Getting a reference/handle to nesteds reports
I have a datawindow with several nested reports. I wish to get a handle to each of them and then try and export their contents to flat text. I thought <dw_control>.getchild(<'name of nested report'>,<datawindowchild variable>) would work, but it returns a -1. I'm using PB6.5, Windows2000 Pro.

It is absolutely correct and must work. Check for the correctness of 'name of nested report'.

The datawindow is not of type composite. There are other objects like columns, computed fields, etc. as well as nested reports. I think you can only get a reference or handle to a nested report if the datawindow that has the nested report is a datawindow of type composite.

Stuart,
You can not get handle (datawindowchild) to the subreports
in nested reports. PB help says:
GetChild method (DataWindows)
====================================
Provides a reference to a child DataWindow or to a report in
a composite DataWindow, which you can use in DataWindow
functions to manipulate that DataWindow or report.
====================================
As we see it specifically says about composite. And the reason is
probably that each instance of a child has its own data, etc.. So if
it would be possible we would need an array of such handles.
You can however manipulate properties and data of nested
objects using DW direct syntax reference (dot notation). Like
this:
dw_1.Object.NestRep[2].Object.Data = dw_2.Object.Data
This example is from the "DataWindow Reference" PB manual.
You can manipulate data on the row level as well. Here we see
that we "address" the child with a row qualification.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou.....it now works fine for what i want to do. in the end it look something like : dw_import_raw.object.report2.object.report1.object.datawindow.data ....and so on..... ...it looks complicated but when you break it down and parse through what you are writing it is ok. Again...thanks!!

Dear all, I'm using PB 6.5.1. I have a report with the following layout: Datawindow A contain Datawindow B, Datawindow B contain Datawindow C And I want to get a reference to Datawindow C.
