RecallPanelState Error

[popcorn]

What the below code do is take the values of some controls from a panel then put them in a table in another panel. I save the panel state using SavePanelState(). After SavePanelState is performed, the save state file is generated for the first time. When the below code run again, I received error at RecallPanelState() stating the "control cannot be loaded as panel has changed". However, i never do any changes on the panel after SavePanelState(). I would like to know where are my mistakes?

SITEDBPL = LoadPanel(0,"main.uir",SITEDB);

     if(FileExists("d:\\Project\\GI Netcom\\NOSMOC\\SiteDB.db",0)==1)
      RecallPanelState(SITEDBPL,"d:\\Project\\GI Netcom\\NOSMOC\\SiteDB.db",0);
     
     GetCtrlVal(SITEDBPL,SITEDB_ROW,&row);
     StrSiteName = malloc (row*sizeof(char*));
         
     GetCtrlVal(SITECONFIGPL,SITECONFIG_MODE,StrConfig);
     strcpy (StrTbl[1], StrConfig);
     
     GetCtrlVal(SITECONFIGPL,SITECONFIG_POLL,StrConfig);
     strcpy (StrTbl[2], StrConfig);
     InsertIntoList(SITECONFIGPL,SITECONFIG_POLLLIST,StrConfig);
     
     GetCtrlVal(SITECONFIGPL,SITECONFIG_FILE,StrConfig);
     strcpy (StrTbl[3], StrConfig);
     InsertIntoList(SITECONFIGPL,SITECONFIG_FILELIST,StrConfig);
     
     GetCtrlVal(SITECONFIGPL,SITECONFIG_SIM,StrConfig);
     strcpy (StrTbl[4], StrConfig);
     InsertIntoList(SITECONFIGPL,SITECONFIG_SIMLIST,StrConfig);
     
     InsertTableRows (SITEDBPL, SITEDB_SITEDBTBL, y, 1, VAL_USE_MASTER_CELL_TYPE);
     SetTableCellRangeVals (SITEDBPL, SITEDB_SITEDBTBL, MakeRect(y,1,1,5), StrTbl, VAL_ROW_MAJOR);
     
     GetCtrlVal(SITECONFIGPL,SITECONFIG_DFFOLDER,StrConfig);
     strcpy (StrF, StrConfig);
     SetTableCellVal (SITEDBPL, SITEDB_SITEDBTBL, MakePoint(6,y), StrF);
     
     GetCtrlVal(SITECONFIGPL,SITECONFIG_EXECUTEDT,StrConfig);
     strcpy (StrF, StrConfig);
     SetTableCellVal (SITEDBPL, SITEDB_SITEDBTBL, MakePoint(7,y), StrF); 
     
     SavePanelState(SITEDBPL,"d:\\Project\\GI Netcom\\NOSMOC\\SiteDB.db",0);
     DiscardPanel(SITEDBPL);
   

Thank you

At the time your panel is saved, one of the controls has been modified by your line:

     InsertTableRows (SITEDBPL, SITEDB_SITEDBTBL, y, 1, VAL_USE_MASTER_CELL_TYPE);

so the panel being recalled is technically different to the one just loaded by LoadPanel(), hence the error.

Do you  have any suggestion on how to recall the panel with the inserted row? Probably the SavePanelState and RecallPanelState sequence?

[jr_2005]

It depends on the intention behind your application. I suspect that you planned to use it to indefinitely add lines to your table in order to maintain some form of database, so I think you should use an alternative scheme. In the past I had a similar problem with Save/Recall, that I partially solved by putting the troublesome control on a small child panel located within the main panel - to the operator all the controls appeared to belong to a single panel, but to the system the offending control was on a different panel and was therefore excluded from the Save/Recall process, which of course works on one panel at a time. Maybe the ArrayToFile() familiy of functions would be more suitable in your case?

Yes, I wanted to form a database. Thanks for the advice.
