UrgentDear 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. However, I tried to use
GetChild() for Datawindow B. It retured -1. Thus, I also tried to get
another Datawindow D which is nested in Datawindow A and no nested
datawindow nested in it. Then, using GetChild is worked for this case. Am I
missing something?? is there any other way round?? Any ideas or suggestion
are welcome. Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards,
Andy Cheung

Simon,
Reference the DataWindow's GetChild() function in the on-line help.

GetChild() can only get reference to dddw or to a report in a composite dw.
it can't get reference to nested report.

Use the dot notation. e.g.

Reference a datawindow object (nested report) in a datawindowIs it possible to reference a datawindow object in a datawindow?
My scenario :
I have a datawindow (composite) which holds another datawindow (nested
report).
This child datawindow has a OLE ActiveX object which I am trying to access
from the window which holds the composite datawindow.
The reason for this is because I need to access the ActiveX
properties/functions after the composite datawindow have been retrieved.
I've tried to get a reference to the child datawindow :
//DataWindowChild dwc_activex
dw1.getchild("dw_activex", dwc_activex)
But as datawi...
Get Reference to a nested datawindowHi all!...
I have a little problem. I 'm using PB 8 and i need to get
reference to a nested dw in a main dw.
I have main datawindow, say dw_print, and a nested dw called
dw_1.
I'm trying to use dot syntax to get reference to nested
datawindow dw_1, as i have read in old posts, but i take an
error when applying this solution.
In the old posts (relatively to PB 7) someone suggested to
use this notation:
======================================================
dwcontrol.Object.nestedcontrolname { [row ] }
.Object.dwcontrolname. &
property { .property } { = value }...
Getting reference to nested reportsIn PB 6.5, I can't do a GetChild to get access to a nested report, unless
the DW is a Composite.
Anyone know if that has changed in PB 7/8?
The limitation is still there in 7.x and 8.0.

How to get reference of a nested report in a dw?Hi,
I can use GetChild() method to get reference of report in a composite dw,
but it failed(return -1) to get reference of nested report in a dw. How can
i get reference of a nested report in a dw?
Best Regards

Here is the example in powerbuilder help : In this example, dw_1 is
composite report, emp_state is the name of the nested report
(datawindowchild) and state_child is the reference to this datawindowchild.
DataWindowChild state_child
integer rtncode
rtncode = dw_1.GetChild('emp_state', state_child)
IF rtncode = -1 THEN MessageBox( &

Getting a reference to a DW in a nested reportI need to get a reference to a datawindow in a nested report.
The format (dw_1.Object.rpt_1) gets me a dwObject reference. I need an
actual datawindow reference.
Please, no off the cuff answers (and flat out uninformed answers).
TeamPS preferred. Mail or post answer (preferably both) at
wmarshal@ca.coopers.com.

Wade,
There are quite a few restrictions when dealing with nested DWs.
Is this a true nest (i.e., an instance per master row), or
a nest inside a composite? You can get a child handle on a nest

Getting a reference to a nested report object.Hi guys,
Anyone know a way of getting a reference to a nested report
object.
I almost want to do something like
reportObjectDataType reportObject
for i = rows to 0 step -1
reportObect = dw_main.GetItemReport('nested_report_name',
rownumber)
var = reportObject.value
if var = 'this' then
dw_main.deleteRow(i)
end if
next
I realise that this won't work but hope it shows what I am
trying to do...
Could really use some help, it will be a mission to change
the report to to return the rows I dont' want in the first
place (belive it...

Not what I need.
I want to use RowsCopy() getting the rows from a NESTED report.
You need to use dot notation. Suppose you have datawindowcontrol dw_1 which
contains a nested report called d_report in the column col_report.
dw_1.Object.col_report[1].Object.d_report

How to get data from nested report in datawindow?I am using PB6.5
I used an nested report in current datawindow to get some data from database
and I need to use data retrieved from nested report to compute in current
window , and I do not how?
Any help is apreciated...
Mladen
Mladen,
If your nested report is on a composite DW and it doesn't itself have nested
reports in it then you can use GetChild() to get a ref to the nested report
then use the ref to call typical DW functions. Use those functions to grab
the data and do what you want with it.
If GetChild() doesn't work (because your DW doesn't match...
Getting a reference/handle to nesteds reportsI 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'.

How to use getChild() function to get the reference to a nested report?Hi, There,
I am tring to use getChild() function to get a reference to a nested
report. Base dataWindow and nested report are SQL source datawindows.
When this function is called, it returns -1. Any tips?
Thanks.

If you are not using Composite Datawindow you CAN NOT obtain handles to your
report objects

Getting SqlSelect from a nested report in a datawindow via a datastoreThe title says it all... I've got a free form datawindow with a nested
report. I'm calling it via a datastore and I can't see to be able to get
the sql statement out and back for the nested report in the datastore.
Direction?
Chris
Well, it's still a little confusing.
Let me guess at a cause, though. Are you trying GetChild() on the
nested report to get its handle? If so, it doesn't work in nested
reports. The only sql you'll be able to extract is that of the base
report, the freeform.
Let me know more in the case that I've totally misunderstood ...
