Servoy Forum

Hello,

I am working on upgrading from Servoy 5 up to Servoy 8, and have run into a few issues with our solution in the Smart Client.

When I launch the solution and load a form, I can use the default Find/Search methods to reduce my search, but if I try to do it again, it gets stuck in Find mode, the Search option is disabled in the 'Select' menu.

If I create a form method that only contains 'foundset.search();' and assign it to a button on the form, it seems to work. It doesn't work if I assign that method to OnSearch, however.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem or have any possible solutions?

Of course as soon as I post I figure out the cause of the problem. I forgot to mention in my post that it wasn't happening in all forms, only forms with multiple tab panels/lots of stuff going on. I began isolating each tab and removing/adding any form methods and figured out we had set a method on a few tab panels onRecordSelection that uses find/search to search other forms that open in external windows via a button, which was entirely unnecessary in our case and in fact redundant because the find/search were also performed when the forms are opened. Leaving this here in case anyone else finds it useful.

We converted all find()/search() code in our solution to query builder objects. Query builder is more versatile and reliable. You may want to consider this for your upgrade.
