Object Name Changes with Each Run of the Application
This has got to be a common problem. I'm running TC 7.10.xxx on a VB application utilizing MDI forms.
The problem form is a modal form that is registered in the NameMapping table as "frmFind_V3_2".
Every time I instantiate the form the _2 is incremented. I know this by using the Object Inspector and looking at the form properties.
If I execute the following code:
set frmFind = Aliases.Meditrac.frmFind_V3_2
if frmFind.Exists Then
Log.Message("frmFind EXISTS --> " & frmFind.fullname)
Log.Message("frmFind EXISTS --> " & frmFind.name)
Else
Log.Message("frmFind DOES NOT EXIST")
End if
The Log shows:
Type Message Time Link
The menu item 'Accounting|Brokers' was clicked. 16:56:34
Toolbar button 3 was clicked. 16:56:34
frmFind EXISTS --> Sys.Process("Meditrac").VBObject("frmFind_V3_25") 16:56:35
frmFind EXISTS --> VBObject("frmFind_V3_25") 16:56:35
As you can see the [Name] and [FullName] properties of the object indicate _25 unfortunately the object inspector show the index at a number greater than 25. In this case frmFind_V3_27.
If I execute a command like: frmFind.Close
TC times out and indicates the form is not visible.
If I hard code in the following:
Meditrac.frmFind_V3_28.Close
where the _28 represents the next index (meaning the object inspector showed the form at _27). The command executes as expected and closes the form.
I've been working on this way too many hours and could use a new direction.
Thanks,
