How to share the datawindow to inner datawindow of nested datawindow
How 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.

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 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.

DataWindow Within DataWindow
How 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 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 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. 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. Also s...

a better Datawindow SaveAs function
Dear 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 this feat...

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 ...

Properties of a datawindow on a composite datawindow
I 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 ls_rtn = ldw_child1.Modify('dw_maintain_code.dataobject = d_code_sync') li_rtn = dw_code_type_list.ShareData(ldw_child1) The Modify returns an empty str...
