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.

    Filter List Control Based on field in previous Panel Card (also PhoneGap Shell Plug)

    Hi Everyone,

    Hoping someone had a tip on a panel card/list control question.

    Panel Card "A" has a textbox with the customer ID. When panel card "B" is activated by clicking a button on panel card "A", I want the list control on the "B" panel to show all of the addresses filtered by the customer ID from panel A. So in a nutshell, how would I filter the list control on panel card B based on a value in panel card A? When the user clicks the button to navigate to panel card B should I set a session variable with the customer ID? Or is there a better way?

    Also, if you are building a phonegap application take the time to get the Shell working. It saves you a TON of time by no having to compile your application each time. Here is a link to the Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h70F8xziz1Q

    Thanks,

    Scott

    Scott have you read the help on this? The primary Key Value of List A will be returned when you click or tap on the row in the list (or a button or whatever), you set an argument based on the the value of the ListA, then the select statement of ListB needs to be filtered against the argument, e.g. where ListB.FieldThatsThePrimaryKeyOfListA = :ListA then set the Has parent options in ListB to Has Parent, and nominate the fields where requested (bit of a trap here you need to look for the smart field in the far right). And thats it.

      I don't think there's a List Parent/Child setup here. Just a Textbox on PC A and a List on PC B which is filtered on the value from the Textbox.

      Scott, a UX component has an Arguments property which is global to the UX. It is accessible from the UX properties... and... from any List Control. You create an argument... e.g. argCustId... and you can set it's data type and Argument Binding.

      The Argument Binding can be "Set value at Run-time" and this setting gives you a "Value" dropdown which is a list of pretty much all the "input" type controls in your UX... including your Textbox control. You select your Textbox control and your Argument is now established.

      You then use that Argument in your List Select statement or filter. The argument syntax is the same as everywhere else in Alpha... :argCustId.

      Depending on what's going on with your UX and List setup, you may need to use the .refreshListData() method.

        Well text box or List, the action is to set an argument and filter against it - good spotting David, must admit I go through these quickly as I'm always under the pump for clients, it's getting more difficult to contribute here.

          Hi David and Pete,

          Thanks for the tip - that is exactly what I needed. Panel A is just a text box, no list control. Understanding that I can set an argument in the UX was the missing link.

          Cheers,

          Scott
