After having explored the new features of the dataserver, I'm impressed.

The Explore has made my own Explorer module almost redundant. (I can have 2 explorer windows open in my player).
I was expecting the Explore to use a separate window from CATraxx itself, so it wouldn't interfere with the present content of the CATraxx explorer. But having tried it for a while, I don't think it matters.

The EditWindow is also great.
As it turned out, you can still not have two edit windows open for the same table.
That would be convienient, when checking/copying content from/to an "identical" artist/person.
Also, if you have 2 edit windows open, you only have access to the last one. You will have to close that window before you cann access the first one.

Could you please explain the possible use of CloseEditWindow, EditWindowOpen and the returned handle of the window.

That should work fine (note that, unless you move the first edit window, the second window will cover the first window). Do you get an error?


No, you should be able to switch between them.


You can use the window handle to, for example, bring the window to the front with SetForegroundWindow. The Audio Player will do this if you click Edit when a data entry window is already open (EditWindowOpen returns True). You can also change the window position with SetWindowPlacement.

You should close all open data entry windows by calling CloseEditWindow when you close the database.

At first they are covering each other.
Then I move one window.
Now I try to get focus on the first called, but that is not possible.
Only after closing the last called, I get focus on the first one.

Are you opening both windows via the data server interface, or did you open the first one in CATraxx?

Are you opening the data entry windows from the explorer? This will not work as the windows are opened as modal windows.

However, this should be no problem with EditRecord. This should work fine (also shows how to change the window position):
