setLabel issues

OK, building a table, set of Rows and data points inside the row.

The plan is that id a person puts foo, bar and blah in Row 1, to make the label of each data point for Row 2, 3 4 etc to be foo bar and blah rather than Data. To start I have this running onReplicantAdded & I will worry about other cases later.

No Luck (DCT attached) - I used inline JS to make it easy. Lines 23-27 do the work.

I would be happy of either changing the container (you'll see the line comment out) or the 1st item label. No luck. JS stops after 1st alert and no replicant is added.

If I make these two changes
var newData = Xpath+"/Columns["+(parseInt(idx)+1).toString()+"]/title";
var newItem = IWDatacapture.getItem(newData);
newItem.setValue(label)

Then the replicant is added and the value of title is changed. That is not what I want but it does show my logic is working.

Any ideas ? Tips/Pointers/RTFMs appreciated.

You are experiencing a little racing. "Label" is a graphical element, at the moment you are setting it
an Object is still incomplete (it *probably* has a value but not innerHTML yet) - so some setLabel
functionality fails with the "Null or not an Object" error.

What you can do is create your own function and set a timeout for it:

function fixLabel(item) {
   ...
   var newItem = IWDatacapture.getItem(newData);
   setTimeout(YourOwnSetLabel, 50);
   return true;
}
function YourOwnSetLabel() {
   item.setLabel(whatever);
}

Beware! Standard setTimeout has problems passing called function parameters. You can either use globals ( I know, I know...)
or if you want to I can send you a little JS "setTimeout with parameters" hack

Thanks Bo, this was a great deal of help.

Currently I have a two column table, so I only need to do two columns. The first time I ran it, basically the second column ran twice (because the global variable was updated before the set command ran). So I made 2 copies and bagged using a loop.

I will need to get that to work at some point, but for now I am set.
