I've been going through the sample data and the equation for the field 'Duration' seems to call a function 'WorkTime'.  I'm not seeing this function in the VB Editor?

 

Also, when I try and create a hierarchy equation with one of my number fields, I get an error message telling me, 'Error calculating function SUM.  Verify that the function exists for field PlaceHolder".  My VB Editor does not have any code for a SUM function, but the part on hierarchy equations in section 4.042 of the manual, says that Sum is one of a few basic functions for that is already included.  I'm comparing my hierarchy equation to the ones in the sample data that use SUM, like 'Actual$', and I don't see any difference.  What am I missing?

 There are a few terms like fields and items that have a double underline where ever they appear and when the pointer rests over them, a pop-up description appears.

 

Apparently this description is indexed by the forum software.  A website search will include a page or a forum discussion where one of the search terms appears only in the pop-up description.  The bigger problem is in going through the list of results from the search.  When the excerpt from the search result largely consists of the pop-up description, it hinders the user in finding the relevant information.

 

It would be helpful if these descriptions were excluded from an index of the website.

Does this ever happen to anyone else? When trying to move items around with the alt+arrow keys, every now and then this combination will switch to producing rotations of my screen, and I can't figure out what I'm pressing to switch the functionality. I'm on Windows 7 now, but this also happened with Vista.

Armando thought this a bug so I post here

 

In an inactive grid (ie: a grid that doesn't have the focus) the fact that the item selection visual cue persists OR  that the selected items back color doesn't change at all when focus moves from one grid to another (in a horizontal or vertical tiling of 2 or 3  different  grids) gives the wrong impression : the inactive grid(s) seem active even if not.

 

I already suggested better visual cues to make the active grid more obvious -- and I know that there are some limitations due to the grid component.

 

However, if the "item selection visual cue" could change (different colour)  when the grid is inactive, it would be much clearer -- and less easy to start typing at wrong place.

 

Could that be set in the options ? Something like "selected items of inactive grid back color" ?

 I've built a pop-up box that uses a grid for its source, as detailed here.  All the items in the box are in the order of original entry.  They are now in alphabetical order and I would like to see them in the box in the same order that they are in the grid.

Steps to reproduce:

 

Manage Grids

Data

In Auto Assign the following fields

click blank area to activate drop down menu

click drop down menu to select field via drop down menu

focus & select 1st field choice

<END> then add comma

click drop down menu to select next field of choice

click focus on 2nd field choice

first field is replaced w 2nd field

How do I display in a given grid all the items that have a certain color? Do I need to expand the grid first?

Thanks.

Can Infoqube act as a protocol handler, such that one might have a url like 'infoqube://select/item/111' (where the last number is the item ID) in some external program, clicking on which would open Infoqube with that item selected (perhaps in 'Scratch')? I'm looking for some way to get my Zotero (a Firefox extension reference/bibliography manager) and Infoqube to cooperate.

... on "OK", this will make IQ crash.
