Other Callsub2 problem!!!

[AbbasMohammed]

Hi, the problem iam facing here is htis:

CallSub2(Main,"show",pan)

is not working, and when i go to debug mode it dosnt call the show sub in main, so i need your help to show the panel on mobile screen.

Main:

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
  
End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
    Public pan As Panel
    Public Father As ImaginaryMain
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Father.Initialize
    pan.Initialize("hi")
    Father.show
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub show(pl As Panel)
    Activity.Addview(pan, 0,0,100%x,100%y)
End Sub

ImaginaryMain:

'Class module
Sub Class_Globals
    Private pan As Panel
    Private page1 As page
    Private pgdisp As pageidsplay
End Sub

'Initializes the object. You can add parameters to this method if needed.
Public Sub Initialize
'    page1.Initialize
'    pgdisp.Initialize(Me)
    pan.Initialize("xxx")
    pan.Color=Colors.Red
End Sub

public Sub show
    CallSub2(Main ,"show",pan)
End Sub

You should use callsubdelayed. Calsub does not work with activities that are not in foreground

What exactly are you trying to do? there are many ways to skin a cat.

i have a data classes that contain a data i got from db and i made a disply class just to disply those data so i need to create the objects first then send the objects data to that disply page , then i use next prev buttons to disply other objects data

 

[Cableguy]

Ok, so you have a class that retrieves and organizes Data from a DataBase, and you want to pass a completely Formed Layout to a panel In the main activity, correct?

you need to understand that a class usually does not call activity subs, its main purpose is to return values or execute funtions.

for instance, if you want to show a panel created by your class you shoul do something like this:

class code:

Sub Class_Globals
    Dim DataPanel As Panel
    Dim DataField As Label
End sub

Sub Initialize (Target as Panel) 'Target is the calling activity
    DataPanel.Initialize("")
    DataField.Initialize("")
    DataPanel.AddView(DataFIeld, (.......))' here we add the DataField to the DataPanel
    Target.AddView(DataPanel, (.......))' here you place your DataPanel in the Calling Activity, setting Left,Top,etc
    (....)
    'the rest of the data manipulation can be done here or dispatched for other Class Subs
End Sub

Then in Main....

Define a Class object from your Class, usualy in Globals, like

Dim MyDataClass as DataClass 'Here DataClass is the name of your Class and MyDataClass is and object of it

then to make the DataPanel Appear in the activity,

MyDataClass.Initialize(Activity)

That's it

Remember, this is just for exemplification purposes, my code is incomplete in some lines and may even be misspelled or erroneous.
Play with it, adapt it, read some Classes tutorials...

thank you very much for your help ,but arnt you sending the activity while the class waits for panel as argument??

 

[Cableguy]

you can do it either way, but for you specific case, I think its easier to return the whole panel to the activity instead of populating an Activity already created panel.
you should also have a look at the pager class, I think it suites your needs very well, and has the "Next/Previous" thing already implemented

many thanks for your kind support....your solution is working
