I tried it on Windows standalone and it works perfectly. Does this happen often where something works on one platform but not on another? I submitted a bug report.

Maybe I'll try it standalone on Windows, that's what I'm going to be deploying it on.

Here's a super simple stack that I created. If you type in 1 character, it works. If you type in more than one, after you click on ok in the dialog box it crashes.

I'd split the code this way: on textChanged searchdb end textChanged on searchdb wait 1 second with messages set the uCurrentSearchTerm of me to the text of me call loadItemTable end searchdb This way does the same thing. If I key in one letter and wait for it to read, it works fine. More than one ...

More experimenting, I don't think it has to do with the wait. I think it has to do with keying in multiple characters and doing a db access that takes a little while. If I put in one character, wait for it to finish, put in another, wait for it to finish, etc. It works fine. It's just if I put in mo...

I'm trying to do something, not sure I've got the right way to do it. I have a search box, I automatically want to run an external db command when they enter something in the search box, but I want it to wait a little so it doesn't try to do it after every character. So I used a wait command, but no...

OK, that seems to work great. Thanks!

I thought I saw this somewhere, but I can't find it for the life of me. Is there a way to just do something in development mode, for instance open a results window, which when you build the standalone version it doesn't open? I thought I saw something like if development then ... end if but I can't ...

I didn't see that documentation anywhere. I will try that.

The reason I have a ( in the first character is because that's in the data. It's a list of vendors, and one of them has that in its name. I have to allow for anything, within reason.

Is there a way to print 2 lines in the header in one column?

I've downloaded DGH and it's awesome! So much help!

One question: is there a way to have 2 lines in the header on some columns?

OK well I figured out how to do it with a function, but I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Here's what i did:

function corCheckEscape textToCheck
if char 1 to 2 in textToCheck = "\(" then
delete char 1 in textToCheck
end if
return textToCheck
end corCheckEscape

Next problem is the label for the control has the \ in it. Is there a simple way to avoid that?

OK great! Thanks!

In both the pulldown menu and option menu, if the first character in one of my choices is a left paren ( the choice is grayed out and unselectable. To test, just set up a new control and change the choices to: (Choice 1) Choice 2 (Choice 3) You'll see that only Choice 2 is able to be selected. This ...
