Is there a fix for allowing the onAction event to fire from a field attached to a non-multiline portal? I’ve had to work around this problem by using a multline portal, but would like to be able to resize, sort etc.
If no fix is available, is there any timeframe for fixing?
TIA
the on action is working fine for me in a portal.
if i attach a method with this code
application.output(“action”)
to a element in a portal the method is executed normally.
i have tested it on WinXP and on the Mac with the latest RC6
I have a portal that displays records from a related file. The fields are un-editable. When I click on a field in one of the lines of the portal I want to execute a method to pop up a form in dialog with other fields from the related record. Right now this only works if the portal is coded as multiline. Quite literally, all I have to do is check the multiline box to get the onAction event to execute; otherwise, nada!
Are you saying that I have to embed the application.output(something) instruction within the method listed in the onAction property of the portal field?
aha yes look now i have information i want
you are using a non editable field. I was using a editable field and then pressing enter.
But for now this will not be supported, i will look if that can be changed but this behaviour is deep inside the table component itself
If you set something non editable in a table (portal or tableview) the component it self will never “be there”. Only used for rendering.. So you don’t click on the field itself, so no action can be fired. (it never get’s that far)
You have to use a button for this at this time.
