Update a form form a subform

j.stalder

Hello,

I'd like to open a form from a subform, and when i change the record selected in the subform, the linked form should be updated automatically.

Thanks for your futur answers

This cannot be done with properties or things like that.

You need to write some timer functions which updates the forms if required.

Hi Mark,

How do you update the form already opened? which function do you use?

Thanks for your answer

You need to write some function that is triggerd by a timer. This can be the timer ocx or the OnTimer trigger.

In this function you set the condition for the form to update.

This condition you can store in a singleinstance codeunit.

From the subform you call a function in the codeunit (SetUpdate)

This need to set a global variable to true.

From the to-be-updated from you call a function in the codeunit(DoUpdate)

This returns TRUE if the global variable is true and sets the variable to false

Good Luck 8)

I understand what you mean but what i wanted is the name of the functions to use.

I tried some time ago to update the form opened form the subform with a setTableView with a new filter on the record passed..

Hope you understand what i mean

Yes, I hope I understand, I think :?

The problem is that most of the functions you need to define yourself.

From the subform you have a function like

CopyRec := Rec;
Form.run(Form::"The Form, Rec);

And one in the OnTimer trigger

If Codeunit.UpdateMainForm then
  Currform.Update(FALSE)

On the other form you have some function like

UpdateSubform

Which you activate when the subform needs updating...

So unfortunately no standard functions here
