Have modified my code as follows :-
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import datetime
import os
import dabo.ui
from FrmReportBase import FrmReportBase
class FrmReport(FrmReportBase):
def initProperties(self):
app = self.Application
self.ReportName = "Membership Types Report"
self.super()
self.ReportForm = os.path.join(app.HomeDirectory,
"reports/membershipTypesRpt.rfxml")
def createBizobjs(self):
app = self.Application
conn = app.getConnectionByName("LodgeBooks")
membershiptypesRptBizobj = app.biz.MembershiptypesBizobj(conn)
self.addBizobj(membershiptypesRptBizobj)
def addControls(self):
# add any controls for selection criteria
self.super()
def requery(self):
# pass any selection criteria here
self.DataSet = self.PrimaryBizobj.getDataSet()
I get a trace error ending with :-
self.addBizobj(membershiptypesRptBizobj)
AttributeError: 'FrmReport' object has no attribute 'addBizobj'
I suspect that this is because FrmReportBase.py inherits from dDialog rather
than a form type and therefore a bizObj can't be added. If so, I guess I
will need to convert FrmReportBase to a form rather than a dialog.
Am I right?
