Problem with Quicksearch

Classic Servoy
1

I’ve been using Quicksearch a shown in one of the servoy-magazine-articles for quiet a while now.
Recently I had some issues with servoy 3.18 and servoy 3.57 where the entry within the find-mode overwrites the actual fieldcontent.
I have a global called ‘globals.globalcompanyname’ in the left navigation that holds the companyrequest.

forms.dp_01_portal.controller.find()

if (forms.dp_01_portal.controller.find()) //find will fail if autosave is disabled and there are unsaved records

{

forms.dp_01_portal.userdataprojects_to_userdata.apunternehmen = "#%"+globals. globalcompanyname +"%"

forms.dp_01_portal.controller.newRecord();

forms.dp_01_portal.userdataprojects_to_userdata.apnachname = "#%"+globals. globalcompanyname +"%"

forms.dp_01_portal.controller.newRecord();

forms.dp_01_portal.userdataprojects_to_products.katap01unternehmen = "#%"+globals. globalcompanyname +"%"

forms.dp_01_portal.controller.newRecord();

forms.dp_01_portal.userdataprojects_to_products.katap04unternehmen = "#%"+globals. globalcompanyname +"%"

forms.dp_01_portal.controller.search();

Maybe there is another technique that works better. The strange thing is that the failure only occurs with the clients and only very rarly.
Any hints?

This happens when servoy is not able to enter find mode, usually because there is unsaved data and autosave is off.
Your code looks wrong to me:

forms.dp_01_portal.controller.find()

if (forms.dp_01_portal.controller.find()) //find will fail if autosave is disabled and there are unsaved records
{
forms.dp_01_portal.userdataprojects_to_userdata.apunternehmen = “#%”+globals. globalcompanyname +“%”
forms.dp_01_portal.controller.newRecord();
…
…

Try this:

if (!forms.dp_01_portal.controller.find()) //find will fail if autosave is disabled and there are unsaved records
{
   databaseManager.saveData()
   forms.dp_01_portal.controller.find()
}

  forms.dp_01_portal.userdataprojects_to_userdata.apunternehmen = "#%"+globals. globalcompanyname +"%"
  forms.dp_01_portal.controller.newRecord();
....
....

Thanks Nicola,

I will give it a try.
