Blah blah blah You've heard it enough that you don't even want to comment on how many times... The DataWindow. ....but it can't be enough anymore...can it? This from one of our colleagues (and yes my apologies for taking it out of context)... "...PB covers all you need to do that in ONE Tool.

Drop down datawindow within a datawindow
I have a datawindow that is attached to a PL/SQL stored procedure that is supposed to list records. Several of the fields in the list are identified as Style DropDownDW. The intent is that for these fields there will be multiple values available by using a vertical scroll bar and arrow. For example, a record in the window might have Name Address Medical Code Medical code would also be a drop down list box with multiple values. Is there a simple way to implement this in Powerbuilder 9? What kind of PB coding constructs would be necessary? Thanks Please post this question ...

embedding a datawindow within a datawindow
Below is a sample of the format for a report I need to create. The report will display courses that may or may not be part of group, because the people running the courses can choose from all the courses available to create their own "group" of courses. Since a course may or may not be part of a group would using an embedded datawindow for the group info work? How? Can anyone point me in the right direction? The data is coming from two tables. Thanks, Kevin CourseID CourseTitle CourseTopic EnrollMax EnrollCurrent 100145A "Sample" "Sample"...

Datawindows with child datawindows
I want to create a datawindow whose only data is three columns that will themselves be drop-down data windows. These child datawindows will be populated in PB script with dw_1.GetChild(). When I create that parent datawindow (New | Datawindow | Freeform), what do I choose in the next dialog box ("Which datasource would you like to use?") External? Thanks. That depends on how you want to populate and use the columns of the main DW. The DDDW is an edit style that assists the user in selecting a value for the column in the main DW. If you want to retrieve the values ...

DataWindows and datawindow objects
Difference between Datawindow and datawindowobjects? - datawindow is a control on a userobject or a window - datawindowobject (DWObject) is a control within a datawindow, defined in the dataobject of the datawindow. You refer to it as <datawindow-instance>.Object.<datawindow object> HTH, Ben (bede) <Santhoshi> wrote in message news:3f8bee8b.4631.846930886@sybase.com... > Difference between Datawindow and datawindowobjects?

datawindow
Add direct setting and getting capability for the datawindow where clause. This would have to be a string array in case of unions. Return ONLY the where clause(s) in the main select (in case of sub-selects, ignore the where clause or somehow list it as a subselect in the where or a subselect in the select). It would be great if I could just get and set this as a value and have the datawindow automatically change (or add) the where clause as specified. This is for setting the where clause dynamically at run time. Currently have to parse through the datawindow.table.select looking f...

datawindows in composite datawindow used in datawindow.NET, are not sliding up
Hi, Problem: datawindows in composite datawindow used in "datawindow.NET", are not sliding up , if one dw is not visible or did not retrieve data. Resulting in unwanted spaces. The height of blank white space is equal to the height of the datawindow art design time.

But slides up ok when exported to pdf(using saveas) on web and in PB10.5 application. Also s...

Nested datawindow within a nested datawindow
I have a report, that contains a datawindow, which itself contains a datawindow. Everything is working fine until the number of retrieved lines get's over about 1100 primary and over about 3200 retrieved nested lines. Although the task manager (I'm using Powerbuilder 7.0.3 on Windows 2000) shows me, that there is still enough free memory, the data retrieval stops and Powerbuilder (or the application which called the Retrieve() method) ends itself without any error message. That allways happens when the datawindow has allocated about 70 MB of virtual memory. (About 99% of those ...

Populating a column with a dropdown datawindow within a datawindow.
I have a datawindow which contains two fields. One is named "customer_name" and the other is "job_siteno". these fields are contained in two different tables which are related by a foreign key column "cust_id". Both of these columns have a DDDW edit control. When I select the customer name I want to then have the "job_siteno" column populated with all the site numbers related to this particular customer. I would then be able to select the site number from the DDDW edit control. Selecting the customer number is no problem. My problem is that th...

nested datawindow within another nested datawindow?
I was trying to create a report which has a nested datawindow within another nested datawindow, and PB didn't seem to go for this... got memory errors. Is this even possible? I searched all of the usual resources and couldn't find anything about this... maybe they assumed nobody would be dumb enough to try. thanks, Pat It is perfectly legal to have multiple levels of nested reports. However, nesting isn't supported for certain DW types like grid and n-up. Try testing your DWs on their own to ensure that they work properly. Then nest them one at a time and try to i...
