WHEN CALLING A POPUP FROM AN EDIT LINE IT WON'T PICK UP THE

VARIABLE IN THE EDIT LINE; POPUP USES DATASET, HAVE TRIED WITH AND

WITHOUT VAR=VAR IN WINDOW; POPUP WORKS IN USER INTERFACE IF

MANUALLY PUT IN VARIABLE; BUT WON'T READ FROM WINDOW…ANY IDEAS.

THANK YOU DEBBIE

Base your code on this template:

data=get_property(CtrlEntID , "TEXT") /* this is the info you want to pass to popup */

argument_values=… / Create an @SVM delimited list of argument values from data /

argument_names=… / Create an @SVM delimited list of corresponding argument names. If argument names are not supplied then argument numbers are assumed by position of argument values. /

popup_data='

popup_data=argument_values

popup_data=argument_names

return_data=popup( @window , popup_data , "YOUR_POPUP_NAME")

What you're doing basically is overwriting the default popup settings with the ones in the popup_data variable.

I'm only changing line 8 in this example. If that's not enough, then look up the POPUP function in the help (In System Editor, type in popup then press F1) .

I'm not sure if you are talking about a quickevent that "Execute a Popup" or not… If so, and you want to return a value from a popup into the edit value…

In the Quickevent window..

—–Return Value in—- Group box

   Control  = @WINDOW

   Property= QBFLIST
