WITH thisform.mySpecialCoolGrid .Column1.Datasource=blah .Column2.Width=123 ENDWITH && thisform.mySpecialCoolGrid
Or you can set a local variable reference in your method code to refer to the grid that's buried in page3 of a pageframe, etc. m.loGrid=thisform.pageframe1.page3.mySpecialCoolGrid WITH m.loGrid .Column1.Datasource=blah .Column2.Width=123 ENDWITH Or you can have a form level property that stores a reference to your form grid and set it in the form INIT. Thisform.gridref= thisform.pageframe1.page3.mySpecialCoolGrid <other init code> I do something similar to this where I've subclassed my baseform class as baseformwithgrid. It has a bunch of properties and methods in the form container that I need to make various bits of grid magic happen. If I know a form is going to use a grid I create the form based on that subclass. Is that what you're looking to achieve? -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gene Wirchenko Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2013 5:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Wish: thisgrid Dear Vixens and Reynards: In my kludging about making grid work as I need it, I have been putting properties in the containing form because thisform is convenient way to refer to them. The properties probably belong in the grid class (though I may change my mind once I start dealing with non-grid controls on the form). Is there an easy way to refer to the grid control that contains a input control, or do I need to traverse the hierarchy to find the grid? (Whether I do so when I need the property value or whether I pass the reference when instantiating the input controls, I expect I will have to do a traversal at some time.) _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD044228EE8EEB8@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
