How to refresh a layout area

dialog formlayout area

field “Holidays”

  • type = Date

  • multi value

  • inherits from field with same name in parent doc

field “e_Select”,

  • type = Checkbox

  • options formula = @Text(Holidays)

  • default empty

button “Delete selected Holidays”

  • modifies the “Holidays” field

  • refreshes the options for e_Select

  • refreshes the window

Problem: when a date is selected and the button is pressed, the options list for e_Select becomes smaller, reflecting the modified situation, but part of the old options list remains visible below the bottom option of the reduced list.

Refreshing and reloading commands have no effect.

What can I do so that only the new options are shown?

Subject: Never mind - I’ve reworked it using a Table

I’ve had it it Layout areas now. I’ve gone back to using a table. This brings its own version of the problem when you size the dialog window to fit the table: when the list grows longer, it might not fit the window anymore, so you have to build in some blank lines.

I’ve made the amount of blank lines dependent on the length of the list so that the space in the table remains constant.
