I run into some of the craziest things sometimes!
I have a command in a form eep:
PROPERTY 'M1Grader1|RBASE_FORM' SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
That returns an error :
Error - Component M1Grader1|Rbase_Form not found in current form.
After a couple of hours trying to figure this out, I changed the
name/alias of the form to 'Grader" and changed the Property command
to:
PROPERTY 'Grader|RBASE_FORM' SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
All works fine. I changed back to the M1Grader1 and the error returns.
Is there a list of reserved words or characters for the MDI form
property?
I am running now OK, but I would like to avoid this in the future.
Bob,
The -ERROR- reflects the missing "MDI Form" with a "M1Grader1" CompID.
Typical syntax when using MDI forms:
PROPERTY 'FormComponentID|ControlComponentID' Component_Property value
Example:
PROPERTY 'MDI_Customers|EGB_Next' SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
Where:
. MDI_Customers is a Form Component ID for Customer form used as MDI
. EGB_Next is a Control Component ID on Customer form used as MDI
. SET_FOCUS is the component PROPERTY used to switch the focus
. TRUE is the value
Hope that helps!
