Ok guys. I finally got it. I didn't quite work with the info John gave me,
but it pointed me in the right direct.
1st mistake. I didn't have a parent child bizobj relationship set up. Once I
set this up and played around and played around I finally came up with the
following. It might not be the best way, but as John said earlier in this
thread "...as many ways to skin this cat as there are programmer"
Here's what worked.
In my frmContacts-code.py file:
##check that there are records and if not warn user if so proceed
def checkForRecords(self):
#frm = dabo.ui.createForm("frmBuilderDetails.cdxml", parent=self)
biz = self.PrimaryBizobj
ds = biz.getDataSet()
if len(ds) == 0:
dabo.ui.stop("No record present. Can not provide Builder
Details.\nYou need to do a Builder Search first.", title="No Record
Available")
else:
self.getRecordValue()
def getRecordValue(self):
frm = dabo.ui.createForm("frmBuilderDetails.cdxml", parent=self)
self.hide()
frm.show()
And in my frmBuilderDetails-code.py file:
def afterInit(self):
self.BorderResizable = False
self.MenuBar = None
self.showRecord() ####added
def showRecord(self):
biz = self.Parent.PrimaryBizobj
recordval = biz.getFieldVal("builderfk")
bizval = self.getBizobj("builders")
bizval.UserSQL = ("select * from builders where id = %s" % (recordval,))
bizval.requery()
#print "testing:", bizval.getDataSet()
## possible performance hit?
Thanks for all the help!! I'm still a python/dabo n00b but I'm learning.
Feel free to critique the solution
