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.

    delete local storage

    I have a simple component with a list and detail view. This is implemented as a Phonegap app with offline storage. We don't want the users to edit the list items or even see them after the new records are synchronized. So I am trying to delete the list local storage after the sync.

    I'm calling this in the client side afterSynchronizeList event in the list control detail view system events. Here is the javascript function:

    Function lsclear() {
    if (dialog.list.SPECIFY_LIST_NAME.isDirty = false)
    var obj = {dialog.object}._ls_getData(lists:t);
    {dialog.object}._ls_deleteKeys(obj);
    }

    I'm unable to get this to work. Perhaps I'm not implementing it properly. Please criticize

    One thought without my development computer in front of me--if the rest of that code would work you need correct Javascript structure and syntax.
    function lsclear() {
    if (dialog.list.SPECIFY_LIST_NAME.isDirty==false) {
    var obj = {dialog.object}._ls_getData(lists:t);
    {dialog.object}._ls_deleteKeys(obj);}
    }

      Chris,
      Thank you for the comment. Are you saying the javascript isn't correct? I have a couple of other functions that are written very similarly that do work without the additional curly brackets. I was wondering because I'm unsure; if the event "afterSynchronizeList" is the correct or best place to call this function. Also wondering if I need to force a loose focus of the list records before calling it.

        if (dialog.list.SPECIFY_LIST_NAME.isDirty = false)
        please see chris' code, what you have is assignment, what needs is validation.(needs ==)
        and you need the {} after the verification.
        thanks for reading

          Thank you for chiming in. This (dialog.list.SPECIFY_LIST_NAME.isDirty = false) is used in the enable expressions for buttons. According to the Building Disconnected Applications document. I'll give it a try. I guess my javascript needs work.

            Re: delete local storage

            I think in attempts to be easier alphas confused a number of people, but the show/hide expressions are not written in true JavaScript so your example can't be reused in actual JavaScript. I don't have it in front of me but I wouldn't count on the dirty property syntax or method to be the same either.

              now it is more clear to me what you are trying to do. the property enable/disable for a button expression is what you have used to for activation of the rest of the javascript.
              as chris said those cannot be used in javascript. alpha converts them to real javascript when they compile the component to be used. since I am not in version 12 I won't know. there must be something that changed after synchronization. you should be able to tap into that and check and then act accordingly.

              if I have said too much, sorry for the intrusion.
              thanks for reading

                Thank you to Chris and Govindan,
                I'm obviously muddling my way through here but things are making sense now. I'll post if I get this working. Govindan you are not intruding but helping. Thank you for your valuable time.

                  If anyone was still interested I found the answer here: http://downloads.alphasoftware.com/A...DetailView.htm

                  An absolute must read for anyone doing local storage. Many secrets are kept in this document!!!!

                  Here is my revised function:

                  function lsclear() {
                  //delete local storage keys
                  var obj = {dialog.object}._ls_getData('lists:t');
                  {dialog.object}._ls_deleteKeys(obj);
                  //this clears the detail view
                  var lObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('TIC_LIST');
                  lObj.newDetailViewRecord();
                  }
