Object}.setValueFrom('textbox','list::list1::ID_VIDEO');

      Then you could see what you are actully passing into the video player.

        I put this in the OnFocus Javascript event where ID_VIDEO was located. It showed nothing was passed in. Actually that made me realize that the video url is in another table than what the list control is filtering. Is the best way to do this is to call an XBasic function in the on click event in the list control to pull that url from another table?

          Steven,

          I was recently playing around with videos and list controls myself. The way I did it was using the onClick event in the list control which then runs an action javascript event "Video Player Control Actions".
          There you can set 'Method for specifying video id to play" as 'Read HTML5 url's from a list control'

          Take a look at my recent post here ... https://www.alphasoftware.com/alphaf...deoPlayer-Path
          There's a basic example attached to the last post in that thread.

            Actually, I have set up a textbox called ID to hold the value when the item is clicked in the list. I am trying to do a AJAX callback in the on click event of the list control to get the URL from the other table using an XBasic function. I am running into a problem though, I think all I need to do is an args.set to set based on the textbox ID value. How would I do that? Is the code args.set('currentid',ID); So that currentid holds the textbox ID value?
