It would be great to have a "Control Group" field for controls in the form designer that have visibility-related fields (visible, foreground/background colors, fonts etc.). That way it would be very simple to manage multiple fields simultaneously using Form Logic. Currently I have a project...

I have 8 CipherLab 9700 guns running TracerPlus 9.5 on Windows Embedded 6.5 Pro. My application runs fine on 6 of the 8 guns but appears to crash on the remaining 2 during startup. The app starts running and I see the screen (or at least part of it) but then it shuts down almost instantly. I've...

Thanks for getting back to me Dan. I assume the same is true for Connect? - I can install it alongside 9.5? - Andrew.

Hello. I'd like to look at V10 but I don't want to mess up my V9.5 install. Does the V10 installer coexist with V9.5 or does it upgrade it? Also, are there any release notes for V10 so that I can see what changes there are compared toV 9.5? Thanks, Andrew.

I have a read-only session that's just checking a database for certain values. It's not possible to set an OnSubmit event in Form Logic because it appears that the event isn't firing when the user submits the data. The only workaround I've been able to come up with is to use a LostFocus event...

Is it possible to "GoTo" a different session? I have an application that's capturing time data. It has fairly complex functionality including some SmartForm rules and a bunch of Form Logic. The system clocks people in and out of tasks and works correctly. I'd like to add a feature whereby the...

Thanks Howard - I'd not remembered about the comments at the bottom of the dialog box. I was hoping that that field would be to the right of the "Else Value" field so that the comments can all be seen at a glance (so that I can 'group' rules and so-on), but the existing functionality is...

It would be great to have row-level comments for Form Logic. They can get quite complex so being able to identify what they're doing using free-text would be useful.

Thank you Howard.

Thanks Howard. I had duplicated the tab and so the fields were also duplicated, causing the problem. I assume that having the same field in more than one tab is not supported?

I have two tabs in my project and I want the application to start with the first tab active, but it always starts with the second tab active. How do I select which tab is active when the app starts?

Hi Dan. Thanks for the feedback. I'm not talking about a DD - I'm talking about a numeric field with the 'Use Popup' box checked. I found that the popup appears even if the state visible=false is set in conditional logic.

I have a field that I want to display only sometimes. When it displays I'd like to use the Pop up feature. My testing shows that even if I set it to visible=false the popup still displays. I would expect it to respect the state of the visible attribute. Is there a workaround to this?

Thanks Dan. I am counting clock-in and clock-out records to capture job run times. The system does a lookup to see which type of record it's recording and only shows a quantity field when I'm capturing a clock-out record. Both clock-in and clock-out use the same profile. When the last field for...

I have a field (a) that's displayed sometimes. The previous field (b) has a 'go to field' of field (a). Field (a) has a 'go to field' of field (c). This is fine when field (a) is displayed (so the cursor moves to (a) then (b) then (c) and then back to (a)). However, if field (b) is set to...

I'm finding that even if a field is not visible it still has to conform to validation rules. This causes a problem when fields need to be validated when visible but ignored when not visible. Is this the expected behavior? I'd expect that visible=false fields would not be validated. If this is...

Update. I I set the value to Visible=True in Form Designer the Form Logic rules are able to operate normally. If Visible=False in Form Designer then it is always false no matter the value set in Form Logic. This seems like a bug to me. I'd think it should be okay to start with a field's...

Is anyone having trouble with the SetVisible action in Form Logic in 9.1? I have a condition that I've proven is working correctly (by setting the action to ShowMessage) but when I change the action to SetVisible I can't get it to work. The field that's trying to be set to Visible=True is...

I've been unable to get the LEFT function to give me any result. I have a calculated field with my Source Field set, type INDEX and an index value of 1 (I've also tried 0 and 2 without success). In all my testing I've never been able to return a result. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, I wasn't totally clear on my requirement. The start and end scans are at totally different times, with other scans in between. I tested the solution you mentioned but it doesn't allow for in-between scans (it stores the last scan time and uses it for the secondary time). I worked through...
