Type of Pop-up Field of a Record format

[Takeshi_Kimura]

Hi,

 

GetFldType() returns '8' for pop-up field of a record format.

 

Is this expected?

 

How can you distinguish between, field type Number-fractional?

Hi Takeshi,

 

I asume you checked a parametric record, in this case the number would be "3".

Did you see the different tables in the doc.

 

Data Record:

 -"4" Text (Didn't check it, but the pop up must be text in that case, )

 -"8" Number-fractional

 

Param Record:

- "3" Number (Equivalant to 8 off Data Record)

- "8" Pop-Up

 

regards,

Patrick

I believe you want to follow the parametric constants now, and that there is an object variable that will get you the numeric type.

I am trying to create a pop-up field in a document record format (Not a parametric format). When I use GetFldType() on a pop-up field in a document record format that I've created through the interface, it returns '8' however when I use NewField('Record Name','FieldName','None',8,0) the script creates a fractional number field. Is it not possible to create a pop-up field via script? And if so, how do you set the list of possible options?

 

Thanks!

Creating pop-up fields via script is currently not possible.
