How can I make the first item in a popup selectable (highlighed) without having to "hit the space"? Similar to AREV .

Also, this may not be possible (on the otherhand it may), but let me ask anyway. In AREV, we could work with multiple Templates simultaneously. At present, I don't see this capabilities within OI. You can bring up only one forms at a time. In the system editor, you can have multiple stored procedures. Is there a way to have multiple forms available for quick referencing and etc.

Thanks in advance. I will post this question also in the Works.

Ray,

1) Popup autoselect: As far as I know there is no "system" way to set the first item in the popup as selected. The source to popup is in the sysprog account so you could make the change yourself. Be sure to note and save any change you make as new updates may overwrite your changes.

2) The window designer is a single instance program. The Editor is a MDI frame. This is one of the things I was talking to you about the design of OI vs most other products. At least most products have a similar 'look/feel' between their products .. almost like they had been designed to work together

To select the first item in a popup if you've created the popup programatically.

I've done this before but I can't find the example. Off the top of my head try.

$insert popup_equates

poparm=1

ans=popup(@window,poparm) etc

Paul,

Of course you are correct in your note .. a mv delim list of items (row positions) will initially select. Since we use 'canned' popups (easier maintenance and multiple use) I blew right past it.

Sometimes the obvious answer is not right

Ray ..

take a look at the Equates record for popup .. lots of information.

Dave,

Sorry for the delay in thanking you for your response, but I've been out of pocket so to speak. Anycase, I found the answer in the equates. I need to overtly set the msg parameter programatically. Well no doubt the product is not perfect, but let's hope that RTI will continue to make OI better in future upgrades ] For example, one of the area I'm kind of worry about now is converting some of the programs we have. I have seen recently here and it reminded me of our earlier experience in working with Stored Procedures that exceeded 32K. I'm trying to minimize my conversion effort effort and having to break my codes into callable subroutine may not be that much fun.

Anycase, talk to you later.

Works like a charm!

Thanks

Ray,

And don't forget the debugger .. if you want to look at a large var (different sizes above about 40K) the entire system can crash causing a complete reboot. Pretty sweet

But I am sure that this and the editor will be fixed in future versions
