Hey Nate,
If I could pester you some more: I've changed my form to a
dOkCancelDialog, which works works in that it solves my problem of
getting information back to the other for upon acceptance.
However, I can't seem to get the data bound control (a grid) to work on
the dDialog. It displays, but doesn't fill. This part did work when I
had it on a dForm. To translate to a dDialog I had to remove the
unsupported form methods like self.addBizobj(), self.requery(), etc. I
was hoping that I would be able to bind the grid directly to the data
control without the form methods by calling the bizobj's methods, but
that doesn't seem to be working. ie:
def afterInitAll(self):
#self.requery()
self.Item_Master_Lookup.requery()
self.grdResults.refresh()
What's the trick to getting the bizobj and grid to work together without
the form methods?
Bill.
