has anyone tried using a valuelist for navigation ie to change from one form to another by selecting the form from a valuelist.
even if it means creating a new table to hold the form names it seems like it might be a way to create a navigation list that does not require a lot of space on the form
How about: you can retrieve all form names using a method. You put all those in a table, and give them names in a description column. Then you build a value list in a method and attach that to a global. The value list shows the descriptive column and delivers the form name. On that global you attach an onDataChange method that jumps to the form that belongs to the name the user chose.
That is very easy and works very well
thanks Patrick, sound excellent.,
Ill have to do read some tutorials on globals, cant believed ive not used any yet. they seemed comlicated but then again so did valuelists at first..
do you use this method yourself?
many thanks…
not exactly for that, but something similar, yes.
Hi Megaquests
I use a similar technique in one of my solutions: all File Names and Views/Layouts held in a Table and selectively shown using a Tabless Panel.
Feature in www.servoymagazine.com/home/2004/12/sho … orxin.html may provide some ideas. Feel free to contact me backchannel if you need more - or maybe see you at the SLUG meeting this evening.
