Radio Button problem

[Andy Edward]

Hi,

I'm having a weird problem with radio buttons in my development machine. When I clicked the radio button, the other radio buttons will be de-selected and the program will hang.

If I put the program in another PC, and run the program from my PC (So I'm running the program using a mapped network drive), I don't see the issue. Everything works just fine.

So it seems like locally (in my dev machine) the radio button will have problems. I have a feeling, that it is unable to re-draw.

Anyone have encountered this issue in their dev machine?

My development environment is Windows 7 32 bit, 2 GB RAM, Express++2.6, xBase 1.9.331

Best Regards,

Looks like you missed to put a group around every radio button pair. Place an empty DCSAY behind them and select this as the parent for the radiobuttons. Radio buttons need a group parent to act correct. Show your code.

Hey Andy,

I usually place each radio button set on its own static, so in your case, I would have stacked 10 statics on top of each other.
Tom is right, each set needs its own parent.

I have been meaning to provide the means to group radiobuttons by a GROUP name rather than parent.

Yes, my radio button sets doesn't have any parent object.

My Code

Code: Select all

@RC1,99     DCRADIO lYESNO PROMPT 'Yes' VALUE .T.;
              EVAL {|o|o:KEYBOARD:=NIL};
              ACTION {|o| o:=DBC_FILE(XF),DC_GETREFRESH(GETLIST)};
              COLOR M_RADIO_CLR TABGROUP XBP_BEGIN_GROUP
  
@RC1,109    DCRADIO lYESNO PROMPT 'No' VALUE .F.;
              EVAL {|o|o:KEYBOARD:=NIL};
              ACTION {|o| o:=FERASE(XF),DC_GETREFRESH(GETLIST)};
              COLOR M_RADIO_CLR TABGROUP XBP_END_GROUP

I've tried this, but the radio buttons disappear

Code: Select all

  cObject = 'o' + var2char(RC1) 
  @RC1,99     DCSAY ''  OBJECT &cObject SAYSIZE 10,1 && TO BE THE PARENT
  @RC1,99     DCRADIO lYESNO PROMPT 'Yes' VALUE .T.;
              EVAL {|o|o:KEYBOARD:=NIL};
              ACTION {|o| o:=DBC_FILE(XF),DC_GETREFRESH(GETLIST)};
              PARENT &cObject COLOR M_RADIO_CLR TABGROUP XBP_BEGIN_GROUP
  
  @RC1,109    DCRADIO lYESNO PROMPT 'No' VALUE .F.;
              EVAL {|o|o:KEYBOARD:=NIL};
              ACTION {|o| o:=FERASE(XF),DC_GETREFRESH(GETLIST)};
              PARENT &cObject COLOR M_RADIO_CLR TABGROUP XBP_END_GROUP

I must be missing something. but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Hey Andy,

This is a matter of how objects layer on top of each other.
I took your code and modified it somewhat to show you how things get positioned.

I colored your DCSAY PARENT object in yellow so you can see where the radio buttons wind up in relation to it.
The parent should be slightly larger vertically and horizontally than the objects you're going to place on it.
I made it extra large for demonstration purposes.

Notice that you will need a row position smaller than 1 to get it near the top of your parent object
Anyway, play around with different values till you get the effect you want.

I've tried your code and it's not working at my end

Does a different approach is needed, if I'm trying to do the radio buttons in tabs? I didn't mention that at first because I didn't thought it was relevant.

My code:

Code: Select all

   @0,0   DCTABPAGE oTabPage1C CAPTION 'General Page 3' RELATIVE oTABPAGE1B

Hey Andy,

Using your supplied code snippet, I had to default a few of your #DEFINES to make it work.
Compare it with your code snippet.
Remember that each radio button group needs its own PARENT.
Notice that I added an extra DCSAY "" for the 2nd radio button group.

Code: Select all

Hi SbDrakos,

Everything is working now, thank you for the help.

I just want to add something, actually I had another problem after using parents for the radio buttons.

Whenever the second tab have an element, the problem persists. Apparently I need to remove DC_GETREFRESH(GETLIST) in all my radio button's action. It might be just me and my code, but just in case someone else encounter the same issue.

But all is well now. Thanks again.

Best Regards,

Andy
