Par2: Dynamically Select-ing a different field at window open 1999-01-26 -- Dennis Evans >In ThisWindow.Init, priority 9999, I have: > If ThisWindow.Request = Insertrecord > If LOC:pCode > CTJ:pCode = LOC:pCode > CTJ:Volume = LOC:Volume > CTJ:Issue = LOC:Issue > CTJ:Date = LOC:Date > Select(?CTJ:Author,1) <======= > End > Else >The priming works correctly. However, the Select(? ) does not. The FirstField property is set in the init method. The TakeWindowEvent method then selects the FirstField, on a WindowOpen event. The TakeWindowEvent method is called after the init method is completed, from the TakeEvent method. Place the select statement in the TakeWindowEvent method Event:Open, after the parent call. [shp] Note: The field priming must remain in the After Opeing Window embed (or towards the end of ThisWindow.INIT). The Select() must be moved as Dennis points out. Dennis adds: You can also change the value of the FirstField property. In the ThisWindow.Init method, after the template sets the value, embed this Self.FirstField = ?ControlName. Then after the parent call to TakeWindowEvent, OpenWindow, reset the property, if needed. Self.FirstField = ?NewControl.
