On Application Open
Sep 6th, 2005 at 5:11pm
Print Post Print Post  
I want to open my application in search mode and have the cursor in a layout element (keyword field) named "Search."

I am using the following code in On Element Open programming:

Code
Select All
var n as Int
n = @SelectTreeItem("Addresses!Forms!Search/Update!Main!FrmAddresses")


This works just fine and opens my application in search mode.

I assume that I would then use the following code:

Code
Select All
If @mode() = 2 Then ThrowFocus(Search)


I have tried placing this programming in the element FrmAddresses - On Form Entry and I have also tried placing this programming in the first element on my form (Status) - On Element Entry.  In neither case does it move the cursor to my "Search" element.

What am I doing wrong, please.

Try putting it in the OnRetrieveSpecOpen event.

Erika -

I forgot to mention that I tried it in that event, also.

Spencer,

I also tried using ThrowFocus in various events without success.

I ended up using @Macro in the command button programming that is on my custom menu. Try something similar to the following code. The macro simply contains a mouse click on the desired layout element.

Code
Select All
var n as Int
n = @SelectTreeItem("Addresses!Forms!Search/Update!Main!FrmAddresses")
@Macro("Data\Click Keyword LE.mac")


BTW, an interesting thing about the macro is that the same macro can work in any database that has a layout element with the same name. So, in some cases, you can use one macro for multiple databases.

Carl -

A macro call in the Application Program Manager did it; however, I can't believe there wouldn't be an easier way.

Perhaps in version 2?  Perhaps?

Anyhow, thanks Carl -- that takes care of my "need" for now and I've been able to enhance three of my files.  Thank you; thank you!
