Following code should set the first column of an editable to hidden. Works find in 16 bit code.

Locks up when the Send_Message is executed in the 32 bit version.

Styles=Send_Message(Obj,'COLSTYLE',0,) Col_Style=Styles Col_Style=BITOR(Col_Style,DTCS_HIDDEN) Styles=Col_Style Call Send_Message(Obj,'COLSTYLE',0,Styles) Return Anyone have any ideas? Is this a known problem? </QUOTE> —- === At 07 MAR 2002 10:30PM j Vaughan wrote: === <QUOTE>This works, so it's something to with trying to get the style for the entire table.

Call Send_Message(Obj,'COLSTYLE',1,Col_Style)

Return

Skip that, that locks up as well.

Jim,

During the beta releases of OI32 I believe we had lock ups using COLSTYLE, however, Pat quickly fixed it and we haven't had any problems since. Below is a copy of code we are currently using. Essentially it is exactly the same as your code except that we are hiding column 9 whereas you are hiding column 1. Perhaps that might be the problem.

ColStyle=Send_Message(@Window:".EDT_ORDER", "COLSTYLE", 0, "")

ColStyle=BitOr(ColStyle, 32)

Send_Message(@Window:".EDT_ORDER", "COLSTYLE", 0, ColStyle)

I can hide other columns, so it is indeed the problem.

Pat?

I just created a test form with a 3 column table and a button with the following code:

ColStyle=Send_Message(@Window:".TABLE_1", "COLSTYLE", 0, "")

ColStyle=BitOr(ColStyle, 32)

ColStyle=Send_Message(@Window:".TABLE_1", "COLSTYLE", 0, ColStyle)

When I click the button, I do not experience a lock up. I did notice that there are some problems redrawing the table, but no lock up.

Can you create a simple test form like this to see if you still lock up on a simple form like this?

Pat, Jim,

I changed our code to use column 1 and it worked fine. I didn't even notice a painting problem that you mentioned Pat. This is on a Win98SE machine.

That works; I also see the form not repainting correctly. Edge of column gets left on the screen.

Let me see if I can track down what is causing the system hang in the more complex case.

Got it, try it when you only have 1 column in the editable.
