Icetips Products: Icetips Xplore: Using hotfields
2003-03-12 -- Brian Staff
 
Newsgroups: comp.lang.clarion If there are any HOT fields on a browse window, Xplore assumes that they may be needed as locator fields when the browse is sorted by that column field. Hence, that field then gets used by the locator class and locators are always cleared when scrolling take splace in the browse. It's simple to get around the problem. In the controls that contain the HOT fields, just modify the USE variable to be something like this: USE(FieldX,,?YourOwnName) Brian Staff (Phoenix) =================== For those of you that use Xplore and are running C55H you will probably know about the filter problem, and if you look on the newsgroups you will find a fix in ABQUERY.CLW. We have been running this fix but a customer has reported a problem when performing a user filter using CONTAINS, it doesn't work. So, to fix this load ABQUERY.CLW and scroll down to the QUERYCLASS.GETLIMIT procedure; In this procedure you will find the following snippet of code: IF Value[1] = '^' ! When the carat is the second character i.e. *^ CaseLess = 1 Value = CHOOSE (Length = 1, '', UPPER(Value[2:Length])) END You need to change it too: IF Value[1] = '^' ! When the carat is the second character i.e. *^ CaseLess = 1 Value = UPPER(Value[2:LEN(Value)]) ! Value = CHOOSE (Length = 1, '', UPPER(Value[2:Length])) END Seems to work for us and hasn't broken anything to our knowledge!
