Lena: Thank you, but no. Here's the contents of the Failure section:
LABEL HandleFailure SET VAR vZCheckHour = NULL SET VAR vZCheckMins = NULL SET VAR vZRTimeHour = NULL SET VAR vZRTimeMins = NULL --Option for testing --PROPERTY ve_GateRunTime SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' --PROPERTY ve_GateRunTime FIRSTCHAR 'TRUE' Bruce -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lena Dammstrom Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2013 12:09 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Form Designer: 'REFRESH' Variable Edit? You said the Fail routine "nulls" variables, are you sure you did not Clear Variables. Set var vtest1 integer Set var vtest2 integer = 2 Set var vtest3 integer = 3 Set var vtest1 = .vtest2 + .vtest3 (Results okay) Clear var vtest2 Set var vtest1 = .vtest2 + .vtest3 receive error Unrecognized global variable expression (2161) because I Clear variable vtest2 Lena -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce A. Chitiea Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2013 1:54 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Form Designer: 'REFRESH' Variable Edit? All: RBG95_64 Latest Q: How do I "refresh" a Variable Edit Control after recovering from an input error? Scenario: I've embedded a format mask ( 00:00;1;_ ) within a Variable Edit control ( ve_GateRunTime ) to capture a TEXT representation of a date: HH:MM. Success. The ON EXIT EEP runs the input value through a series of error detection tests. Also success. Upon error, the EEP delivers up appropriate PAUSE statements, refers handling to Fail routine which nulls variables. Focus returns to the PREVIOUS control in the tab order. I can then [TAB] to ve_GateRunTime and reenter. If I include these two statements: PROPERTY ve_GateRunTime SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' PROPERTY ve_GateRunTime FIRSTCHAR 'TRUE' ... at the end of in the Fail routine, focus "never leaves" ve_GateRunTime. While the cursor is correctly placed, the control accepts no input. [TAB]bing beyond that generates: 'Unrecognized global variable in expression. (2161)' [OK] 'Expression cannot be evaluated. (2179)' TRACE then locates the error at a line number far beyond the number of lines in the EEP. ??? Thanks much, Bruce Chitiea SafeSectors, Inc. eCondoMetrics 909.238.9012 cell
