How to share the datawindow to inner datawindow of nested datawindowHow to share the datawindow to inner datawindow of nested datawindow.
Ex
--------
dw_1 is normal datawindow dw_nes is nested datawindow, both are placed
one window
dw_nes contain dw_child datawindow
Question
----------------
i want to share dw_1 and dw_child.
I have tried the below code, getting error
dw_1.sharedata( dw_nes.object.dw_child)
It's the dot notation. You will need to dw_nes.GetChild("dw_child", ldwc)
where ldwc is a _local_ datawindowchild.

datawindowAdd 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 and datawindow objectsDifference 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>

DataWindow Within DataWindowHow Can I access/modify object/control from a Datawindow within Datawindow.
When i access/modify object/control from a Datawindow i used
dw_1.modify("name.text = 'new val'") but within another datawindow or child
datawindow it doesnt work.
Your description is difficult to understand due to the terminology. First,
a datawindow is assigned to a control - either a datawindow control or a
datastore. Second, the Modify function can only be called within a script.
With that as a basis, can you rephrase the question and describe more
precisely what you want to do? ...
Datawindows with child datawindowsI 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 in composite datawindow used in datawindow.NET, are not sliding upHi,
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.
When I looked at the generated JavaScript, I noticed there is "div" for the
datawindow with height 0.00in
which is supposed to be not visible. Tried different options with
html/xhtml/xml same result.
But slides up ok when exported to pdf(using saveas) on web and in PB10.5
application.

a better Datawindow SaveAs functionDear all,
A general question about a common request from our clients...
Is there a PB utility (third party or otherwise) to allow the user save a
datawindow in some sort of WYSIWYG format.
I know you can use the SaveAs function, but this saves all of the columns in
the underlying select statement, not just
the columns visible to the user. It's also not WYSIWYG.
This is a long shot ... but is there some tool I can use to allow the user
'Cut and Paste' sections of a DataWindow to
Word (for example). I've seen some applications written in Delphi that have

I will print two datawindow in one page,and I use child datawindow.One master datawindow (dw_master)with two child datawindow(dc1 and dc2)dw_master("dw_dc1",dc1)
dw_master("dw_dc2",dc2)
dc1 has a argument (arg1)
dc2 has a argument (arg2)
Arg1 and Arg2 are send by one column of dw_master.
When I use retrieve() function,the datawindow can display normal,but when I
print preview or use Zoom or printsetup() ,the childdatawindow dc2 can't
display but dc1 normal!
Why??
Thanks for your help!
I'm having trouble understanding your question. Is this a composite or nested
datawindow?

Inserting datawindow to another datawindowHello,
what is the best (ok, any) method of inserting all visual objects
from first datawindow to second datawindow, while keeping
the objects from second datawindow on their place?
Thank you for your time :-)

The best method would be to go back to design :-))

Drop down datawindow within a datawindowI 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

Properties of a datawindow on a composite datawindowI have a composite report that has 2 nested datawindows. At run time, I want to
modify the dataobject of one of the nested datawindows on the report. I am
using the GetChild function to get a reference to the nested datawindow on the
report. Here's the code I am using. dw_maintain_code is the nested datawindow
on dw_composite.
li_rtn = dw_composite.GetChild("dw_maintain_code",ldw_child1) //get reference
