Error in Select() function - Why?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 775

Hi all,

 

I want one Gallery to access another and I do that with the Select() function, only once in a while it works and once in a while it gives me the following error message:

 

"A select was executed from outside the container for a control that is inside a container control, for example in a catalog". "Select" can be executed inside a container control if both controls are in the same container."

 

Does this mean I can't use the select() function across galleries? Does anyone know about this and had this problem once?

Thank you in advance!

    I solved it myself!

    In my case the Select() function should be in the same container. This has worked so far for me!
