Solution ID: P3680
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1D
SYMPTOM(s):
Using SmartObjects
A HELP trigger attached to a frame (with or without the ANYWHERE option) is not working
CAUSE:
A HELP trigger that is defined in the following manner does not get invoked within the SmartContainer itself:
ON 'HELP':U ANYWHERE
DO:
MESSAGE "HELP ANYWHERE" VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
END.
FIX:
The fix for this problem is to change the code as follows:
1) Ensure that the hContainer variable has a valid value prior to the ON statement being invoked. The code to do that is as follows:
DEFINE VARIABLE hContainer as HANDLE NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN hContainer = DYNAMIC-FUNCTION('getContainerHandle':U).
IF hContainer:TYPE ='WINDOW' THEN
ASSIGN hContainer = hContainer:FIRST-CHILD.
2) Change the ON statement so that it refers to the hContainer variable. The code change is as follows:
ON 'HELP':U OF hContainer ANYWHERE
DO:
MESSAGE "HELP ANYWHERE" VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
END.
