Macros in Footer Menu?

Grid

Then click() should be called when the selected row changes.

Hi Hank,

Yes, I noticed the same thing after posting and I've logged a ticket for it - the click doesn't seem to fire if you click on the currently selected row.

Note: the parentdatachanged is called before the new child is selected, so it will pick up the value of the previous parent's child (previous customer's order in this case). You could use the parentdatachanged to blank the menu and prompt the user to click on a row from the footercaption.

Regards,

Yvonne

Update:
The click() firing has been confirmed as expected behaviour - it shouldn't fire if you are clicking within the same row.

Hi Barry,

It does, but Hank needs an event that fires for a child grid as he moves through the parents. Parentdatachanged() fires before the new child is selected, so can't be used to pick up the child value (first row in child grid).

Thanks,

Yvonne

This was the "change" put in for cory who did not want rows to be selected... This has had a side effect of there being no current row highlighted.

Is dataChanged not fired on the child after it has its related records refreshed when the parent changes?

[yvonne.milne]

Hi Yvonne,

...
Is my understanding of the Change delegate correct, that it fires when the record pointer for that section changes? If so, it does not appear to be happening. If not, when does it fire?

thanks,

Hank

Hi Hank,

The 'Change' (xxx_changed()) delegate is called when a record is modified - after 'After Data Update' (xxx_afterupdate()).

The 'After Data Changed' (xxx_datachanged()) delegate is called on Form Sections after the data is read - as you move through the records.

Yvonne

Thats correct behavior.

This allows you to alter what appears in the child. It is typically used with Virtual Tables to relate SQL data sources with requery().

dataChanged doesn't appear to be firing on Grids at all.

Sure, blame me for things not working.

Haha not at all.
