Pre Search Relations Code Answered

Avatar

Hi,

Probably an easy one for somebody.  In FlexiLayout Studio I want to write code in the advanced pre-search relations section that tells the program to first try looking for an element to the right of a previously found element and if not found to try looking below a different previously found element.  I can't seem to get the syntax right. 

I want to first try searching for "csPartCode" to the right of the current instance of "kwMFR" and if null I want to look below the current instance of "kwHS".  This is within a repeating group I should mention.

I keep causing the error "attempt to access not generated hypothesis".  Probably something very basic that I'm overlooking.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Here's what I have which does not work lol:

     

    leftof:pagerect.XCenter+25mm;

    if currentinstance.cspartcode.isnull then

    {

    below: currentinstance.kwhs.rect.Bottom;

    }

    else

    {

    DontFind;

    }

     Still somewhat new to FlexiLanguage as you can probably tell.

    Disregard.  Realized I should be defining rectangles.  I believe I have it solved now.

    What worked in the end once I realized I was on the wrong track...

    //rectarray dataregion;

    //let r1 = rect(kwMfr.Rect.Right, kwMfr.Rect.Top-1mm,

                //kwMfr.Rect.Right+25mm, kwMfr.Rect.Bottom+1mm);

     

    //let r2 = rect(kwMfr.Rect.Left-125mm, kwMfr.Rect.Bottom+1mm,

                //kwMfr.Rect.Right, kwMfr.Rect.Bottom+8mm)

    //dataregion = rectarray(r1)

    //dataregion.add(r2);

     

    //restrictsearcharea(dataregion);
