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.

    List Navigation with Cascading Lists

    I have a simple UX with a parent list, and 2 child lists each that cascade from the parent.

    It all works great except when I added List Navigation Icons to the UX, and set them to navigate the parent list, I get no cascading action.

    Here is a video.... http://screencast.com/t/icAkqoqO

    Add the refresh cascading lists method to each of the list record navigation controls. E.g.

    Code:
    {dialog.object}._listNavigateRecord('LIST1','next');
    {dialog.object}._listRefreshCascadingLists('LIST1');
    This will refresh any list depending on LIST1

        Re: List Navigation with Cascading Lists

        Hi Dave,

        I have the same question but I'm clearly not as smart as PizzaDude ...

        I understand the use of the two lines of code, I just don't know what "list record navigation controls" means.

        I have three lists all created using the new List Genie, located in a Panel Layout with three Panel Cards, each card containing a single list

        LST_SERVICES is in PanelCard_1 and is the Parent to LST_RATE via srv_guid = rte_fk_services, and it also has the only Search feature, because once the user selects a Service, the items displayed in LST_RATE described below are filtered to the selected Service. Every Service can have one (at least) or more Rates.

        LST_RATE is in PanelCard_2 and is the Parent to LST_SP_RATE via rte_guid = spr_fk_rate. There is no Search feature for this list (at the moment). Every Service has to have at least one Rate (when a new Service is created, a new Rate is also created and has a default value of $0.00, as well as a new SP Rate for Service's first Rate). When a Rate is selected, the items displayed in LST_SP_RATE described below are filtered to the selected Rate.

        LST_SP RATE is in PanelCard_3 and is the child to LST_SP_RATE. Every Service, through it's first Rate must have a corresponding SP Rate.

        All three Lists have the standard set of CRUD buttons, including the Synchronize.

        I don't have any First|Next|Previous|Last navigation buttons, so what "navigation controls" should I look for?

        Thanks for any help you can provide.

        Kevin

          Hey Kevin,

          In the Defined Controls section there are two controls:

          List-Navigation Buttons
          List-Navigation Icons

          which, when used, first pop up a dialog asking if you want to navigate a Page at a time... or a Record at a time.

          Selecting one Record at a time will put the appropriate method into all four of the control's onClick event.

          It's in these newly added control's onClick event that you add the refresh cascading list method.

            Hi Dave,

            Thanks for the response, unfortunately I've used the Genie and with the Search part, for real estate reasons, I'm currently not using any navigation controls because once the search is done the information displayed in the list is relatively small and the user would most like just scroll up and down either with a mouse or in a mobile app, with touch.

            Sooooooo ... when I click on the Parent list (LST_SERVICES) refreshes its child, LST_CLIENT_RATE but the child of LST_CLIENT_RATE, LST_SP_RATE isn't refreshed unless I click in the LST_CLIENT_RATE list. Not terrible, but not what I'm hoping to accomplish. Any other ideas of where to put that code?

            I tried it in the onClick of the LST_SERVICES and onClick of the LST_CLIENT_RATE, but it's not automatic and it was refreshing before I put the code in the onClick methods anyways.

            Thanks for any help you can provide ...

              If you put {dialog.object}._listRefreshCascadingLists(' LST_CLIENT_RATE'); into the onClick event of LST_SERVICES, then LST_SP_RATE doesn't refresh?

              If it doesn't try using one of the "data loading" events of LST_CLIENT_RATE... such as onPopulate.

              You could try {dialog.object}._listRefreshCascadingLists(' LST_CLIENT_RATE'); in there or go directly after LST_SP_RATE with the refreshListData method.
