Greetings!

This is a strange one. I have a "right click" menu system built the 'old way' back in 16bit days. It works fine. But I am experiencing a strange thing in that after the 7.0.1 upgrade sometimes on some forms they fail to work. When I run the application in development mode, they never fail. But when I "Run" the application even with the development engine, the right click menu sometimes refuses to appear on some fields on some forms. I think it is always a table column where it fails. (I have code in the create event to load the MISC property for the menu to use. - reporduced below_)

Since it always works in Development mode, the system monitor is not useful.

  In clicking around and puting focus outsite the application and bringing it back, sometimes it starts to work!!

Any ideas? Or, things I should do to increase robustness?

*Here is my create event code as an example*

setup for popups on tables

This is used to make popups work on specific columns in tables.

misc_parms=get_property(@window,'MISC') ;* ARRAY. F1=VM ARRAY OF edit table names

  • F2=svm array of column labels - set for each table
  • F3=svm array of popup names - to verify the fields
  • F4=svm array of popup override info (@tm delimited)
  • F5=vm/svm array of form names for adding to popup
  • F9=is reserved for RO flag

misc_parms=PHONES'

misc_parms =Other Phones":@svm:"Descriptions"

misc_parms=GSSR*POPUPPHONES" misc_parms=OFFICERS" misc_parms=Officers":@svm:"Names":@svm:"ids" misc_parms=GSSR*POPUPOFFICER_CODES"

misc_parms=GSSR*POPUP**IXLOOKUP"

misc_parms=OFFICER_TITLE"

form_misc_parms=set_property(@window,'MISC',misc_parms)
