  • Phil, I think you already understand how to add the Schedule control to the form. You previously sent me a screen shot that suggested you got the Prog ID correctly entered and the control was able to visibly display. Is that correct? If so, then yo…
  • Phil, I don't think there is a way to prevent this exactly as you seem to want. I might suggest using the ApptLocked property or the BeforeApptDrag event in conjunction with the Cancel property.
  • Phil, This is possible, although a bit indirectly. Use the MapClientToTime method. You can use the value from the Point argument from the OnScheduleClick event to pass in.
  • Phil, That is likely the line that displays the current time. It shouldn't be arbitrary, though. It should show you the current time. You can hide it using the CurrentTimeColor property.
  • Phil, In your case, I think only using the AppointmentList would be best and easiest.
  • Phil, First, my apologies. I wrote ReportTable in my previous response but I meant Schedule. I know which control we are discussing but for some reason my mind wanted to write ReportTable. Okay, so you are using only one Schedule control and allow…
  • Phil, The Schedule control does not have any concept of sorting for entities. Therefore, it places the entities in the order you added them to the EntityList property. The only way the order will be modified is if you changed the value in the Entit…
  • For the benefit of anybody following this thread (or future readers looking for help with this issue) I wanted to provide a summary of the resolution. Jan and I took this discussion offline so we could walk through some actual demonstrations of the …
  • Jan, I am not expecting you to rewrite your process. If the property is at fault then we will work to address it. However, if you need a workaround in the meantime then perhaps the AddTimeBlocks method will work. Having said that, there is a best …
  • Jan, Are you always using the TimeBlockList property when adding new time blocks? Have you tried using the AddTimeBlocks method instead? You may have uncovered a problem with the TimeBlockList property but your description of what you are doing sug…
  • Jan, In your case I suggest just trying to use the Entity property to update the text. Let us know if that works better for you.
  • I am a few days late in answering this, but here it goes: As far as the crash goes, that is just bad behavior on the control's part that I will need to address. However, there is a good reason why I would not recommend your current approach. The p…
  • Hi Ed, At the moment appointments in the tree can only be dragged to other entities within the tree.
  • Hi Ed, I see. Well, at the moment there is no way to drag and drop onto the Schedule control from another source. That is something we hope to remedy in the future, but it is not likely to happen for another few months. We have a client who uses t…
  • Ed, Are the unscheduled jobs also being displayed in the same Schedule control or somewhere else?
  • Phil, I don't quite understand what is meant by ...that may control this. Near as I can tell, the problem you are experiencing is not directly related to the SRP Button Control. This looks more like a general OI problem. Are you sure this isn't a p…
  • Phil, The OI VISIBLE property is the way to accomplish this. So we need to look at your code to figure out why it isn't working. Are you are putting "OLE." in front of the property name? If so, then just remember that when using OI properties these…
  • Barry, Okay, very good. Last ditch effort: if you are calling the QUALIFY_EVENT in your commuter's CREATE event handler, are you hardcoding the form/control name in a way that would be incompatible with the new form?
  • Barry, Hate to ask, but are you calling your commuter module generically? I wonder if the QuickEvent is still calling the original commuter.
  • Barry, When you say "suddenly stop working" that suggests to me that it was working and then stopped working within the same copy of OI and the same session. However, your last sentence makes me think that you have one copy of OI where it works as …
  • Colin (and other interested parties), The multi-line tooltip enhancement is not presently on a schedule to be implemented. This is because we are still working through some new control development (stay tuned for some information on this) and some …
  • James, I got the images...very nice. I might be coming back to you with some questions. FYI, we are looking to provide a way for posters to upload images so they can be added to a message post. Stay tuned!
  • Hi James, The current implementation of the tooltip does not support multiple lines. We hope to add this in the near future, likely as a free upgrade. However, we have to get through our backlog of regular work right now. I'm pleased that you like…
  • Colin, Good examples. Another common one would be a button next to an edit line control that invokes the OPTIONS event. If the edit line has validation and the current entry does not pass validation, it will block the ability to execute the CLICK e…
  • Colin, I understood what you meant. Actually, this is why I spelled it as LOSTFOCUS since that is the OI event whereas the OLE event would normally be Lostfocus. Anyway, as I said, this is by design. Think about it: you do not want your toolbar to…
  • Colin, Certain styles of the SRP Button control do not generate LOSTFOCUS events by design. This was to make toolbar style buttons work as expected. What style are you using? If you change it to a non-toolbar style does it work?
  • Mark, Good to know and thanks for the update. I have yet to replicate your problem due to other pressing issues, but I intend to visit this just to confirm that this is a universal problem.
  • Mark, Your contribution to this issue is greatly appreciated. While I am happy to see that you found a resolution, I would really like to see the problem occur on my system as it does for yours. How predictable have the display problems been?
  • Colin, This problem still persists in OI 9, so I would encourage you to report this to Revelation. Hopefully Carl Pates can get a solution in for OI 10.
  • Colin, I have seen this behavior frequently, but not just with the SRP Button control. Just for experimental purposes, can you replace one of the controls with a standard OI control? Position, size, and name the control exactly the same way. This w…
