Hi,
Trying out the floating panel - found the dDateTextBox somewhat complex -
so tried to simplify to my context as follows ...
..........
import dabo.ui.uiwx.dPanel as dPanel
class DDLPanel(dPanel):
def afterInit(self):
codes, keys = self.PrimaryBizobj.getAccountCodes()
self.AccountCodeDDL = dabo.ui.dListBox(self, Width=60, Height=200,
Left=250, Top=25, ValueMode="Key", Choices = codes, Keys = keys,
OnHit=self.codeDDLClick)
self.Visible = True
def codeDDLClick(self, evt):
self.PrimaryBizobj.moveToPK(self.AccountCodeDDL.Value)
self.update()
self.AccountCodeDDL.Value = None
self.Form.hide()
class AccountsForm(LBooksBaseForm):
def afterInit(self):
self.super() etc etc etc
My button on the form is working OK, but I seem to be having trouble
referencing the Bizobj to load the dListBox (and I imagine I'll have the
same problem updating my form with the data from the selected record). Do I
need to pass some sort of reference to the Bizobj when my Lookup button is
clicked?
Thanks
Rodgy
