Re-ordering elements in the code editor

[Andreas Pfeiffer]

Hi Uwe,

You can re-arrange the methods using drag&drop.

However I think you are talking about the fields listed in the method editor. They order is given by the $order property of the fields which also controls the tab order.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Yeah, works great, thank you!

When doing this, I noticed maybe 100 edit fields ‘0’ in the field list that I did not create myself. I suppose they were created by system crashes or so? Since there is no ‘delete’ command in the context menu, I removed them with the ‘cut’ command in the edit menu.

Is there a more elegant/efficient way to remove this kind of ‘garbage’?

Best regards

Uwe

Hi Uwe,

This is a know bug in an older Omnis version.

You can use a little code to get rid of any component that has no id. Something like this should work:

Set reference lObjRef to pClassRef.$objs.$first()
While lObjRef
If lObjRef.$ident=0
Do pClassRef.$objs.$remove(lObjRef)
Set reference lObjRef to pClassRef.$objs.$first()
Else
Set reference lObjRef to pClassRef.$objs.$next(lObjRef)
End If
End While
Save class [pClassRef.$lib().$name].[pClassRef.$name]

“pClassRef” is an item reference to the class in question (not the instance). “lObjRef” is a local item reference variable.

The code loops through any field and if $ident is zero it will delete this field. Probably you would need to also implement a recursive call as it can happen that fields are inside containers. Let me know if you need this too.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Andreas
