Re: Listbox Subform Modern UI
Robert, First off I wouldn't recommend trying to implement any of the new ORDA style techniques in existing forms. I just don't see any benefit. So, if you have the opportunity to make a new form to replace an existing one I recommend spending some time getting familiar with the new Form object. This completely changes the way you make a form. From there the way subforms work now is very cool and so. much.easier. Specifically check out OBJECT SET SUBFORM. With this you can change what's displayed in a subform object instantly. So you can setup a manner of 'sub' forms and switch them in the subform object. There's a bit to learn here if you are just starting in with ORDA but the payoff is large.

Re: Listbox Subform Modern UI
Hi Kirk, I’m using Windows v17.2. The unusual issues with the Subform have been fixed, thanks to Tim Nevels. The converted database had fields defined on the included form which did not leave enough space for the chosen font size. Converted databases can take slightly more room and if there is no room to give than very strange behavior ensues. So for now this database will continue to use the old subform approach in these Admin only areas… but I’m still curious how you might choose to implement this with Listboxes.

Re: Listbox Subform Modern UI
What would cause a subform (not a listbox) to only show the first of several related records and when you click below that record, the first record disappears? ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Listbox Subform Modern UI
Although, I’ve implemented this in various ways, I’d like to know the modern UI approach that you’ve found to be beneficial to your users and with an efficient programming effort. How do you handle included subforms (on a detailed form)? I’ve replaced an old included form with a new listbox object ( that’s populated with a related election of records. When I assign a required list to the only field presented in the listbox the selected record is not maintained which prevents the delete button from working. Also, the interface is a bit clunky since adding new records brings up the related table input form… So, how do you approach simple listbox objects to manage multiple related records where the acceptable values must be entered from a certain list.
