Hi,
Using indirection to refer to a number of similarly named edit controls (EDT_h followed by a number) I can set various properties of each edit control.
For example, using i as a variable counter
{"EDT_h"+i+"..Visible"}=True
{"EDT_h"+i+"..Value"}=arrPosition[i]
{"EDT_h"+i+"..Caption"}=Right(arrCodepos[i],Length(arrCodepos[i])-1)
Works like a charm and the screen is instantly updated.
But when I try
{"EDT_h"+i+"..X"}=(IMG_Wp_dwg..X+IMG_Wp_dwg..Width)
the X position is modified in memory as I can see in the debugger, but on screen the position is not modified. Same with ..Y.
All properties seem modifyable except for the X and Y values.
Any ideas ? A page refresh does not do the trick.
Thanks |

By the way the edit control is set to stackable. |

Hi Stef
I think that it should be something like
{"EDT_h"+numtostring(i),indControl}..Property
Best regards

Hi Fabrice,
I am becoming very fond of your answers Farbrice, so I will try to get a bit of your help once more 
The syntax you suggest works, but the edit controls will still not move on screen. All other properties I change (caption, value ...) instantly change both in memory and on screen. Only properties X and Y change only in memory but are not reflected on screen. |

Hi Stef
I do not have enough information to be sure, but it looks like you have
a problem between the server and browser codes, a refresh of the page
with the initial position and so on... So a few possible problems :
Where do you change the position (in which code)?
Browser ?
Server ?
Ajax ?
Do you refresh the page afterward?
best regards

Hi Fabrice,
Here are the answers to your questions:
- Where do you change the position (in which code)?
The code is executed in a local procedure of the page where the edit controls reside.
- Browser ? Server ? Ajax ?
The local procedure is server code, run in non-ajax mode.
- Do you refresh the page afterward?
Yes I do using PageRefresh(PageName).
But whether this line of code is added or not makes no difference at all and other properties of the edit controls are even modified on screen without the PageRefresh command.
The code I orininally used:
...
1. {"EDT_v"+i+"..X"}=(IMG_Wp_dwg..X+(arrPosition[i]*rScale)-(EDT_Template..Width/2)-7+nHorcorrFactor)
2. {"EDT_v"+i+"..Y"}=(IMG_Wp_dwg..Y+IMG_Wp_dwg..Height)
3. {"EDT_v"+i+"..Visible"}=True
4. {"EDT_v"+i+"..Value"}=arrPosition[i]
5. {"EDT_v"+i+"..Caption"}=Right(arrCodepos[i],Length(arrCodepos[i])-1)
6. PageRefresh(Page_Main1)
This syntax is accepted an the code runs without errors, but lines 1 and 2 do not have any effect, lines 3,4,5 and 6 work.
Making the edit controls visible first also makes no difference.
Then I used your syntax which is also accepted
{"EDT_h"+NumToString(i),indControl}..X= ...
...
PageRefresh(Page_Main1)
but the problem remains the same, only the values in memory get updated, not on screen.
Hope this supplies you with enough information.

Solved !
The issue depends on a property of the edit control itself. The edit control only moves on screen when in the GUI tab the Type is set to dynamic instead of automatic as is by default. |
