Copying Marked records

SPost29

I'm stumped!!
I want to mark records (or setselectionfilter) on a form then copy the marks or selection filter (and other filters) to another instance of the same table.
How can I do this?

garak

CurrForm.setselectionFilter(NewVariableOfTypeRecordBasedOnTheSameTable); <- this copies all blue (if no one is blue then the line where the courser is) makrd lines to the NewVariableOfTypeRecordBasedOnTheSameTable. (CurrForm.setselectionFilter(SalesHeader);)
Now all blue marked recs are stored into the NewVariableOfTypeRecordBasedOnTheSameTable Recordinstance.


If you mark the records in the listform (Ctrl+F1) you use the following:

markedonly(true);
if find('-') then begin
  repeat
    MyTempTABLEBasedOnTheSameTableLikeTheForm.init;
    MyTempTABLEBasedOnTheSameTableLikeTheForm := Rec;
    MyTempTABLEBasedOnTheSameTableLikeTheForm.insert;
  until next = 0;
end;

markedonly(false);

Now all marked (Ctrl+F1) Recs are stored in the Temporary Table.

Thanks,
Can I just copy the marks not the whole record?
Like copyfilter except for marks.

I think you just need top COPY your original record variable to the other instance NewInstance.Copy(OriginalInstance) ;

COPY (Record)
Use this function to copy a record from a C/SIDE table. All filters, marks, and keys are included in the copy.

After that just remove the filters from the new instance.
