Author subform and _app.framewin toolbar PROBLEM.

is a subform supposed to recognize toolbar attached to _app.framewin?
I cannot get the subform to do so.

just posted to knowledgebase by mistake ... forgive the duplicate.

trying to find info on subform is a futile exercise.

yep :)

I do not want to have to reinvent my main toolbar for the subform which is itty bitty. I do want the functionality of the interface already built into the main toolbar on the subform.

I am finding the subform very frustrating. It's a great concept for what I want to do, but is very, very, very limited ... IMHO :)

I've been puzzled by what exactly the subform is supposed to do - do you
mind sharing what niche you think it will fit?

I have a browse where the user doubleclicks to toggle off/on to denote that a
call was made. I wanted to add the ability to add a note via right click.
Having the popup note contained within the form just keeps it neater :) And it
would have been much easier to program than allowing just a single field in the
grid to be editted. BUT, I gave up on a subfrom with the conflict between the
main toolbar and the subform's toolbar. Now it's just another form.

Just an idea, you could use the same form but put the editor on another page
of that form.

Hi,
I do that all the time :) In fact, I'd like to change all the screens that use a
second "hidden" page input to subforms. It gets tricky doing the modify/save
buttons, and I have to use buttons instead of standard interface. Plus, you
cannot see the rest of the details for which you are now adding info. I like
that the subform moves around within the frame.
Wish I could get the subform to work properly. :)
