changing the current record ...

deepblue

Hello,

I want to change the current record in an opened form from an another form. I used the following code but it doesn't work : in form1, I wrote

      RecExemple.RESET;
      RecExemple.GET(Val1,Val2);
      Form2.SETTABLEVIEW(RecExemple);
      Form2.SETRECORD(RecExemple);
      Form2.UPDATECONTROLS;
      CurrForm.CLOSE;

What should I do?

Thank you!!!

I don;t know the purpose of this functionality but to begin with you do not run the 2nd form.

Form2.RUN

The 2end form is already opened!!!!

Ah. I understand.

So you want to forms to look at the same record independent from each other?

I remember an other post about this. Wait while I search please

RecExemple.RESET;
RecExemple.SETRANGE(Val1,Val1);
RecExemple.SETRANGE(Val2,Val2);
// MODAL = Wait till I close Form 2 then close Form 1
FORM.RUNMODAL(FORM::"Form 2",RecExample);
CurrForm.CLOSE;

I cannot find the old post.

What do you exactly want to achieve with the 2 forms. Maybe if you explain the functionality we can figure out a technical solution for it.

I want to the form2 displays the record (Val1,Val2), values are calculated in form1. and after that to close form1

Ah this is no easy, as the form is already open, and you cannot pass the focus to the open form, while form 1 is open.

The only way is use a single instance codeunit, post some values to it then close form 1, there has been a post on the codeunit it today.

On the form 2, add a Timer Event check if the code unit has a value different from the displayed record, if it has then update the form, any other idea's?

You should declare form2 as a variable.

In form2 you make a new function.
In the function you put code like:

IF FIND('+') THEN;
CurrForm.Update(false);


In form1 you make a call to the function in form2 and it will update.

If form2 contains a temporary record you will need to trigger the correct action directly in OnFindRecord.

NB: It might require you open form2 using runmodal. This might not fit your requirement.

good luck

This is indeed the direction in which to proceed.

Please remember this is not a recomendable solution. Try to convince your customer to use a solution that is more suitable with navisions technical possibilities.
