Skill Form - ENUMSET

camdal894

Hey guys,

Currently I'm running through skill tutorials on reference designer, and having an issue with the .form posted in the "advanceform" tutorial. Link to this below:

www.referencedesigner.com/.../allegro_skill_76.php

I've narrowed it down to the ENUMSET portion of the .form.

FIELD pop1
FLOC 20 10
ENUMSET 6
POP "pop1"
ENDFIELD

When this portion above is included in the .form, I get an error when I try to run the skill.

("*Error* axlFormDisplay: argument #1 should be any user-defined (other) type (type template = "o") - nil")

If I change this portion to use any of the other styles of field (CHECKLIST, SLIDEBAR, etc.), or if I remove this portion all together, then everything else will work as expected.

Is there something obviously wrong with the syntax of this section of .form code? Or any other suggestions at all to get an ENUMSET (drop-down) field to work?

Thanks a lot,
Cameron

    I think the error is caused by the lack of a POPUP definition before POP entry, below is what I had in some code I wrote last year:

    POPUP <SOURCECLASS_P>"PLACEHOLDER""0".

    FIELD SourceClass
    FLOC 2 4
    ENUMSET 20
    POP "SOURCECLASS_P"
    ENDFIELD

    Thanks very much David, this was exactly what I needed. New code in .form as below gave me drop down with YES, and NO options. This was not included in the example code from tutorial.

    POPUP <popup>"YES""YES","NO""NO"

    FIELD popdown1
    FLOC 20 10
    ENUMSET 6
    POP "popup"
    ENDFIELD
