Informix Error -50106

Reasons / Common Causes

-50106 is raised by the ixWindow class in the Window Painter GUI builder library — per the official guidance:

The ixButton constructor generates this message. Default buttons are supported only in modal popup windows. This request is ignored.

1. Attempt to set default button in a top level style ixWindow. Only a modalPopup style ixWindow can have a default button. No default button will be set, per the official guidance — the direct, documented condition.

Solutions / Resolution

1. No corrective action is required at the engine/runtime level — the disallowed call is simply ignored, per the official guidance — but the calling code should still be fixed, since relying on the ignore behavior masks a real logic error.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond the class-library condition described above.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Check the specific value, object state, or call sequence that ixWindow flags here, against the constraint the official guidance describes.
