You shouldn't have to. We'll look into this and try to determine why this would be a problem.

Some people agree. Others think it should always pop to the first element on the form. Others think it should pop to the first element on the form, but only if you are adding a new record. Etc...

We'll see if tab pages are causing some sort of odd focus behavior.

I agree. The current behavior is that the cursor moves to the first element when adding records and stays where it is when updating records. Clearly, tab pages are interfering with that behavior. We'll track it down.

Erika,

Thanks for looking at these issues. I'll run a test on the "jumping cursor" and get back with you.

In the meantime, I have another bug to report thats been haunting me since before 1.0.4 was released.

Edit: To summarize the below, combo box 'choices' won't go away when deleted.

My combo boxes (bound and unbound) seems to "grab" choices that has been deleted from other combo boxes while in designer.

For example. I have 2 combo boxes that are unbound. Somehow, when I go into preview mode and drop down the box, it is filled with LE names from my unbound check boxes from another form (same database)

I went back into edit the form and deleted all the extra choices in the drop down box, saved, then went into preview mode....still there.

Went back into edit the form, this time deleted the unbound LE, saved, exited, previewed. Now ALL the choices that were in the first box (correct and incorrect data) have moved to another combo box on the same form.

Even after deleting all the combo boxes from the form,saving, preview, going back to add 1 combo box (without adding any choices), save, preivew....its full of all the choices I've been trying to delete.

Any workaround for this?

Steve

The form is 'fairly' new, but the db is rather old. Please tell me there is a different solution other than starting from scratch!

Steve

Thanks Erika,

I'm sending it now to your attention. No password is needed.

The form is called Photo Viewer, the combo boxes are named Image and Viewer.

Thanks very much,

Steve
edit: the form is called PHoto Editor.

I made a copy of my application and deleted and renamed some forms and the combo box bug showed up again. (This time, in my new copy, not in the original)

Looks like I got a remedy but not a cure. Will this issue plague me unless I rebuild from scratch?

Also, I was impressed to see that MOST of my programming changed as needed after making a copy of a form. However, some name changes were not done automatically and I had to fix them after the copy. Should I report this as a bug, or is it impossible to make a copy 100% error proof?

Thanks,
Steve

Erika, thanks for the response.

The copy I made is from the db that Ray fixed for me. The combo box is picking up some stray answers (other LE names), different from when Ray fixed it. I did not revert back to an old db. Shall I send in the new app?

During the 'copy' process, I noticed that the event names had changed so I assumed all relevant programming had changed also. I was VERY impressed.

Now I know to go look for other changes that may be necessary.

Thanks,
Steve

Good point, but I dont think so. If I didnt reconcile Rays file, then my original app would still have 'broken' combo boxes (the wrong answers were impossible to delete), but they dont. Ray's fix is still holding fine.

I just copied my app and copied some forms, but I cant get this error to reproduce.

I'll try to delete the 'afflicted' combo box and add new ones to see if this will help.

I'll report back if there is a still a problem.

Thanks for your help.
Steve

I still have the one you sent before. Let me look at it and see if there is another piece floating around. Same form as before?

Ah, that would be the problem. I only cleaned out the one Form (Photo Editor). I'll clean out Category Editor also.

Give me a few minutes...

Shoot. It's already on its way back to you.

Okay, I'll clean out the other apps tomorrow. Is it clear which forms are the problem?

Darn. I was trying not to clear more than was absolutely necessary, but I may not be able to be so surgical. Ah well, I'll take a look at the current apps tomorrow.

Erika,

Please also take a look at why I cant run a Universal search in the RugStudio app, Category Editor Form.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

I see what's happening with your combo boxes and it's entirely my fault. I'm cleaning out your Forms, but be aware there's a bug which is now fixed for the next release. For the current release, if you need to delete a combo box or list box which has previously been saved, follow these steps:

1. Delete the choices from the element.
2. Save the layout.
3. Delete the element itself.

I'll be adding this to the workarounds page. My apologies for the aggravation.
