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.

    Refreshing the Collapsible Navigation Pane in a TabbedUI

    I've got a TabbedUI configured with security setup and functioning in my app. Log on and display of user variables are displayed in the header of the TabbedUI.

    Once a user logs on, I'm displaying different buttons and hyperlinks depending on the logon credentials of the user in the collapsible pane of the TabbedUI.

    The problem is that the appropriate buttons do not display until the whole page is refreshed.

    I understand that the TabbedUI page is rendered before the user actually logs on and therefore the show or hide code for a particular TabbedUI Controls has already been run. In my case, that logic is comprised of arguments bound to session variables.

    Is there a way to refresh the DIV that encapsulates the TabbedUI controls contained in the collapsible button pane? I know that the DIV is initially rendered by the server and getting the client to "refresh" it is not exactly straightforward.

    I just can't get this to work. Must I use an Ajax call-back to read and then dump the innerHTML of that DIV to get it to "refresh"?

    Help please, I'm totally lost!

    Re: Refreshing the Collapsible Navigation Pane in a TabbedUI

    We have all been looking for this one for a while you can hide and show buttons on the initialize and on a full refresh but that closes out any tabs you already have open which is obviously not what you want. I think this one has never been sold to my knowledge. Maybe this is one for Selwyn and the Alpha crew to add directly to a tabbed ui as an option. Or a system event.

      Well, I figured this out. Ended up being fairly straightforward. Anyone interested in how I did it, let me know.

              I don't know what Bert did, but I take care of login outside of the tabbedui, and either go to the home page with a menu link to the tabbedui (if that's what the app warrants) or go directly to the tabbedui after login.

                Thank you, I do the same.

                What I am referring to is, how do you refresh the navigation panel to reflect changes with Show/hide expression?

                  I hope this is what we're looking for... close at least. Seems to work ok but I've only tested it a bit. This turned out to pretty very straight foward.

                  The scenario is that I have the login grid placed in the header of a tab ui page - my login grid is named "Login". I've got 3 buttons in the navigation section and each button displays a grid in a tab. Each navigation button has Show/Hide logic based on a session.__protected__userid variable.

                  I login with a userid and two of the buttons display - Grid1 and Grid2. I login with a different userid and the 3rd button - Grid3 displays by itself.

                  On the actual Grid1 that displays(when the Grid1 button is clicked) I have a field, LASTNAME, that has a Javascript onDblClick event. In the Server-Side XBasic section:

                  Code:
                  e.session.__protected__userid="a_different_userid"	
                  
                  serverside_a92074e4207e4a62bd918be1e5c3a418 = "var x = document.Login.submit();"
                  That's it. Your "serverside" stuff will be different.

                  This code resets the userid session variable and submits my "Login" form. If any grids are open, they close.

                  Now... on to refreshing the navigation bar without having the login component around.
