Restoring List or Report Possition When Swithing Layouts.

[Ron Cates]

This is a follow up to my recent post "Go To Related Record From Sub Summary Report in Browse Mode" but it's also a multi purpose question so I figured I would start a new post.

 

First, please be aware that we are running windows and opening a new window is an ugly user experience on Windows that I simply don't find acceptable. So I don't want to open a new window. Just wanted to save time not having to respond to that suggestion because it is always the first and most suggested solution. I went through that when I was looking for a way to restore a portal position.

 

I have a really good technique for restoring a portal position, but it doesn't translate to list view. I think I can modify it to work just fine but the key is being able to capture the top visible row when Exiting the layout.

 

So to simplify, all I really need is a way to capture the top visible row in list view when exiting the layout and I'm pretty sure I can work it out from there.

 

Thanks

Hi Ron,

 

Do know that you can get rit of that 'ugly user experience' on windows..... Put this in your start up script:

 

IF (ABS(Get(SystemPlatform)) ≠ 1

 

Resize window to GET(Windowdesktopheight) - 4 and GET(Windowdesktopwidth) - 4

 

(I have a dutch fmPro version so excuse the crooked language)

 

Good luck!
