[RBASE-L] - Re: Data Entry Form with Live-Updating List

[Jan Johansen]

Alex,

Are you using a DBLookUpListView?
I don't think you can enter data using that object.
It's just what it says "Lookup".
You would need to use a DBGrid or ScrollingRegion.

  Hello,

  Thanks for your help Jan.

  I implemented the property command and it does the trick as far as adding my 
new rows to the list! However, there are a couple of flaws that I must resolve: 

      -If I click on any row in the ListView, all the rows disappear. (They are 
not deleted from the table...it's just that the ListView blanks out.) 
      -Also, there is a lag for processing time that is a bit unreasonable (2-3 
seconds per item after clicking my save row button) for a fast data entry 
employee.
      -I wanted to be able to edit a row in the form by clicking on it in the 
ListView - this won't work since the rows disappear when I click on them

  I have a feeling that I'm approaching this function from the wrong angle 
altogether...

    Alex, 
    Make sure that your list view has a ComponentID. 
    Then at the end of your "Add" routine, place 
    PROPERTY yourlistcomponent REFRESHLIST TRUE 
    Based on what you say about showing variables 
    you may need a RECALC VARIABLES also.

      Hello, 

      I have a data entry form with a Variable Lookup ListView, and I would 
      like the ListView to be interactive with the form. (Ex: If I click on a 
      row in the list, that data is immediately displayed in the form fields 
      to edit...or as soon as I add a row, it shows up in the list. 

      I have seen something similar to what I am looking for in the 
      DBGridListBox Sample Application (dbgridlb). The difference is that I 
      process my data entry in batches, so the ListView must use a where 
      clause specifying a batch name variable. 

      Right now I have this set up to the point where it functions almost as I 
      described, except that I must close and reenter the form for the 
      ListView to update. 

      Thanks for any assistance!
