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.

    Radio Buttons

    I am trying to figure out how to implement a radio button that would allow a person to choose a product to report on, in combination with the dialog box that comes up in this xbasic script.

    I got help with this before and this script here basically allows a user to choose beginning and ending months and years to report on, and then in the last it allows the user to choose a well name from the dialog box, and then the report is previewed.

    So, I need to figure out how to incorporate the radio button which I thought would be the easiest way to have the user choose what product to report on. the choices are Oil, Gas, or All Products, and I have put a radio button box on the form, and have copied a script out of the xbasic manual and changed the choices. I have attached the script to the "On Arrive" event and it tabs to the radio button box after the beginning and ending months are chosen but before the user chooses the well name.

    The thing is as it stands right now, a dialog box comes up instead of seeing the dot beside the choice I make. So, I am sure it is just that I cannot understand how to use this feature from reading just the xbasic manual.

    My script so far aside from the radio button actions are shown below:




    ''XBasic
    dim welllisting(1024) as c
    dim inputf as p
    dim name as c
    dim global wellname as c
    dim global namex as c
    dim i as n
    dim prevname as c
    dim currname as c
    prevname=""
    'Set initial values to null (empty) strings
    currname=""
    inputf=table.open("mmsprp",file_ro_shared)
    inputf.index_primary_put("Property")
    i=1
    inputf.fetch_first()
    prevname=alltrim(inputf.new_prprty)
    'Set prevname var to first wellname in list
    while .not. inputf.fetch_eof()
    if prevnamecurrname then
    'currname is not same as prevname, so
    welllisting(i)=inputf.new_prprty
    ' add it to the array. Otherwise don't.
    prevname=currname
    'Assign value of currname to prevname, since
    end if
    'it has now been added to the array. If next
    inputf.fetch_next()
    'record has same value, it will be skipped.
    currname=alltrim(inputf.new_prprty)
    'put trimmed value of new_prprty in var
    i=i+1
    end while
    name=ui_get_list_array("Select your well",1,"welllisting")
    namex=substr(name,1,25)
    inputf.close()
    if name"" then
    'user did not cancel, so
    report.preview("Report by Well Name")
    'ok to preview report. Otherwise don't
    end if
    end

    RE: Radio Buttons

    Bruce,

    I've read your message twice and don't understand either the context of what you're attempting, or what it is exactly that you need help with.

    Perhaps a couple of general comments will help.

    1) If you only have three choices for the product type and you want the user to pick one of the three, and you don't want to display the choices except while the script is running, I'd use ui_get_list() to popup the choices and let the user pick one. I suppose it's possible you're using ui_get_radio(), but so far you haven't said so. If so, it should work the same as ui_get_list().

    2) If you prefer to have the radio buttons on the form all the time, then my script would simply check the setting from the radio button object instead of tabbing to it. There's no reason to set focus on the radio button object just to read the value selected by the user.
