picker window and refresh issue - help!

[Mark Reed]

Hello all!

I added a picker window to a solution I am working on. This picker window approach was taken directly from the FTS materials (p 6-50 to be exact)

Everything works great with one exception.

If you are in a field in the portal and click the add button, it adds it - but the portal does not refresh until you click OUT of the portal. The FTS example does not act this way and I cannot see any difference or reason why. My goal is to not have to click out of the portal and once you add an item, it refreshes the portal list to show it.

For example, here is my solution in the works - ignore the mess, its still a long way from being done.

but click the EFFECTS tab and add a prop - it adds and refreshes to show it added.

now click in that added prop description field in the portal as if you were adding a note. Now click ADD PROP. Add a few. Notice it does not refresh the portal until you click out of it - then you see all the items added.

Im not sure how to get rid of this annoyance.

Any help is appreciated.

You need a Commit Records. Either add a Commit as the first step of the Add Prop to Effect script or as the last step.

sometimes you just smack your head when confronted with something you should have known to do but didnt!

Thanks you so much! I appreciate it. Works like a champ now.
