  • Thanks Don. Using the poschanging for validation we don't actually clear the data out but the user is essentially confined to the cell until such time as they enter something valid or clear it out. This has worked to date and was so much better tha…
  • I've had mixed results with embedding forms in the shortcutbar in the past but its probably more just about finding the right tool for the job. You're spot on with the improvement to the user experience though.
  • Colin, Other than the vomit, great use of the available tools. By the looks of it, you seem to have successfully embedded OI forms into the shortcutbar? I havent' tried it for a while but do you find it works nicely for you?
  • Don, I've had this in the back of my head as a to do one day thing, just to combat the data binding objections. Didn't realise it was out there already. I use the SRP edittable whenever data binding is not a requirement and as Dan said non users a…
  • Hi Adam, just sprouting the first thoughts that came into my head without testing/checking anything but it might help. Are you changing the colour of the cell before or after it is populated or before or after the remaining cells are populated. I …
  • Ok, couldn't leave it at that. The problem from my end was the widths variable, not the visibility variable. By passing in the widths as a vm array, the subsequent putting all the pieces together created extra columns I didn't need nor did I know t…
  • Again, thanks for being my sounding board gentlemen and enabling me to find the problems with my own code :-) I can't give you the exact specifics but the general issue was this. I have one routine to initalise all reporttables and I just pass in c…
  • Thank you Gentlemen, That was the kind of prompts I was really looking for. (I tried the standing on one leg thing and it didn't fix it). Don, Not sure whether I 100% followed what you meant but I did this. Initialised both reporttables the same …
  • Hey Dan, According to this https://wiki.srpcs.com/display/ActiveX/Version+History That was fixed in the latest version released in the last day or two. Have you downloaded and registered that version? I haven't tried it, just remembered reading t…
  • Hi Colin, This probably doesn't help you directly but it looks to me like not so much that the values are changing to zero but perhaps just the formatting of the display is changing. Each of the entries that are changed to zero may just be "displa…
  • Whoops! Yes indeed the ColumnCheckboxAlignment property works. By my own copy/paste screwup I found that it also works for images, so where you want to align an image within a column, use ColumnCheckboxAlignment . However, ColumnAlignment doesn't …
  • Thanks Kev
  • More than happy to provide you with a screenshot or I could re-read and actually try what you suggested. Seems that works too. Nothing to see here... Move along.
  • No. The columnlist property doesn't work. I expect without trying that that would align the text if you were to have text as well as checkbox.
  • Hey Don. No I don't know about earlier versions. Was just clarifying which version I was using. Help doco says you can do it but I can't seem to.
  • Ok thanks. Now I don't need to go trying different delimiters just in case... :-)
  • by normal I meant a 'text' column as opposed to a 'preview' column. If its just a matter of choosing the right line mark delimiters, that's easy. It's just that I noticed crlf worked when I switched the column to a preview column. I wasn't looking …
  • I was going to reply but I've left already

  • Disregard above. The image height was too large so nothing showed. As a further test I made the fixedrowheight to 50 and voila, pretty stars all down the column

  • Kevin, I have just downloaded and tried this new functionality. It works a treat. These seemingly simple concepts have turned what was a nice little tool into a work of art. Mind you, I don't have an artistic bone in my body but its a big {thumbs …
  • Kevin, That sounds promising. Are those features intended for displaying results in the footer and/or are they expected to work with grouping as well?
    in New Version Comment by AusMarkB May 2013
  • No problem. On a side note, I was unintentionally setting the column type to 1 (passing it between routines in the wrong parameter position) and that's how I was ending up with a preview column. So that took me a little bit to track down because I …
  • No the table isn't empty but your question got me thinking. Further testing found that with or without group rows it is ok provided there are no columns of type 'Preview'. If I change the 'Preview' to just display normally then everything works eve…
  • Thanks for the clarification Kevin. I like it when little mysteries are revealed. I'm picturing a whole new 'About' page.
  • The more I ask, the more I learn. and what you've said above is certainly applicable for my local machine. I'll try some variations in time but I'm liking what I'm seeing.
  • Thanks for the clarification and I re-read my first post and the alternate question really should have been how do I programatically find the 'path' of the currently registered control. How do I do a 'Ctrl F' of the registry?
  • What's more, I thought I had added to that thread today myself but it doesn't seem to be there. Perhaps I just forgot to click 'Submit' :-/
  • Hey Don, Yes and No. I found that today, so I used it and then concatenated the registered path so if the version came back different from different machines, I could better understand why. As it turned out, the version was the same but the paths …
  • Thanks Don and Frank for the suggestion. If I get time to play I'll have a look at Google Charts. I think I started down that path once before but probably got distracted because I didn't have a genuine need for it. Still don't really but....
