1. setindex error
If you have a create type of 'list' and because of whatever data reasons
there are no items to display in the list I'm getting a setindex error from
win32. How do you avoid this? setIndex of 1 or 0 doesen't work. Do I have to
add a dummy item to the list saying something like " **** no items found
***" and set the indes to 1??

2. Re: setindex error
George,
Why do you want to set the index if there is nothing in the list? Why not
do something like this:
if length(ListWhatever) > 0 then
setIndex(ListWhatever, 1)
end if
That way, if there's nothing in the List, you won't get the error.

OOPS...That should be getCount(ListWhatever) instead of
length(ListWhatever). Sorry. That's what happens when I try to send mail
from work! :)

VB, that was what I what I was doing. Here's the only code I could get to
work...similar to yours.
if EOF then
if getCount(idCust)>0 then
setIndex(idCust,1)
else
addItem(idCust,"*** none on fille ***")
end if
exit
w/o the '*** none on file ***' I get the setindex error

5. Re: setindex error
George,
is the message you are getting this one....?
sendMessage(#1) in setIndex failed.
if so, you can edit the win32lib.ew file as this is only a warning message
(setting the index for an empty list is not a logical thing to do, I guess).
Locate the text that looks like ...
if sendMessage( id, msg, index-1, 0 ) = -1
and index != 0 then
warnErr( sprintf("sendMessage(#%x) in setIndex failed.", {msg} ) )
end if
and replace it with ...
VOID = sendMessage( id, msg, index-1, 0 )

Hi Derek, yes that is the message. I'll look at making that change. If
you're interested, when you do get this message I've not been able to click
one of those buttons to get out. The same window keeps showing up shifted
toward the lower right.

7. Re: setindex error
George,
Are you sure there isn't another setIndex() somewhere? I tried this code
and didn't get an error.
