Update properties on datawindow columns not updated when changed
When I initially add an updateable datawindow and set the update column properties, everything works fine. If I then go back into the update column properties and CHANGE which ones are updateable, it doesn't subsequently change the underlying datawindow. The properties ARE updated and stored correctly, however, so when you go back in to edit them again it looks correct. The typical Powerbuilder Mantra that I am oh so used to (save, close, reboot, open) doesn't fix this one... Has anyone seen this behaviour before, or am I just hallucinating?

datawindow.column.count not returning the column count of a datawindow
I am having problems with the datawindow.column.count property of a datawindow. It just started happening with PB 6.501 and still works fine in PB 5.0. The function that looks at this property is in an ancestor userobject. The dataobject is assigned at this point but all other properties of the datawindow are missing. Any suggestions? Don't recall, but was it still dwDescribe() in version 5.0? If it was that may be your problem.

Update Property of Datawindow columns?
Just getting back into PB after a long time (10 yrs). Messing around with a dw and haveing a problem. I am populating a dw from code and then issuing a dw.update() statement followed by a commit. Things work ok, except one column of the table is not getting updated. I added this column to the both the table and datawindow after original creation. Something in the back of my mind says I need to set a property in the datawindow so this column is updatable. Is this the case? If so, where is the property? Thanks, Mac Hi Mac, welcome back to PB! In the datawindow...

HTML Datawindow Generator
Hi, I am having a strange problem updating columns with dropdown datawindows. I am sorry for the long message. But to explain things, I needed to do that. I copied the code from pbdwrmt.pbl and created a custome datawindow generator component and delpoyed it to Jagusr. I am using a datawindow which has multiple drop down datawindows. None of them has retrieval arguments. The retrieval of the main datawindow worked fine and the drop down datawindows showed data. But I see "error on Page" in the browser status bar when th page is loaded. I have an update button in th...

Deleting Rows with Identity Columns through Powerbuilder Datawindow
Perhaps I should be posting this in a Powerbuilder newsgroup, but I am having the following problem: I have a Powerbuilder 6.5 application which is using an ASE 12.5 database with Enhanced Full Text Search. Because of the EFTS, many of the tables make use of identity columns. Whenever users attempt to delete a row from one of these tables through a datawindow, they receive a "Rows Changed Between Retrieve and Update Error"! I have tried changing the "ON DELETE" settings of the datawindow, but to no avail. However, I can delete records from the table th...

Datawindow not showing all available columns for update properties
In PB7, we have a datawindow with a bunch of unique key fields including a datetime field. This datetime field is not included in the list of "Unique Key Columns" on the Update Properties. Unfortunately, we need this field available as it is truly the uniqueness factor and is causing the dreaded 'row changed between retrieve/update'. Has anyone run into this. I have tried rebuilding the DW and creating a completely new one and the datetime field is always missing. Thanks! Pete Yup, been there done that. PB 7 apparently chokes after the 7th key field. ...

How to Modify Contents of a DataWindow DDLB column based on value of another column in the same row.
I'm trying to conditionally Modify the contents of a DataWindow DDLB column. For example, ls_modstr = "cp_basis.Values='5 Test~t5~tIf(cp_type=~~'TB~~',30 Day~t30,3 Year~t3)'" ls_rtn = This.Modify(ls_modstr) Does anyone have an example of syntax that works? Thanks, George I don't believe the values attribute will actually accept a function. Have you thought about using a DDDW instead and applying a filter dynamically?

Datawindow Column Properties
Is there a way to copy the properties of one column to another? The scenario I have deals with a checkbox. We have disable logic that makes the checkbox a codestable that uses wingdings to show a different type of checkmark. This allows us to make the background buttonface. Now if I want to enable the field, I need to copy all the original properties back into that field to make it a 3-D editable checkbox. Any suggestions would be a great help. Thanks, Terry Just a little trick: Let's call the first column with the properties to copy col1, the new one col2 * if col...
