Hi Trent/Dustin,



Could you please provide a sample code on how to pass the parameter to the ChildFormDialog?



I checked the e.ChildFormParameters in the ListView.BeforeChildFormExecuted but this property is ReadOnly and also I don't now how I would add the parameters I need to send to the ChildFormDialog.

My bad .

Attached is a sample of these items. In short:

Child Form Dialog Parameters

You simply pass a comma seperated list of values in the ShowDialog method, and format the constructor of the child dialog to match the values you pass.

So, on the parent:

Which means the constructor of the child should look like:

StrataListView Enhancements

Both of these are simply properties of the StrataListViewSubItem and StrataListViewItem respectively.  Here is a block of code from the attached sample app that demonstrates this:

Hope it helps!

Hi Dustin,



I have not check the sample file yet, will do so in a minute, but want to clarify that I am using a SF ListView with the automation and the listview will call the ChildFormDialog internally, how do I pass the parameters in my form to the Listview so it will be pass to the internal ChildFormDialog in the listview?



As I said in the original message, the e.ChildFormParameters in the ListView.BeforeChildFormExecuted is ReadOnly.



Also if possible next time, use VB code instead of C#

Hi Dustin,



After looking at the sample I noticed that you said these properties are for the new StrataListView not the SF ListView as listed in the release documentations, that is why I was looking at the wrong control.



Please you have to add the automation feature in the current SF ListView to the new StrataListView so we can start replacing the old one with the new one and be able to provide test feedback. In my case I use the SF ListView in most of my forms and it would be challenge to manually update all the population settings and childform automations to the new StrataListView.



P.S.

Thanks for the sample, pretty interesting approach. Hope you can clarify my previous thread about ChildFormDialog parameters using the SF ListView automation features.

Hello again, anybody home????

Edhy Rijo

another bump here....

Edhy,



I assume that you are just wanted to know when we are going to add the automation logic, right? If that is the case, then we will be doing this before the final release of 1.7.0.0. We have a need for this as well, but this control has grown so much that we didn't want to do add this until it was not so fluid in enhancements.

Hi Trent,



Glad to see you back!



No, it is not that, I cannot see how to use the new childFormDialog parameters with the current SF ListView automation.



If you don't mind, please read the thread since I explained this several times but guess was not understood.

Edhy Rijo

No, this is in regards to the new SF ListView, not the old one. I can provide a sample, but this is for the new list view.







It is supposed to be readonly, it is a collection. You don't override the collection instance, you add items to it:



CSharp





VB.NET

Thanks but Dustin already provided a sample on this one clarifying that it was referring to the new StrataListView.



Thanks for the sample code for the parameters, it is very simple now.

Edhy Rijo

Good deal. Sorry for any confusion!

Hi Trent,



Just to let you know that I tested the ChildFormParameters feature and it works just great.



Thanks again for the addition of this feature, it does makes my life easier.

Edhy Rijo

Awesome! Glad to hear it!!
