Hello,

I have encountered the following problem:

We have a web application based on lansas paradigm of signaling
events for switching between reusables (panels).

In a reusable let's say A I have a list and whenever I double click a row we want
the application to switch to another panel (reusable) B and run a function there
than populates some fields an lists on screen.

So my code in A looks like

Code: Select all

Evtroutine Handling(#BROWSE.ItemDoubleClick)

#B.policy := #POLNUM	* poliy is an auto property in reusable B, also B has  Scope(*APPLICATION) in A
#gApplication.Show_INFO	* this hides this screen of A then enables and shouws reusable B and signals the event ShowInfo

Endroutine

The 1st line sets the policy property and the second signals the event ShowINFO (#gApplicaton has also Scope(*APPLICATION))

Within the reusable B I have the following:

Code: Select all

Evtroutine Handling(#gApplication.ShowINFO)

If (#policy > 0)
#COM_OWNER.ResetState()
#POLNUMX := #policy 		* #POLNUMX is a visual field
#COM_OWNER.BeginSearch()	* this returns some info on the screen
Endif
#policy := -1

Endroutine

The problem is that even though the code within BeginSearch() runs normally
the results don't show on the screen.

But whenever the #POLNUMX is hardcoded e.g.

Code: Select all

Evtroutine Handling(#gApplication.ShowINFO)

#policy := 1249469

If (#policy > 0)
#COM_OWNER.ResetState()
#POLNUMX := #policy * #POLNUMX is a visual field
#COM_OWNER.BeginSearch()
Endif
#policy := -1

Endroutine

everything runs fine.

any ideas?

cheers,
Sotiris

Have you tried passing the policy with the event? Something like this?

define_evt ShowINFO
define_map for(*input) Class(#policy) name(#pPolicy)

Change this method to also pass the policy
#gApplication.Show_INFO pPolicy(#policy)

Change the evtroutine to get the parm

Evtroutine Handling(#gApplication.ShowINFO) pPolicy(#myPolicy)
#policy := #myPolicy
If (#policy > 0)
#COM_OWNER.ResetState()
#POLNUMX := #policy * #POLNUMX is a visual field
#COM_OWNER.BeginSearch()
Endif
#policy := -1

Endroutine

Hi,

I think this is an example of quite a common mistake....

Your comment says B has scope *application IN A.

There's only ever truly one instance of B if the define_com has the same name and scope *application EVERYWHERE in your app.

So my guess is that that isn't true and you end up setting your property on a different instance than what you think.

Having said that, I would
keep scope *application limited to a single application object for simplicity and go with Art's solution

Thank you all,

it works now after following your instructions

However now there is another problem that seems like a lansa bug.

When I go back to reusable A, then scroll the list (without using the mouse wheel), at the time the mouse button is released the following appears:

Code: Select all

LANSA Runtime Error:

Cannot read property 'fj' of null
.
.
.

The procedure to go from B to A is similar. There is a button that fires an event:

Code: Select all

Evtroutine Handling(#GAPPLICATION.ShowPRINT)
#COM_OWNER.LoadData()		*This calls #LoadSalpData.ExecuteAsync and #LoadHedpData.ExecuteAsync
Endroutine

that loads the data by calling Asynchronously two server module routines.

To circumvent the problem I defined a trigger that calls #COM_OWNER.LoadData() only if the user did not double clicked previously.

Code: Select all

Evtroutine Handling(#GAPPLICATION.ShowPRINT)
If (#printToInfo = false)
#COM_OWNER.LoadData()
Endif
#printToInfo := false
Endroutine

and within the Itemdoubleclick event of A:
#printToInfo := true

This works fine
but the crash should not be there in the first place.
