Forms Window problem [message #148324]

Hi

I have a Form with a Main Window (Window type is Document) - I have created a new window in the same form for a pop up message required for input from the user. I have created this with Window Type Dialog and set Modal to Yes. The problem is that when I open the form at runtime, the second window (the popup I created) flashes on the screen for a second before the main window. It is activated correctly at all other times i.e. when I call it - it is a dialog box which should stay on top until I have entered some text. Everything works fine except the appearance of the popup on running the form.

Is it something to do with the way I have set the properties of the window?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks
Sara

Hi,

When you set the properties not for window,but at the module level (top most in object navigator) you need to tell which window should appear first in the properties (set the First Navigation Data Block to the window which you want to display at runtime).
This will work.

Make sure that you have NO 'synchronize' commands active in your form (comment all of them 'out'). Make sure that you have your canvases in the correct order. Okay, what IS correct order? Put your main canvas as the first canvas and in your When-New-Form-Instance trigger have a 'go_item' to the first field of the main canvas (this SHOULD be unnecessary but often isn't) and then a 'go_item' to the first field on the first stacked canvas you wish to have displayed.

If this doesn't work then put the main canvas as the last canvas in the navigation list and see how that functions.

Get back to us with what effect this has on your forms 'flashing'.

Did you check for 'synchronize' commands? Did you turn them 'off'?

In what order do you have your canvases? Did you try putting them in another order. Do not populate any of the navigation properties.

Do you have any 'go_item' commands?

I did everything that you suggested.

The content canvas always slash before displaying any stack canvas.

After that, when I change position of that windows: set_window_property('main_window', X_POS, :parameter.rel_x);
The content canvas is move to new position, and form start load stack canvas on it.

Thank you.

On how many canvases do you have 'Raise on Entry' set to 'Yes'?

No canvas set 'Raise on Entry' set to 'Yes'.
But when I set property 'Raise on Entry' of
the content canvas & the 2 first stack canvas to 'Yes', nothing changed, slash is still happen?

I have to change position of main window(set_window_property...)first. Slash is still happen but in the same position, so user don't fell it.

By the way, can you explain the purpose of property 'Raise on Entry' on canvas.

Regards,

Try having 'raise on entry = yes' on the content canvas ONLY.
