Hi Guys,

I am using the listview, in its full automated glory. What I have is a childform that has 3 buttons on it, that are OK/Add,OK and Cancel. OK and Cancel are easy enough to deal with, but the OK/Add button keeps the child form open so that the user can add another item and for the parent form to update and show the line that was added. The idea is to just reduce mouseclicks.

Now, I had previously done this using the parentform capability, but when using the childformdialog this seems to be empty.

What is best way of finding out the parent form that a childform was launched from is this held anywhere?

Also, how do you pass in parameters to a childform when using the automated listview? I can't see this being done in strataflix, but I might have missed it. Indeed, this could resolve my first problem.

thanks

Geoff.

I have actually wanted to do this before and I jsut haven't done it....primarily because you can get around it pretty easy.  I just created a shared (static) property that was exposed on the child form which is a reference to the parent form.

Hi Trent,

THanks for this.

If you are using the Listview automation, how do you get to be able to access this property? The form is wrapped up in the ChildFormDialog object, which doesn't have any events. The Listview has the BeforeChildFormExecuted, but again I can't find anyway to access the actual form.

thanks in advance

Geoff.

Trent,

Sorry, missed the shared (most important bit).

best

Geoff.

No problem
