On a SF Maint Form, does clicking the Undo button call the Maint form’s undo method or the primary business object’s undo method? I have a Maint form with two business objects that have a parent-child relationship. Undo is working on the parent but not the child and I believe it’s because the Undo button only calls the parent’s (primary object) undo method. If so I know how to get the behavior I want, I just want to make sure I understand what is going on.

Take a look at the "IncludeInFormUndoType" property on the form. This can be combined with a counterpart property on the BO called "IncludeInFormUndo". Basically, you can have the "Undo" action applied to the PrimaryBO, AllBOs or determined by BOs that have their IncludeInFormUndo property set true.

This logic can be applied to all other "actions" like Save, Edit, Delete, New, Navigate etc.,

The "states" enhancement sure is resolving quite a few issues

What a great idea !

Gary,

Thanks for the info. I was aware of the BO property “IncludeInFormUndo” but missed its counterpart  ‘IncludeInFormUndoType” at the form level. I gave this combination a try but it didn’t produce the exact result I was looking for. My child object is being displayed in a ListView on the maint form and is being refreshed in the ‘EditingStateChanged” event handler for the form. When I click Undo on the form the old values are not being reflected in the ListView and I’m assuming that is due to the order in which events are raised. “EditingStateChanged” is probably being raised before “Undo” on the child object.  I can get the desired result by calling Undo on the child object in the “BeforeUndo” event handler on the form or refreshing the ListView in the “EditingStateChaged” event handler of child object.

StrataFrame provides a lot of options and therefore presents a definite learning curve, but I’m finding the more I work with it the more I like it.
