"Select" Lists in Windows 8 Development

[Andy Parker]

Hi,

I am building an app from ground up in the Windows 8 build environment.
After designing the UI (and having no code behind the app), I decided to test how it looked.

This was all good until I added a second Select element (i.e. 2 Select Lists).

There were no errors in the dev console when I just had the one Select list, but after adding a second, I get the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'display' of undefined

the line of code (within Appery.jq.js) is as follows:
if (childElem.display != "none" && childElem.width) {

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

many thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,

Please give us a public app link.

I've shared with a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a

App is called MCW_Win8

I've just found that it is not only having 2 select lists, it is having a select list in a grid as well that causes this issue.

As you will see in the app, I only have 1 select list now, its in a grid as I need another next to it, but having a select list in the grid seems to cause the same issue as having 2 select lists anywhere.

Andy,

For Windows 8, it is desirable to develop applications in IE10+, which uses native components. Of course, UI can be created in other browsers, but the preview performance, and display compliance with the target application is guaranteed only in IE. There is no error, you can check it out.

thanks Katya, I'll give that a try.

many thanks.
