Is it true that I cannot locate a Variable Label in a scrolling region?
No.
I have a form variable defined as a lookup to an account table. It is
associated with the correct multi-row detail table that's in my scrolling
region.
When I locate the variable label in my region, using an "enter using"
causes only one row to display at a time. You are actually entering
multiple rows, but as soon as you leave a row you just get another blank
row.
01. Make sure that the "Auto Size" property of Variable Label is
"Un-Checked", i.e., set to FALSE.
02. Adjust the "Width" of Variable Label in Scrolling Region accordingly.
Replacing a Variable Label with a Variable Edit works perfectly, so it is
a workaround (and it seems to be what Razzak does on his examples).
That is my preference!
However, I cannot get the frame around it to go away. I'd like it to
look like a label, with no border. I have "NONE" selected for the 3 frame
styles, have unchecked all the Frame Sides, tried unchecking both visible
and flat.
Any way to do this? What have you located in your regions?
Here's how:
01. Right-Click on Variable Edit Control | Properties | Effects
[x] Check Visible Frame
[ ] Un-Check Flat Frame
Frame Sides: [ ] Un-Check all four of them
Frame Color: BtnShadow
Frame Flat Style: None
Frame Focus Style: None
Frame Style: None
That's all there is to it!
Need an example? Just ask ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
