Design Question

mgifford

I have a design question that I am stuck on. It seems simple enough, but when it comes down to putting fingers to keyboard - I decided I needed some advice.

In the Sales Order screen, the user would like to have a "function" that would popup a window and allow them to manually select a subset of the existing records on the screen, then I have a bunch of logic I will use to process those records - resulting in new records being created in a new custom table. I have the part figured out about the logic I need and how to create new records in my table. What I dont know is how to go about giving the user the ability to manually select the records.

My thoughts were:

Create a new form that includes a checkbox column that is still based on the SalesLine table (not sure how to add just an unbound checkbox)


Somehow use the existing form/subform to include a checkbox that is unbound.
Dont know how to do that either.



Any ideas?

OK, I think I jumped the gun, if I understand correctly, I can use the setselectionfilter to mark the currently selected records then process against those marked records right in the original screen.

Sound right?

yes, that's right!

Only problem is that if I select from the bottom up, it prompts asking me if I want to rename the record...my code looks like this - right now i am just trying to prove the concept. This code is on the sales order subform called from a function on the main sales order form.

CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER(Rec);
Rec.MARKEDONLY(TRUE);
FIND('-');
REPEAT
  MESSAGE('%1', "No.");
UNTIL NEXT = 0;

Rec.MARKEDONLY(FALSE);
