Merge fields & find mode

Classic Servoy
1

It looks like certain merge fields show up as java.lang objects when in search mode.

See picture below.

BTW you can not use these on your controller-bar!
because it is showing the recordcount of the controller-bar and not the current controller.

As far as I know there is no: currentcontroller.recordIndex

Should they show blank?

Fixed in the next beta release (b6)

Is there anyway to have this functionality? Just for me? :wink:

I would love a currentcontroller.recordIndex parameter.

currentcontroller.recordIndex works, actually, although it appears that it has been superseded in 2.1 with:

currentcontroller.getSelectedIndex and
currentcontroller.setSelectedIndex

It doesn’t seem to work on merged text!

If I understand what you’re trying to do…

Have you tried populating a global field with currentcontroller.getSelectedIndex in a method that fires onRecordSelect? - and then using the global in the merge field? I do this to show the number of the current record in my controller.

Also, you might be able to get it to work in a calculated field, too, without an onRecordSelect method, though I havent tried that…

Like this, for those that are curious:

globals.gRecordIndex = forms.contact_main.controller.getSelectedIndex();

globals.gMaxRecordIndex = forms.contact_main.controller.getMaxRecordIndex();

did you enable the useTags Property on the label or field?
