Getting a reference to a DW in a nested report
I 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 Marshall Coopers & Lybrand Consulting Edmonton, AB, Canada. 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 ...

Urgent
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. 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 ...

Reference a datawindow object (nested report) in a datawindow
Is 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...

How to get a child DW which contains a nested report of a Composite DW
Hi evryone, As PB cannot pass array retrieval argument to a composite DW (again a limitation of this poor dev tool), I need to retrieve manually each nested report. The problen is that one of the report contains a nested report tool (a third level) so the GetChild fails. As a result, there is no solution to make my report...except definitely drop PB If you use a database, can't you use temporary tables?

Getting reference to nested reports
In 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?

Get Reference to a nested datawindow
Hi 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 the reference to a nested report
Hi, I have a tabular report (dw_list) with in the detail band a nested report (dw_nested). How can I get a reference to the nested report?? In a composite report one can do something like: datawindowchild ldwc dw_composite.getchild("nameNestedReport",ldwc) ldwc.SetTransObject(SQLCA) ldwc.insertrow(0) ... (or one can use sharedata to fill the nested report) However, if dw_list is not a composite report, dw_list.getchild("nameNestedReport",ldwc) DOES NOT WORK Is there a way to get the reference to the nested report?? Is the...

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'. Stuart_O'_Donnell wrote: > I have a datawindow with several nested reports. > > I wish to get a handle to each of them and then try...

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...

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...

how to get data of a nested report in a basic dw
Hi, I want to get data of a nested report(dw_nested) in a basic datawindow named dw_1. I can use dot notation to get data of nested report such as dw_1.Object.dw_nested.Object.DataWindow.data , but if nested report name is from a variabls ls_nested but not a constant, i can't use dot notation such as dw_1.Object.ls_nested.Object.DataWindow.data to get data of nested report(ls_nested). I try to use Describe syntax dw_1.Describe(ls_nested +".Object.DataWindow.data") but not work. How can i do? Best Regards Johnson AFAIK - you can't. You have to use...
