Hi there,

 

I have a paging screen in change mode only. After the paging screen paints I want control to automatically position on a field in the first record. I want this done without me having to hit change mode or anything. I have investigated ObjectReference.StartInNavigation = value but am not sure if this will do what I want. The documentation doesn't tell me in what logic event to use it in. The same documentation also refers to .StartNavigationField but it doesn't appear to be a valid method.

 

If someone can tell me a way to do this I would appreciate it.

 

Regards

Ross

I think I have achieved this in the past. I recall that I used @SPSEQ. The documentation reads as follows

 

Contains the sequence number of the record that is to be the first record displayed in the Paging Screen.  This is normally assigned a value in logic before commencing the Paging Screen

 

I recall that the setting of @SPSEQ also selects the row in the paging screen for edit. So in your case setting @SPSEQ to 1 should do it.

Hi Darren,

 

Yes, that did the trick and got me to the first field. I just put logic in to do a field jump on logic before this field and it gets me to the desired field.

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi Ross,

 

Also another handy thing to do is to be able to exit the paging screen (possibly to process data and remove records from the paging screen) and then to re-enter the paging screen at the same start and record position as before. Rather than post the details here I have included a simple demo paging screen (attached) which you can download and play with (the vpx or out file contains Function TESTPAGS and a memory file definition TESTPAGING (the data is built and deleted in the function).

 

Best Regards,
