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.

    How do I set focus in Property Grid Style Xdialog

    I would like to set the focus to the item "vLastname" and move to next item by pressing enter. I've tried some of the examples in Learning Xdialog, but can't get 'set the focus' or use the 'enter' key to work.

    Code:
    'Create an XDialog dialog box to prompt for parameters.
    DIM SHARED varC_result as C
    dim vFirstName as c
    dim vSuffix as c
    dim vSuffixList as c

    dim vNewClntid as c = default var->clntid

    Re: How do I set focus in Property Grid Style Xdialog

    You can set the focus by putting

    {startup=init}

    in your Xdialog definition as in here:
    Code:
    varC_result = ui_dlg_box("MDC Prospect System",<<%dlg%
    {startup=init}
    {Windowstyle=Gradient Horizontal Top}
    Then in your Xdialog events you can put
    Code:
    if a_dlg_button="init" then
    	a_dlg_button=""
    	ui_dlg_ctl_goto("MDC Prospect System","ps1")
    	sys_send_keys("{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}")  
    end if
    I don't think you can change the inner workings of the property grid regarding the use of the TAB vs ENTER key. At least, I haven't been able to do it! Putting a trap for the {on_key} event in the Xdialog seems to interfere with the property grid.

      Thank you. That's what I was looking for.
