Getting The Portal Focus ???

[ron G]

I have a 2 layouts;

MainLayout is called INPUT and has several tabs

Each tab has a portal

One tab is called Add Transactions and is named accordingly.

I wrote this script;

[color:red]Set VAriable [$$portalrow;value:Options::optionid.pk

/* This line captures the current portqal row */

Then there is some code that does a 'find'

If [get [foundcount)>0

Show custom Dialog ...

If[get(lastMessageChoice=2)

Delete all records

Goto Layout ("Input"...)

Goto Object [Object Name: "Add Transactions"]

Goto Portal Row [select;No Dialog;$$portalrow]

Delete Portal Row [No Dialog]

Else

...

[color:red]

The problem is that when this script encounters the Go to Portal Row, it jumps to the 1st tab ....:? What's up with that?

Try a Go to Field before the Go to portal row.

Thanks for the reply.

It turns out that the culprit was the object name I gave to a tab. For some reason, I can't 'goto object' to a tab name.

So, I named the portal and used goto object to go to it. Then I brought in $portalrow and deleted the portal row. ba boom... done.

Thanks again.

Question.. and new to this.. How did you get your code to this message.. I had to print, then scan to a image? thanks..

RE Code.

In this case I just typed it in.

I have a mac so sometimes I use a program called InstantShot! to capture part of the screen as a .jpg. Then I upload the .jpg to a Google Pages Account (free) and reference the URL when I write the question. If you have a Mac, I can email InstantShot! to you. It is a free utility.

Thanks for reminding me about the Apple capture feature. I find it easier to just click on InstantShot and then drag the pointer over what I want to capture than try and remember the keyboard activation sequence. Personal preference.

I am not arguing with your preference. It's just that your post could be read as saying that additional software is required.

In any case, mastar's profile indicates Windows XP, so...

i prefer the widget.
