Get the child of a Nested report in a tabular Datawindow ( possible, but... )

Hi,

I'm using PB 5.0.04, I have a nested report within a tabular DataWindow.  I
need to change several properties of nested report.  GetChild(), comonly
used, can't get the child, it returns -1.  But, If i do that :

After the Retrieve() of dw_tabular...

DataWindowChild ldwc_nested

dw_tabular.Modify( "DataWindow.processing = 5" )
dw_tabular.GetChild( "nested_report_object", ldwc_nested )
dw_tabular.Modify( "DataWindow.processing = 0" )

ldwc_nested is a DataWindowChild that handles the nested report.

I can do any ldwc_nested.Describe( "..." ) I want. ldwc_nested is the nested
report in the first row of dw_tabular.  If I do ldwc_nested.Modify( "..." ),
only the nested report of the first row for dw_tabular is changed, nested
for all other rows of dw_tabular become invisible.

How can I do a GetChild() for all others rows ?  Or can i get childs for
other rows with "dot notation" ?

Thanks for your help !!

P.S. If you want, you can also reply in french :)

getchild works with composites.  I see that you have changed it to a
composite so it allows you to do a getchild.

But it doesn't work always.  That is why they probably have that check.  

I would suggest trying to make the report a composite.
