Happy New year everyone…

Probably too long on holiday..

Is there a way I can read all data on a non data bound form?

apart from using ctrlmap

Thanks

Gerry

If none of the record properties work for you (atrecord, record, or even @record) have you tried including the Oiwin common and looking at subrows@(0)?

Hi Andrew,

Was going to look at it as an option

Haven't tried it in 10 as yet..

Thanks

Hi Gerry,

If it's not data-bound then no - OI has no idea what the structure of a "record" would look like, or what controls and properties constitute "data" for your purposes (there are some obvious ones of course). If this is a common requirement then it might be worth creating a stored procedure to perform this sort of thing for you (I've done this in the past to emulate data-binding in apps that have custom data-binding requirements).

As a 'quick and dirty' method you could do something like this:

   ctrlMap = get_Property( @window, "CONTROLMAP" )

   convert @fm to @rm in ctrlMap

   ctrlData = get_Property( ctrlMap, "DEFPROP" )



   // Now iterate across ctrlMap and look for fields in ctrlData ....

Naming conventions are a help, and you could perhaps assign a UDP custom "@" property to a control that identifies it as a control containing data (you can do this in the Form Designer in v10 rather than needing to do it in code) - that way it would be easy for a generic routine to pick out the data controls.

Hi Carl,

I just created a new procedure to do just that..

Will use concepts as you explained

Not my original code hence trying to find a quick way

In Arev we had @pseudo with the dict a position number and could get it like so..

Will recreate as best I can

Thanks..

Gerry
