I think occurrence gets focus is your friend here. However the occurrence is reached (first load, next or previous button) this trigger will be fired. Put your processing for the pdf  and the switch of the fields in here.

you can use $rscan to find the position of the rightmost ".". Use the index returned to separate the extension. If you code the case statements using (syntax) strings in single quotes, you do not need the $lowercase.   selectcase (v_extension) case 'pdf' ...

Method 1 if($lowercase(field[$length(field)-4:4]) = ".pdf") ; Get last 4 characters, compare (limits to 3 char extension) Method 2 (+; = <GOLD>;) if($lowercase($itemnr(-1,$replace(field,1,".","+;",-1))) = "pdf") ; Get string following last . compare. (Allows for many char extension) The first one is simpler, but the second allows for expansion to a case statement testing for different extensions...  selectcase $lowercase($itemnr(-1,$replace(field,1,".","+;",-1)))  case "pdf" ..... case "htm" .... case "html" ..... elsecase .... endselectcase

Hello, Thank for your help Ulrich, For the extensions it's good but when I would show a pdf file after an image, nothing :s because "Edit/Display/idle statement only allowed in EXECUTE trigger" I use 2 buttons for navigate between the attachments and this button call an Entries in Local Proc modules showing the next attachments (if I would show the next attachments e.g.) I don't see how I can show otherwise   ideas ? :/

The fields need to be shown or hidden within either your occurrence shifting code (from the buttons), or in the occurrence gets focus trigger of the entity.  There is no need for edit, or display.  Simply set the field_syntax of one field to "HID" and the other one to "" (or is it "DEF"?) to brting it back to view.  You may get results if you replace the code in your button which says edit with 'show'.

The loadfile operation requires a file on the hard drive. So when you are loading the file into the OCX widget for display, where does that file name come from?  If you are storing the image/pdf in the database, then it's the database field (not the OCX field) which you need to lfiledump.  If you are reading files off the hard drive, and want to copy them to c:\\temp check out lfilecopy...

Right click the entity, choose entity scroll bar, choose No.  (I assume the buttons at the top control entity occurrence position? )

You'll probably need to put the adobe loadfile into the occurrence gets focus trigger of the entity, I don't think you get a different copy of the ocx for each occurrence.

That OCX will not support image types. (You can't open them in Adobe reader).  What we have done is to paint two widgets, one an OCX widget linked to adobe, and the other a picture widget side by side on the form, and set both of them to attach to window borders (left, right and bottom).  If the loaded file ends in ".pdf" we load it into the ocx as above and hide the picture widget , if not we use  lfileload/image "c:\\test2.jpg", FIELDPIC.CINOMPJ and then hide the ocx field.

Hello, Thank you for your reply, but I have still the same problem: I create a FRM test to understand the OCX container, in this FRM I create a entity "CINOMPJ" in which I put my OCX, I then assigned AcroPDF then a button , in the trigger "Details" I put this code: variables HANDLE lh_ocx boolean ln_b endvariables lh_ocx = $ocxhandle ( FIELDOCX.CINOMPJ ) lh_ocx->loadfile( ln_b, "c:\\test2.pdf" ) display   but when I test the OCX remains gray any idea?   Thank you

With the ocx widget connected to the ocx container, import the signature (button on the OCX properties form) This should give you a signature caller ACROPDF (I think) The operation to use against this signature is loadfile(boolean,string) e.g. v_filename = "c:\\temp\\fred.pdf" $ocxhandle(ocx_field)->loadfile(v_loaded,v_filename)   This needs to be done after the edit or show command has been run on the form containing the ocx widget. (so not in the exec trigger, unless there's an explicit show).  Other operations imported with this signature should/will allow you to control which adobe functions are shown in the adobe menu, and to do things like print out the pdf from a uniface button/proc.
