getting the maximum value of the the items in Col6 of the list

(which I did get with with maxc(myList,myCol)).

But I thought that myList.Col6.$maximum() would do the job without having a column name

Thank you guys 🙏!

At least a work around.

I helped myself with turning the local variables into instance variables. Works but is messy, dangerous & lacking elegance 💃…

Hi Andreas,

I’ve enclosed a screenshot of the code editor (but without the error – it comes up only occasionally when debugging on other areas…). The errors come up with lrGP.

No copying of definitions, but see yourself…:

Hi Götz,

I am working on MacOS 14.1.1 (23B81) Sonoma, Omnis 11 xxx5659, and on Safari, Chrome AND Firefox the droplist does not scroll.

I’ll work around it in the meantime…

Best regards

Hi Andreas,

yes, it does help – by knowing FOR SURE it doesn’t work – so I need not over strain my one brain cell ( I only have that one!), and by pointing me in the right direction. I will do a

taSuper.$getValue(pSchema,pID,pFieldName)

so I’m not limited to a predetermined field.

Thanx a lot!

Uwe

issue c) is still unsolved (probably because of this forum software’s tendency to ‘beautify’ paragraphs after ‘preformatted text’ (code blocks etc)):

How do I kindly ask Omnis to stick to system wide preferences regarding the formatting of numbers, i.e. comma as decimal separator, point as thousands separator?

[Uwe Smidt]

Dear Götz,

Yep, that worked fine!

Thank you!

Uwe

Damn… still not working!

I put

Do inherited
Calculate myVariable as $cinst.$currentlayoutbreakpoint
If $cinst.$currentlayoutbreakpoint=320
Do $cinst.$objs.native_list.$width.$assign(10)
Else If $cinst.$currentlayoutbreakpoint=768
Do $cinst.$objs.native_list.$width.$assign(100)
Else
Do $cinst.$objs.native_list.$width.$assign(0)
End If

in my remote forms $init, but $cinst.$currentlayoutbreakpoint just doesn’t do anything

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Uwe

Hi Michael,

This makes perfect sense – thanks for your help!

Dear $Omnis,

Do you have an update for me? We have Omnis 11 now, and when starting Omnis, there is a message ‘restoring previous IDE state’. So the basic toolkit to fulfill my wishes seems to be there…

Maybe there is a work around for me in the meantime, like having multiple config files, one for each screen setup…?

Best regards

Uwe

[Uwe Smidt]

Thanx a lot Andreas!

Both ways work fine!

But why did this not work:

# alternatively, try this
Calculate liFormOldWidth as llFormObjectsOrig.Col6.$maximum()
# is null

[Uwe Smidt]

Good morning Andreas,

Sorry, the picture was only to show that there were no ‘copydefintions’…, but straight forward code. It is an occasional bug, so I cannot reproduce it right now. My build is newer than the fixed one, so it could be a new/different bug (or old problem sitting in front of the computer)…

I’ll send you a screenie as soon as the problem reoccurs, but now that the bug knows that YOU are watching it, it will probably hide…

Have a great week!

Uwe

Dear Joey,

Thank you for your elaborate answer (including a great sample lib!) – so elaborate that it took me a while to evaluate 😉

But now I did – and yes, you are right, $sendallref does the trick!

Do ilExportList.$define() ## clear definition
Do ilExportList.$add()
# Alter, funktionierender Code ohne $Sendall:
# For ilColList.$line from 1 to ilColList.$linecount step 1 ## für alle Spalten...
# If ilColList.export ## NUR die markierten Spalten...
# Do ilExportList.$cols.$add(ilColList.colname,kCharacter,kSimplechar,255) ## kommen in die Spaltenüberschriften
# Calculate ilExportList.1.[ilColList.colname] as ilColList.title
# End If
# End For
Do ilColList.$sendall(ilExportList.$cols.$add($sendallref.colname,kCharacter,kSimplechar,255),$ref.export) ## ACHTUNG: hier $sendallref erforderlich, da mit ...$add eine Untermethode mit Parameter aus der Übermethode ...$sendall aufgerufen wird. Nur so wird der Parameter korrekt übergeben (byValue vs byRef)
Do ilColList.$sendall(ilExportList.1.[$ref.colname].$assign($sendallref.title),$ref.export)

Because in ilExportList.$cols.$add($sendallref.colname<font face=”inherit”> the $add sends </font>the<font face=”inherit”> parameter into another method, which is why $ref’s by Value does not work, but $sendallref’s by reference does! </font>

<font face=”inherit”>Thank you for your help in grasping an important difference!</font>

<font face=”inherit”>Best regards</font>

Dear Andreas,
Thank you for your great sample – I have integrated it into my library, and it works fine!

Best regards
Uwe

Great, thanx Andreas!
