messages box strange behavior

[jmburnod]

Hi All,

A strange behavior i see first time with RevolutionStudio 4.0

I have a function in the card script :

Code: Select all

function myTestFunction pText 
   put empty into rmyTestFunction
   put char 1 to 10 of pText into rmyTestFunction
   return rmyTestFunction
end myTestFunction

And a fld "fLesPref"

1. if i send from the message box :
put myTestFunction("123456789pli") into fld "flespref"
"123456789p" come in the messages box
But no change in fld "flespref"

2. if i send from the message box :
put myTestFunction("123456789pli") into fld "agdjhgafjahgf" (fld "agdjhgafjahgf" not exists)
"123456789p" come in the messages box without error message (the lockErrorDialogs= false)

3.if i send it from an handler in card script

Code: Select all

on testFromCd
  put myTestFunction("123456789pli") into fld "flespref"
end testFromCd

work fine

Someone have an idea ?

Thank

Jean-Marc

Hi!
I tried both and they worked correctly for me - the first worked and put the correct data in the field, and the second threw a "Message execution error, can't find handler". Interestingly, it did not say something like "No such field". The first one did NOT put the answer in the message box for me. I can only get the correct answer sent to the message box if I erase "into fld "flespref"" from the command.

So it seems like your message box is not processing the "into fld xxx" part of the command, but mine is. I looked in Preferences and didn't see any settings which apply.

I am on LC 4.5.1 and WinVista.

Hi Jean-Marc,

The message box is slightly buggy as is (ironically) the error reporting system. Don't worry too much. If it works in a stack, then you probably haven't made any mistakes.

Best,

Hi all,

yes I already bug bug reported the strange behaviour of the message box back in 2008:

But this is only the message box, and as Mark said, everything will be fine in the standalone


Best
