Hi there,

in an app I have a panel with a toolstrip (and some toolstrip-buttons), a datagridview and some textboxes.

There is a BO (called MessidentBO) and a Business Binding Source to which the BO ist bound. The BBS is used as datasource for the datagridview and the textboxes. In the cmdNew-Button I have the following code:

Me.lEditmode = True

Me.DGVWL.Enabled = False  ' Datagridview disabled

Me.cmdwlneu.Enabled = False

Me.cmdwledit.Enabled = False

Me.cmdwlsave.Enabled = True

Me.cmdwlundo.Enabled = True

Me.cmdwldelete.Enabled = False

Me.bbsmessident.BusinessObject.Add()

Me.bbsmessident.BusinessObject.Edit()

Me.TGBWL.Enabled = True  ' Themed Group Box Enabled where the textboxes reside

Me.TxtMIIdent.Focus()

But this does not work. A new record is append, but the "record pointer" (If I can use this term) is not set to the new record but stays on the one selected in the Grid.

What really makes me wondering, is that I use the same kind of code in another app and there it works fine!

I've been comparing the two pieces of code and the properties of the used elements but I can not find the difference.

Has anybody a tip for me what I might have been missing?

Thanks in advance

Thomas

Strange, this is exactly what I got with your sample after I made the changes.

Glad you got it going!

Hi Ivan,

sorry to say but I haven't got it going. My sample just shows that the Business Binding Source works right if the grid which uses the BBS is not placed on a panel like it was in the first example. I tested it a little further and added now to the working example a panel-manager and a page and placed the grid and the group-box woth the textboxes on it (The sample is attached). Guess what happens? It fails. To me it looks like a seroius bug in the business binding source component? If it is a bug, will it be fixed and when? Or is this limited by design and I have to redesign the interface. I hope you understand that the thought of redesigning the interface of an almost finished app really annoys me because it is really time-consuming.

Best regards

Thomas

Hi Thomas.

Find attached a video of your first sample, with the panel, working as I guess you expect. The only thing I did was to add a line in your New button click to navigate the grid to the newly added row. This is not a BBS responsibility, every different grid on the market will have its own way to do it. I didn't understand well what the bug would be, but maybe you are saying that a BBS wouldn't work on a panel? If so, I guess no, I haven't found any bug there, and I have BBS working in all different places through my applications, hundreds of BBSs.

This is how I navigated your grid:



Of course, there are many ways to skin a cat, so you would just have to find the best one that would fit your needs.

Cheers.

Hi Ivan,

thanks for your help. At first it did not work but after changing

dgvkunden.CurrentCell = dgvkunden.Item(0, dgvkunden.Rows.Count - 2)

to

dgvkunden.CurrentCell = dgvkunden.Item(0, dgvkunden.Rows.Count - 1)

it works really fine

Best regards

Thomas

Glad it helped, Thomas.
