Just to be clear:
Please keep in mind that the last version of the software meanwhile is 2 years old and no further development will be made to it. There will be no new version and support is only available through forum members.
So if you find any bugs in the future (e.g. caused by windows updates or whatever), you will not get a solution.

Hello

If I use a MAP in a form and run the program, then a message appears that "Maps JavaScript API" is not supportet in the used browser.

I have installed several browsers: IE11 (old), Edge and Firefox.
Firefox is up to date and is set up as my default browser.

I guess, that MVD always uses the IE11 and with that MAPs are not running any more.

https://developers.google.com/maps/docu … rt#desktop
Beginning in August 2021, Internet Explorer 11 users have been seeing a warning message at the top of maps.
End users should begin using a different supported browser.
Maps JavaScript API and Maps Embed API support for Internet Explorer 11 will be entirely discontinued in November 2022.

Where can I change the browser used by MVD?

Kind Regards
Wood

Hi Derek

Thanks a lot for this fast and good working solution!
That was exactly what I was looking for.

Hi

I have a (master) form with some buttons. If I click on the buttons then other (sub) forms will be opened. This all works as expected.
I want these (sub) forms to look like being opened in a specific area of the masterform. They should be aligned (top, bottom, right, left) to the margins of a panel or something like that of the masterform.  Is this possible somehow?

Kind Regards
Wood

you misunderstand.
It will automatically renew on 2022-10-29 to 2023-10-29.
And next year it will automatically renew on 2023-10-29 to 2024-10-29.

and so on...    like all the years before!

The date doesn't mean anything yet.
This is usually automatically renewed every year.

There are now 55,892 users registered in this forum. The number is permanently increasing.
If you take a look at the user list and sort it in descending order by registration date, you will find thousands of generic usernames made up of 6 characters.
This means that there are thousands of users who could bring us unwanted messages like in the past few days.
If you exclude a user who is actually sending spam messages, the next user is waiting to do it.

Please take care of the forum a little more to keep such annoying messages away from users who are really interested in MVD.

Thanks in advance
Wood

Hi Lejoso

You can use a button with a short script like   Form1.Tablegrid1.dbUpdate;
or you can implement a timer. See example here:   http://myvisualdatabase.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7384  or 
you can search the forum for other solutions too [ like I did... wink ]

Hi,

It's just a small bug in new version 6.5

If you use the new styles with big borders (like for example SKY) and you enlarge the form to full screen, then the border will be invisible on the main screen where the form was opened. If you have more monitors connected, then you can see the "missing" borders on the other screens.

This is less of a problem the smaller the border is, but anyway, it seems to be wrong calculated, even when the border is small.

Kind Regards

Could you please check the users in the forum, before they can register.
It's absolutely anoying to read old topics, just because there are new entries from spam users.

See user examples attached

Hi Derek,

Please understand me correctly, I really want to thank you for the help.
However, some things are elementary and, in my opinion, should have solutions other than workarounds.
With this workaround, all developers must implement it. With a standard solution, it would work properly for everyone immediately and without effort.

Kind Regards

Hi,

If you edit a text in a grid and you have to to delete some chars and therefore push the Del-Key, then you will be asked, if you want to delete the whole record.

Version is 6.4 beta.

Hi
I have two suggestions for improvement.

a) it would be very useful, if renaming of a fieldname in a table would lead automatically to a renaming in the scripts, forms, sql-statements and relations too. This would help to reduce development time a lot, because you could make corrections very quick or develop an application as a kind of template. Just copy the project and rename fields (and labels) as needed and you have a new application.

b) it would be also helpful, if at least a caption could be changed in the object directly instead of first clicking on the object and then clicking into the the caption field of the properties. Maybe this could work with a double click on it and maybe it would work for some other properties too.

Kind Regards
Wood

Hi all,
Latest version of Boardsoftware PunBB is 1.4.4 from October 2015 and only supports max. PHP 5.6. It seems to be rather outdated. Although it is very uncomfortable, you should consider to change urgently both, Boardsoftware and PHP, to avoid more spam mails being spreaded to all your customers and fans!

Hello,

I found your (very interesting!) library application and downloaded it. Running the prebuilt Exe it works.
But if I open the .vdb with my MVD 6.3 and try to run it (without any changes) then an error message comes up:
unrecognized token...

Could you check this issue occasionally please?

Kind Regards
Wood

Hi,

will there be other objects available in near future?
You could start with simple objects like LINE, CIRCLE, RECTANGLE.
It would make MVD more comfortable.

What do you think about it?

Kind Regards

Hello

I'm also interested in that.

With a mark at "Save Password" this window should not appear on every new program start.
But keep in mind that there should be a possibility to change connection informations (e.g. if passwort changes and so on).
Maybe a new entry in the MVD menu could do that?

Kind Regards
Ewald

The little project to my questions...

Hi all,

for some reasons I tried very simple grid and stumbled into 4 issues you can see in the picture.
Can you take a look at it please? What am I doing wrong?

A
I tried to correct a simple typo after I got an correct error message, that a time of 200 minutes of course is wrong.
So I clicked into that field (Time01) positioned the cursor and then pressed delete to delete one number. But although I was editing the field, the question appeared, whether I want to delete the whole record or not. I think, this is not correct. Either I have marked the record and then want to delete it or I'm editing a field and then want to delete only something within the field.

B
Editing and then pressing Enter with an emtpy field (Text01) leads to an Access Violation error.

C1
I add a column Image01 to the form (only for displaying the records). Then I tried to add a new record where just some text fields should be filled then an error message appears, that I have 8 values for 9 columns. (I did not want to put in the image that way (I know that I have to do that in another way). The part of the message "8 Values" means that MVD recognized that it is not possible to insert a image that way. However, the following part of the message "9 columns" means that MVD immediately forgot what "8 values" means.

C2
The SQL query for debugging is to short to see which of the fields is causing the error.

Hi Derek

Thank you for this clue with the panels.
It might be a solution and I will check it out.

Do you have also an answer for my second question (the blue frame)?

Regards
Wood

Hi,

I tried to have more than one sequence of "taborders" to get the ability to build input blocks.
If I jump from field to field and I'm on the last field of a block, then I want to jump back to the first field of this block.
If I click into another block then I want to go around within this other block.
Clicking on a button brings me into the button block. Pressing TAB there lets me go round within the buttons.
I tried many combinations with tabstop=false and I also tried to write other taborder numbers into the taborder properties of the objects. Nothing worked as expected.

Q1: Is that even possible without scripting?
If not, I suggest a property like e.g. "NextTabNumber". If there is a value in this property for a field, then MVD jumps to this taborder number instead of following the regular taborder.


During the tests I could see, that when I'm on the last button (Tab11 in the example) and I jump to the first field (Tab0),
the first button (Tab8) will get a blue frame as if it would have focus. But the cursor is blinking in text field (Tab0), which means that this field has the focus.

Q2: What does that frame really mean?


(picture is in the zip of the small test project)

Kind Regards
Wood

Hi,

Just another proposal to get more overview and to simplify the work with MVD a little bit:

What about also listing the procedures on the right panel (with classes, functions etc.) and including them in the actions property of buttons too? See example in the picture.

Hi

If you click on objects (e.g. a button) in a form then the object explorer normaly displays the associated properties.
All works fine until the moment when you click on the script tab and then on the form tab again to return to the form.
At this moment the focus lies on the form which is displayed in the object explorer.
But on the other hand the object (the button) which had the focus when you clicked on script tab is still marked as focused, but it isn't focused any more.

Either the form has the focus then the object (button) should not be marked "focused" any more or
the object (button) has the focus again then object explorer should display its properties and not the properties of the form.

It's just a little bug and not really hindering but a bit confusing. Maybe you can check it occasionally.

Kind Regards
Wood
