This code doesn't work becasue boProspectSearch.client_pk contains the PK of the first record even though I selected the 5th record in the grid. I know I should be able to do this because when I don't copy the data from the "Search" BO the form populated correctly with the selected record. So what do I need to do here?

Thanks!

private void brwProspects_BrowseDialogClosed(MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.BrowseDialogClosedEventArgs e)

{

// Copy the data from the prospect search business object

// to the clients business object

string[] lcFieldList = new string[] { "client_pk", "type_fk", "tier_fk", "company_nme", "company_ein", "stradd_nme", "stradd_sfx", "city_nme", "state_nme", "pcode_nme", "active_flg", "sales_fk", "relat_fk", "admin_fk", "analy_fk", "file_dir", "csz_dsc", "lastmod_nme", "lastmod_dte" };

Int32 lnClient_pk;

if (!boProspectSearch.IsEmpty)

{

lnClient_pk = boProspectSearch.client_pk;

boClients.CopyDataFrom(boProspectSearch.CurrentDataTable.DefaultView.ToTable(true, lcFieldList), MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessCloneDataType.ClearAndFillFromCompleteTable);

boClients.NavigateToPrimaryKey(lnClient_pk);

}

}

You are welcome to produce a sample the replicates your behavior and post it here, but if you look at the ShowDialog method in the SF source code in the BrowseDialog class, you will see that the BrowseDialogClosed event isn't called until the index has been set, so there may be another factor here in your code.  Also, we use a technique similar to this (for other purposes) in our medical software, so I am confident that it will work, but there just may be something else in the mix here.  Here is the code that I an referring to:

(I have also attacherd this image so you don't have to squint )

1. The dialog is shown and the results captured
2. The CurrentRowIndex is set within the BusinessObjectToPopulate (_BusinessObject)
3. The BrowseDialogClosed event is raised

So you can see that the CurrentRowIndex should be set at this point, so as I mentioned, there could be something else going on here that I cannot see in your snippet.  A code sample always helps when trying to work through problems like this.  Let me know if this doesn't get you going in the right direction.

 

OK - I think I know what is happening here. boProspectSearch is based on a ciew so no primary key is specified in the BP mapper. Therefore, loForm.SelectedPrimary key is Nothing .

Is there a way to tell the BO mapper that a field in the view is a primary key?

Yup, go into the BO Mapper, right-click the BO in question, the open the Advanced Options.  You can override the Primary Key.  This was actually implemented for this very purpose (when mapping to views).  It has other uses as well, but this is what spawned this feature.

Thanks a million, Trent! You are my hero!

LOL...glad you found what you needed
