I have examined and borrowed from the fabulous SalesOrder form many times especially the scrolling region. I was doing what Bob described, putting a variable label on the scrolling region. It appeared to work except for the anomaly reported.
Claudine,
When Variable Label is placed on the form (even on the Scrolling Region), you have to make sure that the "AutoSize" property of Variable Label is set to false, i.e., unchecked.
That SHOULD take care of that!
I also recently tried to put a Db Combo box and a DB Lookup ListBox on a scrolling region and I got the message: "You cannot insert this control into a scrolling region!". However, I successfully put a DBUserdefined combo and listbox on a scrolling region and although the objects don't work - they're gone after you save the form and re-enter - there is no error message!?!? My pet peeve would be that since these objects won't work (and that applies to variable labels and whatever else I haven't tried that won't work), they should generate an error message so that the user is aware that they cannot be used. I, for one, can't memorize which objects will work and those which will not! It's hard enough (at my age) to remember what I had for breakfast! <g>
DB User Defined ComboBox/ListBox are not supported in Scrolling Region.
So, my enhancement request is: please add error messages to help guide us to use only objects that work...
Done!
The next update (update 77) of R:BASE 7.1 will include that fix.
Meanwhile, enjoy the "Update 76" and make sure to have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
