Hi,

How do I get the Hotfix for the Trial Version since I can not get into the Developer Network?

I would like to try it to see if it clears up my problems.

Thanks,

Doug

The LoadValue(true) function will be available in the release hotfix today. The InstantLookup mode will only lookup item when the user leave the textbox, by using the Enter key, LostFocus, or clicking the dropdown icon, it will not be available after every keystroke.

This mode will also solve the fast typer scenario you are having in the earlier post.

I am not sure about the conflict you are having in the LostFocus, perhaps if you could give us the snippet of the function we could help you solve the issue.

Hi,

Is the hotfix available for the LoadValue(true) problem not working synchronously?

I see there is a SP1 Refresh that came out today.

Thanks,

Doug

I tried it but it has some draw backs.

The Lookup only takes place on Enter, Lost Focus or Click on DropDown. I need it after every keystroke.

Typing Text in causes the DropDown to Close.

It also seems be having conflicts with my ClientSideEvents.OnLostFocus.

After discussing this matter with the developer, our suggestion for the scenario you are facing is to use the InstantLookup entry mode. This mode will ensure that the AfterItemSelected will be called during Adding or Searching existing item. A sample of InstantLookup mode has been provided on the EntryMode_InstantLookup.aspx page in the WebCombo sample.

Will this be a favorable solution for your scenario?

The next hotfix is scheduled to be released in the next two week at the latest. The trial version is elegible for the update, however you will need to do the update manually and wait the download link to be provided by the customer support.

I am still discussing the solution for the asynchronous process in your scenario with the developer.

Hi,

It seems like OnTheFlyPostBack is async, so I would still have the same problem.

4. When might the next hotfix build be available for LoadValue(true)?

5. Will I be able to apply it to the trial version? I would like to know it works before I buy it.

I have noticed, the AddItem Action takes place, but the LoadData Action only takes place if what is typed is going to be in the List.

6. So, currently is there anyway to determine if a LoadData Action, will or will not take place or if async processing is complete?

We have some documentation regarding AddInput on WebUIFramework documentation in the article titled Walkthrough: Sending data to server using OnTheFlyPostBack architecture

The LoadValue(true) method will not execute synchronously in the latest released build. This will be fix in the next hotfix build.

Hi,

1. There are a couple problems with AfterItemSelected.

- It does not always occur

--- Empty String

--- Not it the list

- If it does occur, no reason to wait for the LoadData Action because the list is already loaded

2. I did try playing withe SendCustomRequest, but it had to wait for the LoadData. Where do I find some docs on AddInput Method?

3. How do I get the LoadValue(true) Method to execute synchrnously? It isn't working for me.

Hi,

On 10/6/2009, I downloaded the trial version, "intersoft webui studio 2009 r1 sp1.exe".

I have a PARTS_LIST Table with over 10,000 records.

I have implemented the WebCombo with the code below.

When the User types in a Part Number in the PARTS_LIST Table, I need to populate the DESCRIPTION in an asp:TextBox with Client Side Code.

I want to allow the user to pick from the PARTS_LIST Table or to enter a Part Number not in the Table.

If the User types in a Part Number into the TextBox portion of the WebCombo, which is in the Database, and Tabs off of it before the dropdown portion has loaded, the WebCombo.Value is incorrect.

This is probably occurring because the DropDown is being loaded asynchronously which allows the OnLostFocus Event to occur before it is loaded.

How do I wait in the Client Side OnLostFocus Event for the DropDown Loading to complete?

Or, is there another Client Side Event or configuration I should use?

Thanks,

Doug
