PRB: Can't Edit OLE Objects on Screen with Active READID: Q101294 The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSYou cannot edit an OLE object (stored in a general field) in a screen with an active READ. CAUSEA MODIFY GENERAL command was never issued for the OLE object. RESOLUTIONUse one of the following methods to resolve this problem: Method 11. Use the Field tool to create a general field on the screen. 2. Select the WHEN clause and enter the command MODIFY GENERAL <fieldname> in the code snippet area as a PROCEDURE. 3. Save the screen changes and regenerate the screen and/or application. Method 21. Use the Picture tool to put a picture of the general field on the screen. 2. Add an invisible button that covers the entire picture. The invisible button should have a WHEN clause PROCEDURE that says MODIFY GENERAL <fieldname>. 3. Save the screen changes and regenerate the screen and/or application. Either of the above methods will allow you to edit bitmaps within the screen when the application is running.
