Thread: Invoke an active form from a button.....

Invoke an active form from a button..... Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have a button that I want to use to open an active form. The data form has a grid that will have add, edit, and delete options. I tried opening the form with Application.BasicFunctions.DoInvoke "Form", "System:TR_CourseCatalog" and it doesn't open. I re-created the same form using a managed form and I can get it to function correctly. I also tried opening the dataform using an active script on the OnClick event for the button and it also fails. Is there anyway of opening a data form on the OnClick event? Our SLX version is 6.2.6. I would rather not use a managed form since there is going to be so much scripting to do and the grid on this form will have right click options that will open another form that will have edit boxes plus another grid on the lower half of the screen. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

If this is a data bound form you cannot invoke it using DoInvoke. You must use ShowViewForRecord instead (a data bound form needs to be given context).

You can read more about ShowViewForRecord here: http://www.slxdeveloper.com/page.aspx?action=viewarticle&articleid=48
