SetText displays the wrong value in dddw
Hi All,
We have a dropdown datawindow whose display value is "Part Num" (string) and
whose data value is "Record ID" (long). After populating the values are...
Dispaly Vlaue Data Value
3456 1000
4100 2987
5637A 2400
6390-4 4100
When we call SetText("4100" ) we expect it will select the second row, but
it chooses the last row whose data value is 4100 and displays "6930-4" in
the column. It is displaying the record whose data value matches the SetText
argument. If we do a SetText for any of the other 3 records it works great,
but if there is a record whose data value matches the argument to the
SetText command, the text diaplayed in the column is wrong. We are currently
using PB 11.01, but this has been a problem through all past version as
well.
Is this a bug or are we doing something wrong.

Hi Mike;
The DW is behaving correctly as the SetText ( ) command is placing the
data into the keyboard buffer and to the DDDW that is the same thing as the
user inputting the value through the keyboard. If you would like the DDDW to
select the display value "6390-4" you need to the set the parent DW's column
to "4100" via the SetItem ( ) method.

Chris,
Thanks for the quick response. I should have explained a little better. The
SetText("4100") is being done on the parent datawindow column. The hope is
that this will select the record from the dddw where the display value is
"4100". Instead it selects the record from the dddw where the data value is
"4100" (dispaly value "6390-4").
If we do a SetText("3456") on the parent datawindow column it chooses the
record from the dddw where the diaplay value is "3456", which is correct.
The only time it chooses the wrong record from the dddw is if there is a
record whose data value matches the SetText() value.
We actually encounter this probelm using the pfc_n_cst_dwsrv_dropdownsearch
objet. The problem is in the EditChanged evnet of this object. I was able to
find an old thread about the problem in the newsgroup, but there was no
resolution posted.
I appreciate your help.
TIA,
Mike

Is SetText() what you want to do here anyway? Remember that this is just
setting the value into the "edit control" that hovers above the actual
datawindow column. The data you've sent won't be in the dw buffer until you
a) tab out of the column; or b) call dw.AcceptText().
Does the problem exist if you use SetItem() instead?

The dddw always matches on the data value. If you want to select by
display value, you'll have to use GetChild, do a Find to find the row in
the dddw with the display value and then getitem the data value. Then
put that into the main dw.

Drop Down datawindows displaying the display value corresponding to a 0 data value when the field is NULL.
Most of our query windows have drop down datawindows populated with code values taken from the database. Some of these code values have a primary key and thus a data value in the drop down of zero. With the new patches when a column on the datawindow is set to null the display value corresponding to the 0 data value in the drop down datawindow is displayed. When the user tabs into the field to edit it though the display is set back to null. If the user goes ok it's blank like it should be and tabs out again the display value corresponding to the 0 data value is displayed again!!...

dddw display value doesn't until datawindow is scrolled
Using: PB6.5, DB2 I'm working on a single-table maintenance window and the datawindow has a dropdowndatawindow edit style defined for one of the columns. The dropdatawindow is an external datawindow; it gets populated with display values after calling a function which does the following: 1) Calls GetChild() to get a reference to the column with the dropdowndatawindow edit style, 2) Calls a shared object function that returns an instance nvo with the records to populate the dddw stored as a blob, 3) Calls SetFullState() to populate a local datastore object, 4) Loops through th...

Hi! I wanted to add a row '[None]' in a dddw ( which is based on a SQL) I don't want to add a value in my view. I am using the following code to add the row. ll_rc = adwc_obj.retrieve(dw_ra.GetItemString(1, "customer_id") ls_display = dw_sr.Describe( as_colname + ".dddw.DisplayColumn" ) ls_data = dw_sr.Describe( as_colname + ".dddw.DataColumn" ) SetNull( li_null ) adwc_obj.InsertRow(1) adwc_obj.SetItem( 1, ls_data, null ) adwc_obj.SetItem( 1, ls_display, "[None]" ) return ll_rc But in the dddw list the top row sho...
Retaining DDDW Display Values When DDDW COntents Change
I'm new to Power Builder. I'm facing a problem when I create 2 dddw. When one of them change, it should change the content of the other one. They are link with ID but display in description. Now it comes up with a problem that when focus changed, the display of the second dddw will be jump to ID instead of description. What did I miss?? Take the following scenerio. You have states and in those states you have certain counties. You have DDDW's for both of them. If the state is changed then the counties need to change as well. Once the state is changed then you hav...
Showing Display value when DDDW is retrieved after value is set
Does anyone know a way to get a DDDW to show the Display Value, when the DDDW list is retrieved after the value is set? I could do a GetItem/SetItem to re-set the value, then I'd have to set the ItemStatus to NotModified. Anyone know a better way? ...
DDDW code value is displayed when selecting instead of display
When selecting a dddw column the code value is displayed instead of the display value. Apart from that the dddw works ok. But it is quite annoying, especially when the user decides not to change the value, and the code is left in the column. Any ideas?

DDDW Combo returns display value instead of data value
I have a DDDW Combo box. I select an item in the dddw. Then I do a GetItemString() and the data value (a code) is gotten. The next time I do a GetItemString(), it seems the display value is gotten. If I type a value into the dddw, and that value is a valid item in the dddw, I still get the display value and not the data value. How can I get it to always return the data value if the display is value is valid in the dddw (and it always will be, but please don't tell me to not make it combo, because the list is long and the requirements people say this is how is must be) Am I making sense? I am using PB 5.004 Thanks, Karen ...

Help! DDDW not showing display value
Hello. I use PowerBuilder 8.0.3 (9704). I have a problem that's THIS close to driving me crazy... Every now and again, a dropdown datawindow stops behaving like it should. The dd is based on a table with 4 rows - numeric primary key and a name field, describing the contents. The DDDW has the primary key as data value, and the name field is the display value. Suddenly, out of the blue - the data value starts showing instead of the display value. I finally managed to get it right again after jogging the display and data properties a bit (changing which fields should be us...
DDDW Display Value
How can I retrieve a DDDW display value into a variable? I have a PB 6.5 form that uses external data, and a function that reads data from a dw and populates the form. A couple of the columns in the dw use DDDW, and I would like the form to print the display column, not the data column. Surely this is possible, but I haven't found anything yet that will work. Any suggestions? Thanks carl Try this function: LookUpDisplay() HTH, Rao Arimilli Check out the LookUpDisplay ( ) datawindow function. In script, you will need to use the Describe( "Evaluate ( ...
Display value from DDDW
Hi, I have dropdown datawindow that has attached in a column. By using the GetitemString I am able to take only the DATA value from the Dropdown. Is there anyway that I can take the DISPLAY value also from the Dropdowndatawindow. Any hint will be appreciated. Thanks Krthik You can use the Evaluate datawindow function with the LookupDisplay expression to get the display value. e.g. dw_1.Describe( "Evaluate( 'LookUpDisplay( column_1 )', 1 )" ) could get the display value for column_1 from the first row.

getting display values from DDDW
Hi, Using PB5.0 / PFC There is a bug which I wanted to convert to a feature :) In linked DWs is the Argument column in the master is a DDDW then pfc picks up the Display value instead of taking the data value. To use this to get the display value of DDDWs instead of going the usual way of datawindowchild - I tried to track down how PFC gets values.
