Hi JDEList,
I recently detected some strange behaviour of MCU, as Form Control (at least on XE SP 15.1)
I have a custom find/browse form, where MCU is a filter field (equal + wild card).
1.) Depending the width of the characters entered into the field, I can not enter 12 characters into this field.
2.) When I enter the value via MCU's Visual Assist, characters are truncated on the left, which already does not fit into the control.
3.) When I disable MCU's *RAB formatting on the control, it still works as *RAB right adjusted and I also can not enter 12 characters, if they are wide enough.
4.) When I crazy way override formatting *RAB to *RAZ, then MCU formats only blank entry as *RAZ, any other as *RAB.
5.) In my desperation I tried to disable the Editing too, but it also didn't help.
6.) I placed an MCU DD item onto the form (not BSVW field, not a filter field) and repeated all steps - with same results.
Q1.) Why does not work Auto Horizontal Scrolling on MCU form control?
Q2.) Why can not be Disable/Override *RAB formatting?
I do not know the answers.
OK, I know, how to work around the issue - to fit largest value into this control: enlarging the control as long as to fit the larger "WWWWWWWWWWWW" entry in it.
I hate this solution and I am not sure, that it will bring the same result on different display resolution.
Does anybody know the reason of this strange behaviour or does anybody know the solution?
Is it SP level dependent?
Would be also very kind, if some of you reproduce this scenario and test it, and let us know the results - as well on SP 15.1 as on other SP levels.
Simply place an MCU onto the form, leaving its default control with and try to enter "123456789012" and/or "WWWWWWWWWWWWWW" ino it. e.g. "IIIIIIIIIIII" (12xI) can fit into it.
All of your advise, test will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Zoltán
