Table of Contents/Index problem with RB7

rbuser

I have been having problems with the 9/18 release or RB7 and the TableOfContents2 demo app.

It seems that some groupheaderbandafterprint events are firing at the wrong time.

I compiled your TableofContents2 demo with RB7 and found that Dive Shops that appear on the top of a page have
double entries in the table of contents. One entry shows the dive shop on the correct page minus 1.
The other entry shows the dive shop on the correct page.

For exammple:
"Larry's Diving School: 4"
"Larry's Diving School: 5"

"Sight Diver: 6"
"Sight Diver: 7"

I am also having a similar problem in an index/table of contents in an app that I
just upgraded to RB7. Items that appear at the top of the page are showing the previous
page for that item in the index, but I am not getting double entries (at least not consistently).

Can you guys duplicate this problem? If so, any guess on when we can expect a fix?

Thanks.

This demo should have used the group object's event, such as
AfterGroupBreak, in order to grab the group value and stick it in the list.
Also, the memo wasn't getting cleared and the contents was getting appended
to, extraneously, after traversing through the pages and moving to the first
page again. There needs to be a new tip which can also calculate the dots
correctly in the contents page, as the project you have is approximating the
number of dots. I'll put a new tip together which works correctly.

Jim,

Thanks! Your tip pointed me in the right direction to fix my app. Appreciate the help.

Looking forward to the updated tip, too.

Can you post when you have it completed?
