DW / DropDownListBox Bug (PB 12.6/Builder 4088)

PB 12.6 Build 4088

Hi All,

I think I have a bug, but do not know if it is addressed, or known, or I am crazy!

Bug: I am trying to apply a simple Edit/Style/DropDownListBox to a string column in a Datawindow.

        It will not work for me.

        No, the column is not protected when I expect the DropDownListBox to work.

I have successfully migrated PB 11.5 apps over whose dropdowns are working in 12.6.

Yet starting a new DropDownListBox seems futile.

I've closely compared the working column from a different dw to my new column.. they are identical except for values.

Is anyone else having this issue? Is it me?

Is there a list somewhere to see if it is known?

Is it fixed in a later release and I do not know about it?

You get the idea.. I need to be informed and act!

Hi Jason;

  Works great for me here in PB 12.6 build 4088 (test PC - W7 64bit) ...

HTH

Hi Chris,

How about a DropDownListBox, not DropDownDW.

I should also mention.. within the PB IDE, like your example above, it appears to work. But when I run the app, it does not work. I have searched high and low for code that might cause the dropdown to not open, but there is none. In fact, I can use the arrows to scroll through the dddw list, and I can see the arrow, but the list will not open up.

Clicking arrow does nothing, but arrows will scroll through Client list...

Found the answer!

Chris, forgive me for wasting any of your time, but perhaps I can help someone prevent this in the future.

I had a pbm_dwndropdown event whose ancestor had RETURN 1.

That is the problem!

Zero (0) means continue processing, but the ancestor was already preventing it from working!
