  • hi Don, i also want the third field to be a multi line field. Is there anyway for me to only have to set that once and the table will know that every cell which is the third field should be multilined?
  • oh right thanks. It works! I could have sworn that I had tried that
  • Hi, I am trying to do what Don said. I want the third column to span two columns: But my code isn't working. What is wrong with the code? Set_Property(table, "OLE.Dimension", "2":@fm:1) Set_Property(table, "OLE.HeaderMerge[3; 2]", 2:@fm:1) …
  • KevinFournier, ok, that's good. That changes my mind. I might try it then. thanks
  • actually, i just thought of another way to do this: I can actually fit everything in one row, i don't need multiple rows per record (though it would look better). I will try this way. Thanks
  • Oh that sounds complicated ): Once I do this merging for the columns, will I also have to merge the data rows? Or will the table know how to handle the dimensions of the data rows based off the dimensions of the columns? But anyway, I will tell yo…
  • thanks, but context menus are too complicated for users. I thought of another way to do this using two tables. thanks
  • It's ok. A colleague told me that I could capture in promoted events the event of clicking on this corner cell, and make that action be the thing that selects all rows:
  • @DonBakke hi, you're right there was a bug in my code. thanks
  • yes, i am also changing pages. The buttons are on all pages, and running that command doesn't screw everything up.
  • @DonBakke ok , point taken. I have run into another issue however. When I call this: Set_Property(@window:".OLE_TAB", "OLE.SelectedTab", 2) my srp buttons disappear. Here is what my form looks like before I call that line of code: And here i…
  • @SRPSupport i think you should add this to the documentation, as I would imagine this is a common use case. Or perhaps create a new tab method that does just this.
  • Thanks, my work colleague also just told me that this is how you do it.
  • ok thanks. We will just use the unlock statement. It's not ideal, but it will do. Thanks
  • it's actually slower. Anyway, paging is the best option.
  • I will try it. Thanks
  • No i have not, but I was hoping that something like that existed. So you're saying it's possible to use one set property call to alter multiple rows at the same time? That would be perfect.
  • Hi, I see. I think I can figure it out myself. I will create a test html page with hyperlinks and then click them in the debugger and see what events get fired. Thanks for your help though.
  • Ok, I already do that. I think I have too many rows (800+). I will use paging, so that only a fraction of the 800+ rows are ever displayed at any one time. Thanks
  • Thank you. I will check out SRP Interactive Report Utility.
  • Although you are no longer looking at the OLE browser control, the answer to the question is "yes", you can tell OI what was clicked. Really? That changes everything. If that's the case, why not use a browser for all interface elements, as the p…
  • Don't worry, i figured it out.
  • Hi, I have decided to go with the report table. It's turned out very well. But is it possible to disable this tool tip from appearing whenever you mouse over a control?
  • I will have another look at the OLE_IE thing. But as far as I know, OI can't extract information about what was clicked in a browser? I will have a look though. I will just make a test form and click things in the browser and see if any useful event…
  • you know what, this is all too much. I am just going to go with kevin's initial suggestion. So when they click on a note, it will load the note in "Edit mode" on the side of the table in an edit box. Thanks all for your help.
  • I will just say, the numbers 16 and 17 seem to be very special numbers with regard to this control. Maybe these 2 numbers mean something to you?
  • hi, the number of rows that each "note cell" can contain varies. So I don't think that it will work. For example, some could be 7, another could be 1, etc. In the code above, I just made everything be 7 for testing purposes.
  • @DonBakke If you were to scroll further down, you would see the next note. I have talked to the users and they said that they want to scroll. I asked them about pressing a button to see the next note, and they said that that's too slow. Anyhow, I…
  • @AusMarkB hi, the notes are not verbose stuff. They're the main pieces of data that the users care about.
  • Hi, this behavior doesn't suit the requirement. Basically, the users want to just scroll to be able to see everything. They don't want to have to click on a cell to give it focus so that the cell resizes to reveal the rest.
