Wondering if anyone knows how to get around this.
If you create a Combo and tie it to TransView, when you check the table in DevTools, you see that it is an entry in the table.
If you create a TextBox and tie it to TransView, it does not show up in the table until you enter a value in the TextBox. This means that anything referencing that field does not fire (like a Row Rule) because it is not in the table.
Hoping there is an easy solution.
I usually add an event that fires after form_onload … or when the textbox in question is created … in that event is just a row-update setting the value to ''
That way, it has a value, but the value is nothing…
Similarly, I use 0 for a numeric box
I was really hoping to not have to do that, but it seems like the only option.
Add the column in transview dataview first. While you don’t have to, this should appease the validation gods.
The validation gods are not appeased. They are still angry and hiding the field.
So, I tried creating a brand new layer and immediately entering the column in TransView, and it still did not work.
I also tried entering an on the fly dataview in the EpBinding and that also does not work.
Ok, now I am just a big old whining baby, but this is so stupid! You can’t use any of the tools because the field is not bound to an actual field. So, you put in a space and now there will be an extra space in the field when a user enters something.
You don’t have to do a space though, right? You can just do “”. Double quotes.
TransView before:
No TransView.Test showing.
Row Update (after form_onload):
TransView after:
Doesn’t need to have a space… just a row update to kick it in the ass and get it into the DataView.
Yeah, I put in two single quotes with nothing between … it sort of looks like there’s a space there, because code-text is monospaced (every character has the same width)
‘’
''
Ok, did some more testing, and the Row Rule will not change a field FROM disabled TO open. That is one of my problems. Another problem is that I had the Personalizable unchecked for those text boxes.
So, I tried and tried to get this to work, and it would not. Finally realized that the event I was using it after did not fire. It was Slider-Open, and no matter what I did, it would not fire the next event. So I moved it in front of Slider-Open and 
I found that if I add fields to TransView I have to save the application then exit application studio completely then go back in to see it. After that it is fine and I can use it in events and functions.
Now I can bind to it a text box even set it with an event using results from a function but the row rules can not see any of the TransView fields so I cannot put a data rule on it.
I can initialize it with an event
I can update it with an event using a function to change the value - I thought this would be the hard part.
I can verify its changed as I can see it in the text box
But the data rule wizard does not show any of the TransView fields?
And of course I can see the fields in the data view itself.
What am I missing?
