Refresh Form Attributes

Quick Tip: To refresh a Form's available attributes - the drag and drop fields/controls, simply save the form. This is useful when the underlying Object's attributes have been changed and is quicker than a close, refresh, re-open of the Form.

No Intellisense in IDE

No Intellisense showing in the IDE code page? CTRL + SPACE not showing the helpful drop down?

Sometimes this just happens, especially when the code contains errors. Usually, a CodeDOM rebuild (CTRL + SHIFT + B), then a code parse (CTRL + R) will solve the issue.

However, this doesn't always work - even though you are well within your rights to be shown some Intellisense. In that case, try closing and reopening the object. If that gives on joy, try restarting the IDE.

After that, you're on your own.

Form Labels Not Displayed/Updating

Sometimes, the text of a label on a Form is not displayed in the browser after making a change in the IDE. To force the label to update:

  • In the IDE, load the project that contains the problem form.
  • Right click the top most project node and select Build Project.
  • For Build Type, select "All AppObjects that use any AppObject in <Project Name> (Runtime Only)" and click Start Build.
  • After building, close all instances of browsers hosing 3e and open a new instance. The labels should now display correctly.
