Table Box Page Up and Down

Toddy_Boy

Is there an easy way (I'm guessing not) of getting Navision to page up and down the entries on a table box by clicking aPage Up and Down buttons, this will have the same effect as clicking the slide bar so the current bottom row of the table box moves to the top and the rows underneath are refreshed.

Cheers

:?:
This should just work.
My page up and down buttons do what you describe.

Toddy_Boy

what do i have to assign to a button to make it page up and down? there's nothing obvious in the onPush event.

tinoruijs

Ok. Now I understand you. You want to click on new button which simulates page up and a new button which simulates page down. Right?

Just Curious; why?

Toddy_Boy

Your assumption is correct. Our client has touch screen terminals, so when presented with a list of records they would like to click a nice big page up and page down button rather than trying to click on the slide bar.

Make a new MenuButton.

1. Up (Ctrl+U)
2. down (Ctrl+D)

behind 1. type follwing in OnPush() Trigger

if next(-20) = 0 then;

behind 2. type follwing in OnPush() Trigger

if next(20) = 0 then;

Hi garak

I like that solution =D>

however, how do I know how many rows are visible? if there are 20 rows visible as in your example then all well and good, but if the user has the screen resized then the paging isn't quite right. :-k

garak

Tja, thats the problem ;-)

You can use SendKeys to send the PgUp PgDown keypress when you press the button...

garak

ever i say: people use sendkeys and wsh, but here i've forgotten the sendkey option ](*,)

here the source

Variable:
Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
WSHShell	Automation	'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell	

if isclear(WSHShell) then
  create(WSHShell);

WSHShell.SendKeys('{PGDN}'); //{PGUP}

Regards :oops:

Guys well done and thanks that works well =D> Had a few problems with PgDown until I used the correct syntax.

However, the table box doesn't seem to refresh properly. When I click on a row after I have paged the details on the row change. I am using a temp table for this card so could the real records and the temp records become out of step after paging?

Toddy_Boy

A bit of a mistake, the table is not temp table, which makes the reason why the records are not refreshing properly a little curious. #-o

Hi,

Have you tried putting in a currform.update(FALSE); to refresh the screen ?
