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.

    V10 Frames Question

    How do you layout a form so the frames within a grid are side by side in a grid as seen in the LiquidForms video

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Not sure if I understand you correctly so two possibilities come to mind

    1. if you refering to putting two components side by side, the fiddle with the 'Break' property of the components.

    2. if you are refering to moving grid fields around, then I beleive you have to use the freeform layout.

    Cheers
    Chris

      I haven't seen the Liquid Forms video but I've been playing around with Freeform Template and using nested tables to simulate frames. I've never really been a fan of frames so I usually try to avoid them.

      Attached is something I'm working on now...granted my first real attempt at Alpha but if you look at the Transaction grid you'll see how I was able to set it up.

      Hope this helps.

        Frames in V10 are not the conventional frames used in web design, they are merely a bounding box around a group of fields.

        To get the frames side by side you need to set the Break property to None in the first or preceding frame.

        The easiest way to do it is to put the fields in a container and do the same as you would for frames i.e set the Break property to None.

        Hope this helps

          Didn't realize that Frames were any different than "web frames"...gonna have to revisit.

            Yeah - I think "Frame" was an unfortunate choice of a term.

              i have attached an image of what i have managed to achieve using frames, containers, breaks and also left space.

              my first attempt but looks pretty cool for a web component and looks great i the web page

                Thanks for your input with this issue. I played with all the areas talked about in the thread above and attached the screen shot. I would love to move the phone numbers to the right of the account information, if that�s possible

                Thanks again

                    melvin,

                    you need to put 'no break' in the frame just before the contact numbers. you could also have the frame with the contact numbers, border sytle layout as float right or put a value in left space to get the desired distance from the previous frame.

                      Richard, that did the trick, I can now place information anywhere within the grid by putting the fields into a container and fine tuning the placement of the container.

                      Many thanks to all for your assistance
