Hi people
mmm... well in fact Frank, Drew, Marc...
where are the "real"/"common" users of macros in forms/...?
Is this apathy or is everybody on vacations?
By the way, Manuel invited French programmers to join this discussion
http://fr.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=prog&msgNo=6371
but seems they are on vacations too :-(
Nope, we are here!
But (speaking for myself), missing the great advantage this change will
bring us, except the prospective that our unsophisticated code will not
work in future versions of OO.
Myself, I am much more interested in doing things that I can not do now
(my fault?).
Example: how do I use a form control in a form with a parameter query.
Goal: to tell the database server the parameter changed, but not the
query, to get a quick new selection based on controls on the form.
Basically I believe this is what a subform does, right? But I want to
get all the data from a certain period (StartDate to EndDate).
To work on this, I trigger an event from the form, that brings me to the
break point in the IDE.
With no luck, so far, BTW.
I even resorted to diving into the sources (DatabaseForm,
formfiltermanager, formparameters, how advanced do us simple users need
to get?), and concluded the implementation is not as documented (as
Frank already pointed out).
What I really need is *access* to the parameters of the datasource, so I
can fill them in before the CompletionHandler kicks in. Up to now it
seems to me it can't be done.
I don't really care *how* I get access to a certain, form, control or
datasource. What counts is: what can I do with it?
I´ll return on the subject of "Controls on a form as a filter parameter"
later.
