This seems really odd, perhaps it is my typing, but for a number of versions
I've noticed this odd behaviour which I can't track down, but what is
happening is that when a dialog box is presented during a function that
returns something eg boolean, then when the program continues to execute back
in the calling routine, when it gets to the 'end' of a subroutine, the 'end'
terminates the program and drops the user back into the IDE. If no dialog in
the subroutine, nothing happens. Almost like the 'end' is becoming a signal to
quit the program.
The following is a typical subroutine:
Public Sub EditArea_Buttons_Click()
Select Case Last.tag
Case "clear"
Editarea_Clear()
Case "analyse"
Analyse_Data()
Case "import"
Import()
End Select
End
Notice, that it ends with end, not end sub ?am I typing it wrong?
Now, prior to importing, I want to analyse the thousands of lines of patient
demographic data, to make sure they all have appropriate sex, title, suburbs,
postcodes, as legacy data is often falty, so I do this:
Public Sub Analyse_Data()
'-------------------------------------------------------------
'Analyse the file, point out any glaring errors but don't save
'Display progress as we go by counter, the patients details
'show error messages
'-------------------------------------------------------------
If Not Valid_Selection() Then Return
...etc
Public Sub Valid_Selection() As Boolean
If cmbDemographicSource.index = -1 Or cmbVersion.index = -1 Then
Message.Info("Please select the source program and version before
proceeding")
Return False
End If
Now, if this subroutine returns false and I step through the subroutine, when
it gets to the 'end' statement designated here by *****, then the program
literally ends, and deposits me back in the IDE ( or quits if compiled)
Public Sub EditArea_Buttons_Click()
Select Case Last.tag
Case "clear"
Editarea_Clear()
Case "analyse"
Analyse_Data()
Case "import"
Import()
End Select
End ******
Any thoughts?
Regards
Richard
