How to create an attachmentList for a form

psill00

I want to create a attachmentList for a form with a loop

for( i 0 10

     attList = append1( attList stringToSymbol("hicLeftPercentSet | hicTopPercentSet | hicRightPercentSet | hicBottomPercentSet "))

hiCreateAppForm(?name 'custWhaaamoForm
?fields fieldList
?formTitle "Whaaamo"
?initialSize list(200 950)
?buttonLayout 'Empty
?attachmentList attList
)

  • Paul,

    Why are you using stringToSymbol? That's not going to work because it tries to create a symbol out of that big string (it won't evaluate it). Instead use:

    for( i 0 10
         attList = append1( attList hicLeftPercentSet | hicTopPercentSet | hicRightPercentSet | hicBottomPercentSet)
    )

    or better still (since they're all the same) - use cons because it's more efficient than append1:

    for( i 0 10
         attList = cons( hicLeftPercentSet | hicTopPercentSet | hicRightPercentSet | hicBottomPercentSet  attList)
    )

    Regards,

    Thanks for the info

    As for the stringToSymbol, goes to a basic law of the internet.

    That made me laugh!

    I also meant to mention that you should also look at using layout forms, as these are much more flexible than the old attachment-list way of making resizable forms.
