I've created a form whose purpose is to maintain a number of tables.  I'm using a ThemedLinkMenu for table selection and a PanelManager with a separate page for each table.  On each page I placed a MaintenanceToolStrip control.  For the 1st page it works fine but all subsequent page's toolstrips are also "bound" to the primary business object.  Is there anyway to bind each MaintenaceFormToolStrip to a separate business object?  Or is there a better way to design the app where each "page" would be it's own form and thus have it's own primary business object?  Displaying child forms in the area now occupied by the panelmanager?

Thanks!!

Are you saying that the form is just automatically in edit mode? How do you do this? Set the Ignore(BO State...can't remember the property name) to True on the controls? Or do you just automatically turn on editing, then manage it? Sounds intriguing, but I'm confused....

Whoa there....it isn't that complicated   To play with this, create a sample application that talks to the StrataFrameSample database (or something).  Create a BO (CustomersBO) and drop it on the form and set it up as though you would any other BO and bind it to your text boxes, etc.

Set the ManageUIReadOnlyState of the BO to False...this will leave the bound controls in an editable state.  Then add a handler to the IsDirtyChanged event of the BO....when it changes, set your Save/Undo buttons enabled state based off of the CustomersBO.IsDirty property.  It is pretty much that simple

So, because the controls are bound to the BO, any changes to them affect the underlying datatable? Which would mean that the editing state is more about the UI than the data? (just trying to learn more about my favorite framework)

You got it

Now you've got the picture!

Ahhh...you're making me blush

Cool! Thanks!
