Bharak,
thank you for posting. This is what i would like to have.

Currently i encounter some small problems. Should i post it in this thread or should i open a new one? But maybe it's better to have it in one thread.

I test some basic commands, just to see how it works..

Bound to.... This is the field name right?
Can change the field name? Or should i delete the field and add a new one?

What happened?
I added an element (Text Box, Bind Element to "New Date Field")
Afterwards i saw that the label was wrong typed (Entr Date Box instead of Entry Date Box).
I changed the Label to "Entry Date Box"
But in the Property Editor Drop Down i see
only "Entr Date Box".
How can i change this to the correct name?

I mean to have the field names equal to the labels...

Manage Database ----> DatabaseName ----> Managefields --->Change Field Name --->fill the new Name --->  Add transaction to Batch ---> Run Batch

The above should change the field's name and it will be reflected in the property Viewer.

That worked fine.
The property editor now shows the desired field names.

Only the Program editor shows not the updated fields.
(Still Entr Date Box instead of Entry_Date_Box)

There are 3 things, namely

Label
Element Name
Field Name

It is Element name is displayed in Program Editor

You can change the Element Name in Property Editor

Select Element by clicking it ---> Property Editor -> Other tab ---> Name --> <F5> will bring on current Name ----> Type over the new Name -->Press the arrow on the right side end to take the effect ----> view the change of Name in property viewer ----> the name change will be also reflected in the Program Editor.

Just to clarify the basic:

Element Label and Name deals with Layout or Forms while fields is to database. One application can have multiple databases and one database can have multiple forms.

As far as I know all commands in layout deals with Element Names except @XResultset ( ) commands, that works directly on database and hence uses field name.

0 - Default position (100 pixels left of the right top edge of the main window).
1 - Absolute screen position of xpos and ypos.
2 - xpos and ypos relative to the top left corner of the main window.
3 - xpos and ypos relative to the top left corner of the form's window.
4 - xpos and ypos relative to the form's top left corner.

I usually use:

PopupSelectPosition(4, @Xpos(LEName), @Ypos(LEName))

This is relative to the button or the element where the code is placed. (You do not have to name the LEName)  Use the code as it is. LEName defaults to the LE the code is in.

This way the popup will be right by the subject element.

Bharat, I think StreifLicht is getting a syntax error, not a problem running the subroutine (that may come later).

StreifLicht, could you post a the snippet of code around that subroutine call. I don't see anything wrong with the subroutine name itself. If you are getting an error from earlier code, it can cause a cascade. Is this the first error, or is is several errors deep?

You donot even have to write Layout Element Name. LEName means current layout element. It is like ThisElement. If you just put the line as it is, it will work fine. If you replace LEName with the Current Element Name - that should work too.

Other than Lanticans, most of us here are amateurs. Thanks to Sesame for providing us with the platform and all the tools, so that we can design and program applications just like programmers do and give us ability to see how the logic is put to use through programming. Without unparalleled support by Lanticans, none of these would work! Thanks for all the support.  So, keep going with your own speed. We all have passed through that and we understand.

Huh! ???

Are you sure you don't have "LEName" set up as a variable? That does NOT work for me.

Carl, you are right! LEName should be replaced by ThisElement, that will take the current element as reference point.
