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.

    Wheel Mouse

    Is there a problem with using wheel mice in an application, If I open a form and scroll down with my mouse, the complete form scrolls in the window. Is there any way to avoid this.

    The trick, I think, is what has focus when you scroll. If you have an embedded browse, and are "inside" the browse, the wheel scrolls well.

      "the complete form scrolls in the window. "

      I think I understand what you want but Alpha is not set up as a web page so it's all or none. The web version of Alpha may have that capability.

      Knowing what you can achieve will not become reality until you imagine and explore.

        RE: Wheel Mouse

        The "web version" is just a server and your application is a series of web pages. So any scrolling would be up to the web browser you are using.

        But as Martin pointed out above, it is a matter of what object has focus. This is as true in a web browser as it is in Alpha Five.

          Lenny,

          Just curious as to why if the form is set to a certian size, the form can still scroll indefinatly using the wheel??

          I would think if nothing else the form would stop scrolling if the size was lets say 6 inches.

            RE: Wheel Mouse

            This is very true but when the form opens, if anything else has focus, the whole form scrolls. Any other ideas

                I have this problem with forms scrolling also. It happens even when the form is set to not have scroll bars. This really is a bothersome bug and I haven't seen any explanation for why it happens or if it can be fixed.

                The problem is that you get situations where a user scrolls a form down so the relevant data doesn't appear on the screen, then as far a they are concerned the program is broken and it sucks ergo I suck and shouldn't make them use this when the old DOS (A4v6) did not have this problem, and why am I making their like difficult. (This is purely a hypothetical situation since I haven't deployed A5 yet but I am quite sure this will happen if this isn't fixed.)

                If this is a limitation of windows, then so be it, just tell us. If it's an Alpha problem, I would hope it would be fixed but if it can't I would at least like to know.

                If this is part of the upgrade for 5.5could we have some sort of time frame for planning purposes.

                I really don't want to seem unreasonable about this issue, but it has been brought up many times, and as far as I know never addressed by Alpha.

                Please, what's going on here??!

                Thanks,
                Russ
