I create the Launch Page using the HTML Painter and save it. Then when I right click the submit button and select Hyperlink Properties, then select external procedure for the action and then selct the Focexec to run, it changes all the sizings of the frame and text boxes, positioning of the buttons, etc. The Focexec has variables that need to be prompted for.
Has anyone figured out a way to keep the developed 'boilerplate/template' Launch Page intact?
Thanks,

yeah. Make modifications in text mode instead of in the GUI.I know - yuck. Unfortunately when you change anything of significance in the GUI HTML painter, it thinks it needs to re-read necessary parameters, reposition controls, etc. If the new procedure uses the same parameters, you can just modify the "input hidden" lines where the IBIF_ex/IBIMR_fex values are set. If different parms are used, it's up to you to make sure that new controls are appropriately available.

Maybe a baby step would be to change the fex names in text mode, then open in the GUI for additional modifications. That way things won't be as drastically rearranged, but it will add additional controls as necesssary and you wil just need to set their type/position/style accordingly.


Regards,

Darin

Just one more reason that many of us prefer to hand crank the code rather than use the GUI!

Of course, freelance consultants are always useful for this sort of thing Music

That's what I figured, just hoping against hope that there was some magic. Thanks
