Browse Dialog in a Child form

Ivan George Borges — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 14:00:59 GMT

Hya.

I put a BrowseDialog in a child form.

It shows up fine, the search fields are there, the records get listed, but once I choose one and go back to the form, it doesn't position the BO to the chosen record.

Am I missing something? (besides the beautiful windy and sunny day out there)

Never mind Trent, don't want to take your time with this.

Id doesn't change anything. I press the button to refresh but it seems it is stoped in the row it is showing.

I can continue with the forms and surely will find out what I did here.

Just to prove and see if the refresh fixes the issue, just put a button on your form and add the code to do the refresh when you come back from the browse. If the refresh works then I will try to think of a place to add the code so it is automatically called.

I meant where (which method, event) in the parent should I put this line of code.

Well, I put it in the Activate method, no lucky.

It is on the business object. For example:

MyBO.Refresh()

Yes, it does, but not positioned in the correct row.

Extremely sorry for the stupid question, but where could I call the Refresh?

LOL...yeah, I'll get him in here to translate for me. When you return from the browse, does the BO contain the correct data? It so, try calling the BO.Refresh()...this will force your bound controls to refresh to the current record in the BO.

[quote][b]Trent L. Taylor (09/18/2006)[/b][hr]Is the business object that is attached to the browse a translated business object? This could possibly be a dangerous situation if you are changing the contents of the business object that is managed on the parent form. However, if the child form has a browse that is not going to kill your parent/child logic you will be fine.

If you look at the contents of the BO after the browse, does the record actually exist in the BO...first lets make sure that the data made it back.[/quote]

Yes, it is a translated business object.:blush:

It is a one-to-many situation. Have the parent, a button there calling the child form. This parent may have lots of kids, so I put a Browse dialog in the child ToolStrip. Then I set the BOToPopulate to the BO in the Child, and its Type. When I go to the Browse and do a Search, the grid gets populated alright. I click the chosen one and go back to the child form, that's when it doesn't show the record I chose, but it stays in the one it was already.

Too confusing? Would you like me to try and explain in Portuguese? You can ask Steve to help in the translation...:D

It is already Trent.

It is working fine in all the other forms. It's just in this ChildForm that it is not. In the parent of this form, it works fine.

You need to set the BusinessObjectToPopulate property on the business object. This is the BO that gets updated with the results located from the browse when you click the OK within the BrowseDialog.

yup...I would agree that it would be more fun outside today :)
