I've got a child dialog form (built from SF Maintenance class) working well except for its browse dialog, which is not limiting the offered records to those associated with the current parent record.  When it is searched, it offers all possible child records. 

The BO relationship is correctly setup, because adding a MyChildBO1 record correctly fills its FK_Parent foreign key field.  And when I navigate through the child records, only those for a given FK_Parent are shown.   What I would like is for only those records to be offered on the child form's browse dialog.

To help inform the browse dialog, I added a copy of the MyParentBO1 to the child form and have the parent form CFD fill both the MyChildBO1 and MyParentBO1.   I've checked that on the child form, MyParentBO1 is sitting there on the correct record after it is loaded, so that its PK does match the FK on the child records.

I've tried fiddling with the various settings within the ChildForm.BrowseDialog1.BusinessObjectToPopulate properties.  In there, the ParentBusinessObject is correctly set to MyParentBO1.  "ChildAutoFilterOption" looked promising but doesn't seem to help.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

TIA,

Larry

Hi Larry,

Honestly I never used the Related Form functionality in VPM, I am sure some developers may find it very useful, but in my case, I try to keep it simple whenever I can.  Also I am always looking at other commercial applications look and I have never seen the Related Form approach which lead me to just keep it in the bag in case I may ever use it, but after 10+ years working with VPM (Visual ProMatrix) I never actually use it and disable it at the base class.

I am glad to be of some help.  Please show us your final form when complete.
