  • Barry, We no longer recommend using the ALL_OLES keyword. In addition to the overhead you incur, we have noticed that OI 9.x systems have unusual performance issues, especially in the area of synchronous events. It is odd because if you qualify eve…
  • Barry, The help for the OnMouseMove event should be updated a bit to make it very clear that it is not functional by default. You need to set the SuppressMouseMoveEvent property to False$. This property is listed at the bottom of the help article b…
  • Barry, After reviewing your code and that you mentioned this is happening within the form's CREATE event handler I am inclined to think you misunderstand how this is intended to work. I get the impression you are treating the ShowBalloonTooltip met…
  • Also, what event handler is calling this method for you? How are you trying to get it to work?
  • Barry, Establishing new content for each cell is not a problem. Windows 10 should not be the problem either (I just tested on my own system to confirm.) Perhaps you could post some code (i.e., more than what we have already seen) for us to review?
  • Barry, OLE.ShowToolTips should have no impact.
  • Colin, What event are you checking this property in? It does work for me in the BeforeUpdate event.
  • Colin, How do you envision the tick/check menu option working? That is, how would the state of the check be preserved for subsequent displays? Would this still send an event with the value of the check and then the developer is responsible for sett…
  • Colin, As you have surmised, this is because the SRP Ribbon control does not force the EditTable to lose focus. When this happens I assume the EditTable still has a cursor in the cell? This is expected and desired behavior. This would be similar t…
  • ...so instead of The Trouble with Tribbles you'll have The Problem with Popups. :-P
  • Colin, We've been using the SRP Popup to replace modal and modeless dialogs for a while. Our early uses looked like a glorified tooltip: But later when Microsoft unveiled the Modern (aka Metro) UI we wanted to try and embrace it while at the same…
  • Colin, We'll have a look at this can let you know what to expect ASAP. However, before resorting to a dialog box, why not incorporate the SRP Popup control instead?
  • Ed, Can you post (or send us) your setup code for the SRP EditTable? I have an SRP EditTable with multilined cells and the tooltip displays a multilined tooltip. Also, what are you using as your multiline delimiter? Not sure that this matters but …
  • Mark, The Redraw property does not apply to all changes that can occur in the EditTable control. While this may be unexpected, it is that way out of necessity due to the original design of the control. Whether or not you are discovering the limits …
  • Dan, Using the SRP EditTable within a modal dialog box is a long-standing problem. This is partially due to the tight-loop design of the Dialog_Box function, partially due to the Yield() calls that this function uses, and partially due to inherent …
  • That's pretty funny. It also reminds me of the Marx Brothers: Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo, and Gummo.
  • Martin, Would you mind making a new post? Your question is a good one, but no one searching the discussion forum would guess that it is appended to the end of an older thread relating to redraw issues. Also, I just have to ask...where does "doco" …
  • Matt, Very nice. I take it that you have tested it and it works?
  • Matt, Thanks for the update. I think that explains a lot, although I am not sure why things changed. Not that I am asking you to do this but I wonder what would happen if you dynamically created the group box controls as well.
  • Mark, I confess, I set this in the Form Designer as well....contrary to company policy. ;-)
  • Matt, I do not believe this is a problem with the SRP EditTable control. I tried to replicate but was unsuccessful. I suspect Mark is getting to the heart of the issue. Z-order (or tab order) can make a difference, especially if you are leap froggi…
  • Colin, That is a pre-release control. We just officially released 3.1.3. It would be very helpful if you could test with that version. It would be newer than 3.2.0 RC9 so it might have fixes your control does not have.
  • Colin, So we can determine if this is a new error introduced with the latest control or a pre-existing error, would you please confirm what version you are using? If this is the latest release, are you able to test with the prior release?
  • Matt, I was able to confer with Kevin this evening. Our original plan was to complete work on a new control which has not formally been revealed before releasing a new version of our controls. However, since this might be delayed due to Kevin's cur…
  • Matt, I am rather confident we can get a new official control released. Kevin is away on assignment so this limits our ability to roll stuff out as quickly as we would like. I will get with him to confirm.
  • Matt, I think you identified the critical issue: hiding the header column. I now see the problem on my end. I have logged this into our issue tracking system as OLE-83. Someone will post back to this thread with an update or resolution.
  • Matt, Sorry for the delay. I was waiting for others on my staff to comment. I have not yet tested this with the separate control. With the Pro control I am not seeing this. However, there may be other particulars with your setup that do not match m…
  • Matt, Are you using a separated SRP EditTable control or the SRP Controls Pro?
  • Kauko, Thank you again for your assistance with this. The RDK you supplied was very helpful. I was able to reproduce the problem and I isolated this down to one line of code. For whatever reason, when you set the control's NEXT property to itself, …
  • Kauko, I appreciate your work on this. Now we have a different dilemma: replicating the problem. As mentioned previously, I have a window similar to yours and I do not see this problem. So we have to figure out how to recreate the problem so we can…
