QUESTION:
I would like to send the cursor back to a dbform on the view after the button is pressed and Check_Info_Typed returns False. I am using the code below:
Procedure OnClick
string sStatus
boolean bRetVal
get value of oMyDBFormObject to sStatus
if (sStatus) begin
Get Check_Info_Typed sStatus to bRetVal
if (not(bRetVal)) begin
send activate of oMyDBFormObject
procedure_return
end
else begin
// do something when bRetval is true
end
end
end_procedure
Is it correct? Is it the way to do it?
ANSWER:
Your method is the way I do it and it works. If the dbform is in a TabPage and it is different from that of the button, you need to switch to that TabPage and then activate the dbform.
