Editbox text filled in manually and by property

[gcjm]

Development view (and Web view):

I have an Editbox in a Canvas Section and I type in it "Bla bla bla" .
Then I click "Save Changes" button. So my text is saved into the table field (varchar) which is connected with the Editbox.

But if a have a button (maybe field1) with a click event function containing
lianja.get("page1.section1.field1").text="Bla bla bla";
then the text will be inserted (I see it!) into the Editbox but it will not be saved when I click "save" and the former text of the editbox appears.

What could be wrong?

Hi Georg

you need to update the cursor that the editbox is bound to.

Changing the text programatically will not do that.

Thank you Barry,
but sorry, I don't know what to do.

With other fields (f.e. normal textboxes), the problem doesn't not exist
and I didn't observe it in my earlier apps (and Lianja versions)

Hi Georg,

Thats all working for me.



I did "Click" the "Edit" first, assign the new text, then click "Save".

Thats a canvas section with an Editbox.

I did not need to update the the cursor as it was done for me.

Hi Barry,

sorry it doesn't work.

With another little app ("gotteslob"), there is the same problem.
I appended a package file.
There is a button "write by program" with should write a little text into the editbox.
It works but you cannot save it.

Thank you
Georg

Hi Georg,

Thats working for me in the web.

Are you referring to in a desktop app?



To work in desktop and web you need to do this in your click delegate:

function page1_section2_field1_click()
{
	 Lianja.get("page1.section2.field11").text = "Hallo Georg";
	 Lianja.getCursor("INHALT_GOTTESLOB").setData("DATEIEN", "Hallo Georg");
};

I have fixed this in Lianja 6.4.
