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: New List Control Checkbox Selector

    Get the rows with the <listObject>.getCheckedRows().

    You could then send them to an XBasic function which updates your table.

    If your List has a detail view you could get the rows... and then use the .updateTableRow() method to change the value... and then sync the List.

    Remember that only 2 out of the 8 List Checkbox functions work... the others have bugs. Alpha won't fix them, but you can fix the bugs yourself... see post #4 for the fix.

    Also note that if your List is not inside a PanelCard, the List will shift 1 pixel to the right when you select for the first time. It's a really nice function... but it's a mess and badly in need of fixing and testing.

      Re: New List Control Checkbox Selector

      Yep. Got the fix. Thanks for that. I'm able to check all the rows.

      Would this be it? It doesn't work. I have a Detail view on the list.

      Code:
      var listObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('ORDERITEMS');
      
      var chkValues = lObj.getCheckedValues();
      var pr = 1.49;
      
      listObj.updateTableRow(chkValues,{PRICE: pr});

        Re: New List Control Checkbox Selector

        You must loop through the checked rows... more like this...

        Code:
        var lObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('ORDERITEMS');
        var chkValues = lObj.getCheckedValues();
        var data = {};
        data.PRICE = 1.49;
        
        for(i=0;i<chkValues.length;i++){
        	lObj.updateTableRow(chkValues[i],data);
        }

          Re: New List Control Checkbox Selector

          Works great! Thanks. Now, to make my calculations. Currently I have this in a button which allows me to change the price, quantity, or discount. It then recalculates the total and updates the selected row with the new computed value. So, the calculation to make the new TOTAL has to happen on each row. We know the price, which would be the 1.49, and now need to pull the Discount and Quantity and then calculate the new TOTAL and insert it. I'm thinking this is easier than I think.

          Code:
          var lObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('ORDERITEMS');
          
          
          if(lObj.selection[0] != 'undefined') { 
          	lObj._selectedRow = lObj.selection[0];
          }
          
          lObj.updateListFromUXControls();
          var indx = lObj._selectedRow;
          var getTotals = lObj.getData(indx).TOTAL;
          var getSubTotals = lObj.getData(indx).SUBTOTALS;
          var getQty = lObj.getData(indx).QUANTITY;
          var getPrice = lObj.getData(indx).PRICE;
          var getDisc = lObj.getData(indx).DISCOUNT;
          var getSubTotal = (getQty * getPrice) - (((getQty * getPrice) * getDisc) / 100);
          
          lObj.updateRow(indx,{TOTAL: getSubTotal});

            Re: New List Control Checkbox Selector

            Ok. Almost there. I'm just having an issue pulling the value from the list. The 'var getQty = lObj.getData()QUANTITY;' lines are not working. The result is NaN.
            If I change the getSubTotal calculation to all numbers, it works. Variables, doesn't work.

            Code:
            function bulkUpdateRows() {
            
            var lObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('ORDERITEMS');
            var chkValues = lObj.getCheckedValues();
            
            var getQty = lObj.getData().QUANTITY;
            var getTotals = lObj.getData().TOTAL;
            var getSubTotals = lObj.getData().SUBTOTALS;
            var getPrice = lObj.getData().PRICE;
            var getDisc = lObj.getData().DISCOUNT;
            var getSubTotal = (getQty * 1.49) - (((getQty * 1.49) * getDisc) / 100);
            
            var data = {};
            data.PRICE = 1.49;
            var data2 = {};
            data2.TOTAL = getSubTotal;
            
            for(i=0;i<chkValues.length;i++){
            	lObj.updateTableRow(chkValues[i],data);
            }
            
            for(i=0;i<chkValues.length;i++){
            	lObj.updateTableRow(chkValues[i],data2);
            }
            
            
            }

              Re: New List Control Checkbox Selector

              There are a few problems here...

              .getData() requires a key or row.
              You're running 2 loops... where you only need one. Your data object can handle more than one data field. e.g.
              data.Price = 1.49;
              data.Total = getSubTotal;

              You want to move all your data collection (getData) and calcs inside the loop... otherwise you have no idea which row you're getting the data from.
              .getData() wants a row... and you have your rows in your chkValues array.

              Everything you get from the List is a string. Because you want to use that data in a calc, get it and then convert it to a number using parseInt and parseFloat... then use it in a calc.

                Got it. On the .getData() part, is mine working and all I need to do is the parseInt? Or do I need to figure out a key or row?

                  David, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to pull the values from the row. I understand when you say that the data collection has to be inside the loop, but not sure where to put it.

                      Re: New List Control Checkbox Selector

                      I would like to display a count of the number of rows in the list that have been checked. I do know how to get the count, but I am looking for an event that I can use to update the count visually on the screen.
                      The code to count the rows is:
                      var lObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('LIST1');
                      var _d = lObj._data;
                      var countCheckedBoxes = 0;
                      for (i=0;i<_d.length;i++){
                      if (_d[i]['__selected'] == true){
                      countCheckedBoxes = countCheckedBoxes + 1;
                      }
                      }
                      $('checkedRecords').innerHTML = countCheckedBoxes;
                      Ideally, it would be something like "onRowChecked" or "onRowUnchecked".
                      Is there any event that you know of like that?
                      Right now, I tie this javascript to the OnRowSelect of the list, but that is hardly elegant.

                      Thanks,

                        Re: New List Control Checkbox Selector

                        Each time you check or uncheck a row the List event onItemDraw fires for each row. When a row is checked you get a property named __selected with a value of true. The only time this property exists is when a row is checked. This __selected property is in data which is available in onItemDraw.

                        Because onItemDraw fires for every List row after you check or uncheck a row then you can count the rows checked by looking for __selected. If it's there, count it. You'd need to set up a global variable when the UX is rendered to hold the count and then update that variable for each row data containing __selected.

                          Is there an OnRowSelect event? Where is that? If there is I could see a problem using it because you don't necessarily select a row when checking or unchecking a row.

                            Penge,
                            I said that wrong, it is not OnRowSelect, it is onClick.
                            You are right on both counts, onItemDraw is the correct place to put the code, and onClick is NOT ideal, as you suspected.
                            Thanks,

                              In the new release, they added an onRowCheck list event. Has anyone used that or another list event to show/hide a container outside the list once a row is checked?

                                It depends a bit on the type of container you have... and how you want to show/hide it.

                                I'd probably use the {dialog.Object}.setControlDisplay() method since you probably want to test the row your're checking/unchecking and then use .setControlDisplay to show/hide.
