OnAfterGetCurrRecord does not fire

Toddy_Boy

I'm trying to update a factbox from a list using the OnAfterGetCurrRecord however this seems to fire very intermittently - I can see this through code coverage but cannot work out why the record will not fire when it gets focus.

Any advice?

A flow field on the main list page has a field size of 40 characters where as the field being flowed from has a size of 50. This was not raising an error unless said field is clicked on in the list. Once the list field size has been amended to 50 characters then all works fine.

Hi,

Per definition factbox is supposed to be used only to show the data. If you look at Microsoft website it says.

A FactBox displays additional information to the user in a pane located on the right of the main page display area.

when you say in your email

I'm trying to update a factbox fr

I hope you mean you want to refresh the factbox.

If you really want to update the factbox, then use a subpage or you can write a controladdin that will allow you to do this.

In general if you setup the fact box correctly it will update when the record changes.
Have a look at the providerID property

I hope this helps.
