Hi, Matthews -

It might be helpful to you to spend a few minutes to review the capabilities of the Multiple Document Interface (MDI) frame window, sheet windows and how they interact. Here's a link to a concise overview:

Hi Mathews,

1) in w_main properties, make sure that WindowType is "mdi!";
2) in w_find_statement properties, make sure that WindowType is "main!"
3) in open event of w_main call OpenSheet(w_find_statement properties, this, 1, Layered!)

Best,
.m

P.S.
Regarding your "I have StaticHyperLink in w_main": a MDI window (w_main) should be empty.

it is not "popping up on browser frame tab" if you use opensheet.

Hello,

I have updated PowerServer2019 to build 2151, but i can not still scroll.

And i just set MDI window (w_find_statement) to use horizontal & vertical scroll bars in the Window Painter's properties pane.

@Zhao Kai

i have StaticHyperLink in w_main, when a user link on it, it open w_fund_statement.

Now i want w_fund_statement to have scroll bars on the browser, also remember both w_main and w_fund_statement are both MDI.

According to your response, how do i open window with openSheet?

Thank you !

Hi Hi Mathews;

Like in a native PB application - you cannot have two MDI Frame windows open at the same time. The same for a PS Web application. So you would now have two choices...

1) Close the current MDI Frame window and then open the 2nd second one (within the same App).

2) Use the iNet object to open the 2nd MDI Frame as a separate Web App (new Tab Page or browser instance).

Regards ... Chris

Thank you for youe response.

I have done as you advice and it has work, however i can't still scroll on my mdi frame dispite checking vertical and horizontal scroll.



Then in addition i have created a small window for w_member_search with window type 'main'. But the problem i am having is that, when i open a new tab to browse other things the w_member_search window is still open.

Hi Mathews ... remember, if you open your sheet(s) in "Layered!" mode the scroll bars will *not* appear as the MDI Frame will resize the sheet to the frame automatically. Its only when you manually resize the sheet, cascade or tile all the sheets AND then resize the MDI Frame (ie Browser window) will the scrollbars appear if the frame is smaller than the current set of sheets.

HTH ... Chris

Maybe you have to empty your 'cache' or something similar. Others who know more about this than me, might help you out.

Have you tried a different browser?

Chris seems to be using Chrome and you seem to be using Firefox?

FireFox is also supported well by PowerServer... we just frequently show Chrome because Chrome is a more popular browser. But anyway, doesn't hurt to double check just in case something is corrupted about the FireFox install.

Hi Armeen;

FYI: Scroll bars on the MDI Frame work for me in all the latest versions of IE, Edge, Chrome, Opera, FF and even IWA (installable Web Apps).

Hi Mathews,

Please try to solve this issue by follow steps below.

1 Open the MDI window in PB IDE, and go to Properties > Scroll tab to checked both HScrollBar and VScrollBar opention.
2 Using opensheet to open window object.

Then a scrollbar would show when the window contents over the browser size.

ZhaoKai
