"Create Label" form's fields don't get change when using "hiRegTimer"

izucker

Hi,

I want to set the "Create Label" forms' field/s.
As long as "le0LabelForm" is defined (the form was at least once called) there is no problem doing something like:
le0LabelForm~>labelText~>value= "text"


The problem is how to set the field on first time the form is launched, meaning that the le0LabelForm is not defined yet.
I tried various solutions including using hiRegTimer with no success.

Please advise.

 

Thanks,
Itay

    Hi Itay,

    There's no need to use a timer. Use this:

    form=leGetTechFormList(techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView()))->labelForm
    unless(hiIsInstantiated(form) hiInstantiateForm(form))
    form->labelText->value="blah"

    This will take care of getting the right form - one is created per technology database. The above should work if the form has never been brought up, or if it's been used already.

    Hope that helps,

    Regards,

    Andrew.
