Combo Box Bug?
Oct 15th, 2004 at 3:06am
Print Post Print Post  
I'm uncertain if this issue has been addressed yet. I'm having trouble getting On Element Immediate Change programming to execute with combo boxes. It appears to be a bug.
I fill an empty combo box with a value from the drop-down. To me, that's immediate change. However, no programming executes. Is anyone else having this problem, or am I missing something?

Thanks

PianoMan,

I feel your pain. I've wrestled with those things for hours ans hours. Erika pointed out that there IS a bug related to the programming firing when its not supposed to. She said it has been fixed in the next version 1.0.5 due out very soon.

Do a search and you'll see more details on the bug I've experienced.

Steve

No, you're not "missing something". This is something I'd like to see happen as well. It is, however (as far as I know), unrelated to the problems Steve has been experiencing. The on element change event does fire if an item in the combo's pulldown has been selected - even if focus does not move off of the combo box. This can be used to substitute for the immediate change event in this instance.

The immediate change should also fire when typing in a combo, but doesn't until the pulldown appears or focus goes to the pulldown. I'll see what I can do.

Mark,
Well, I tried a simple on element change program for the combo box, and when I selected an item, it did not fire. Here's the code:
If NOT @IsBlank(ComboBox)
{
     If @IsBlank(LE4)
     {      
     LE4 =  ComboBox
     Clear(ComboBox)
     }
     ELSE
     {
     LE4 += @NewLine() + ComboBox
     Clear(ComboBox)
     }
}
Undecided

Hello Jon,

The code looks to be correct, I copied it and ran it here in 1.0.4. Could you send support the database so we can have a look at it?

Jon,

Your code is running fine. Select "Install" from your list then select "Repair" from your list. When you select Repair, Install shows up in LE4 and if you hit Tab, Both of them will appear in LE4.

I just tested it in 1.0.5 and as soon as you select an item from the list it will appear in LE4

Looks like we're getting combo boxes de-bugged. That's good news.
However, I am having trouble getting on element exit programming to fire when I exit to a subform. I tab out of the element, which tabs me into the subform, and the programming does not fire!?!?
