Calc field (container) doesn't refresh when placed on a tab panel.

Featured Replies

Hello.

I've got a calc field (result: container) that gets filled with a graphic when a certain condition is met:

Case ( IsEmpty ( Comments ) ; Global::gYellowBar ; "" )

When I place this field on a tab panel, it does not refresh. It only updates when placed besides tab panels.

The only way to get it filled is by switching to layout mode and then back to browse mode.

Any ideas why this happens?

Thanks for your help...

Mike

Sounds like a cache problem - which I've experienced my self recently with TAB based fields.

You can force a refresh by using the Refresh Window command on the Records menu.

Thanks.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that a Refresh Window or a Commit Record does not help.

Something else must be going on; such as placement of the tab object or placement of the field. Works properly for me.

Hey Bruce,

Thanks for pointing this out. So, I tried to build the tab panel system once more from scratch, and found out that the Default Front Tab in Tab Control Setup caused opening the wrong panel (where the calc field was not placed on).

Thanks again! :

Mike
