Mike,
I knew that it would catch anyone's attention who carefully reads the "What's New in Update 79".
These commands are implemented for a reason; either requested by the lovely user/developers or Razzak's wonderful clients who pay his bills <g>. So, there is always a method to our madness.
After some testing and checking, these *new* commands were implemented to close and open the dataset (the driving table of the form) to dynamically assign a new driving table to the same form without closing and re-opening the actual form. You'll have to see the actual application to appreciate this feature.
With the push of a button, now you can change the displayed data in a form based on a completely different table without a flicker of the screen!
Well the Icing on that cake would be to set the where clause in a var and open
a form with:
edit using &vWhere
Then at the click of a button
Property TABLE TableName 'CLOSE'
Set var vWhere = 'Where somevalue = '''SomeOtherValue''''
Property TABLE TableName 'OPEN' Property TABLE TableName 'REFRESH'
and the Recordset changes to the new where condition....
C'mon, can I have it? Please... Please.. Can I??
Are we there yet?? ;-)
Having said that, I'll prepare a cool demo for you to demonstrate the feature and typical use of these commands.
Topic: Designing "Universal" Data Browser/Editor in a Form.
Please stay tuned ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
P.S. Did you find any other cooool items in RC79?
