Hi,

I am using a form that contains a 1 x 1 MRO.

Within this is a tableframe object for navigation use and the record
field objects that I need to edit.

If I am in the tableframe the Shift F11/F12 keys whiz me through the
records at high speed. If I am on the corresponding field object the
response is jerky and slow. However, the keyboard Page Up/Down keys
provide the same whiz-speed behaviour seen in the tableframe.

For the record, the Object Explorer shows

Multirecord72
--Field2
--Field3 etc

and so on.

The MRO Multirecord72 and its one 1 x 1 field #Record73 graphically
contain the tableframe object and all field objects seen from within the
form design view.

The whole thing works OK. Since the F11/F12 keys are the native Pdox
method of navigation through records, is there any reason why they are
not so speedy to use in this situation?

Regards
Anne

Hi,

After some research I downloaded Denis Santoro's paper on containership.
Following a quick read of that (more study tomorrow when I can print it
out) I resized the 1 x 1 field to include only the fields, thus
excluding the tableframe. No change in the behaviour of the form
however.

Regards
Anne

Shift F12 is dataFastForward. PageDown is dataNextSet
FastForward skips more records than NextSet in a MRO. So FastForward will
need fewer keypresses to reach the last record. Each keypress is a ore
involved process though, as it's not the next records that is retrieved.

so there is a difference


Is there a difference in each keypress? How many fields are shown in the MRO
record object? How many columns are shown in the tableframe?

How many tables are used in the datamodel, one or two?

Hello, Bertil,

Thank you for that explanation. I see from my Prestwood "P5 bible" that the
ActionDataCommands table F2 lists DataFastForward and DataNextSet as
distinct constants.

The one underlying table has 29 fields
There are around 1400 records
The form tableframe displays 10 fields and 18 rows / records and ...
The 1x1 MRO record includes 22 editable fields
All fields shown in the tableframe are also in the MRO record
Shift-F11/12 and Page Up/Dn both cycle by 18 records at a time.
There is only one table in the data model

Regards
Anne

"ore" = "more" ?

How do manage to bind both the tableframe and the MRO to the same table? I
can't.

In the MRO ?

With much difficulty, as I remember

I placed the tableframe on the form and bound this to the table
I placed the field objects on the form and bound them to the relevant
fields in the table
I then place the MRO on the form, changed it to 1x1
I then sized the MRO to encompass both the tableframe and the fields.
I then sized the MRO record to encompass just the fields

I'll email a screenshot just now. This includes the object tree, and
perhaps I can anticipate your comment, but will not comment here.

Regards
Anne

I can't see any difference in speed when I scroll such a form.

Hi,

It's chalk and cheese here for sure but don't spend any more time, I'll
retrain myself to use the pg dn/up key.

note that the jerky operation only occures when focus is on the field
object, operation is smooth when on the tableframe.

Bertil, hello,

Are we saying that one cannot have both a tableframe and individual
fields (inside a 1x1 MRO) bound to the same underlying table on the same
form?

Does this contravene some fundamental restraint?

Regards
Ian

Obviously, you can, if you do it your way. Try to do it the simple way and
watch what happens.
