I was testing a post proceedure. It selects all the unposted items and passes that active cursor to a popup. Well I forgot to realize that there were all the items that were unposted. So that created a select list of about 20,000 items (definately not normal). So while the popup was displaying the whole list of 20,000 items, I clicked "cancel". The popup closed just fine. Although, it did not "clear" the active cursor.



Is a popup suppose to clear the active cursor it is using?



I used the "User Interface Workspace" to create the popup. Under the "source" tab I have selected "cursor of table rows". I execute the popup with the following source code sentences...



OVERRIDE=NOTHING$

OVERRIDE=CURSOR

ITEMS=POPUP1(WINDOW,OVERRIDE,'POST_CR')

<QUOTE>I've ALWAYS cleared any active select list before and after I use it.  This has bumped my nose in the past:

.. CLEARSELECT

.. do your select

.. call whatever you want to do with it .. popup or whatever

.. check to make sure the user selected anything

.. IF SOMETHING_SELECTED THEN

..    GOSUB DO_PROCESS

.. END

.. CLEARSELECT



This has always worked properly in the past .. 16-bit / 32-bit

<QUOTE>Thanks Don,



Although I have conditions where "I think and am not sure" that is not possible.



If the same one user has two windows open, both doing selects, then unless I use the "setting" keyword in the "select by" statement... the two seperate select processes overwrite themselves and cause unpredictable results.



How would you handle this?

<QUOTE>Richard ..

My short answer is that I'm not sure.  Since the select lists are not stored with a tag indicating the active process window or whatever, I'm not sure it's possible.  The select list is usually tagged with the date/time stamp and that usually is sufficient.  I've not run across the case where one select-list overwrites the other from the same workstation, but I'm just now sure.



Maybe someone smarter than me can answer.

<QUOTE>Thanks Don, I appreciate your input.



Its definately not like the DOS days. And then since years has gone by with this product being used, I do believe there is a simple "trick" I am overlooking.
