ThrowFocus and Long Forms

Print Post Print Post  
I have a form that extends beyond the height of the screen.  When I'm working in the bottom area, and click a button which saves the form via FormCommit(""), the screen always scrolls to the top of the form.  This occurs even if I use ThrowFocus() to set the focus to a Layout Element at the bottom of the form.  What do I need to do to either keep the form from scrolling up or to make it scroll down?

(v2.0.5)

Interesting. I tested this, and I stay at the bottom of the form, leaving me with focus on the command button that I just clicked, which contains just FormCommit("").

Hmmm....well I probably oversimplified my situation.  I'm committing both the main form and the subform, plus doing other stuff.  I'll have to pull it apart and see what makes it fail to return to the bottom of the page.

OK, I created a very specific test case.  I created a simple app with an Invoice form and a LineItems sub-form.  I put the sub-form and a command button below the page break.  The commit button contains the following code:
Code
Select All
FormCommit( "LineItems" )
FormCommit( "" )

ThrowFocus( Commit )

When I click commit, the page scrolls to the top.  If I comment out the FormCommit("") statement, it doesn't scroll.  I'd be happy to provide the sample code.

I had nothing but FormCommit("") in the button event. You shouldn't need to ThrowFocus to the Commit button itself.

Don't have time right now, but I may play with this a bit more later.
