Thread: Force the Form Modified Attribute

Force the Form Modified Attribute Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have a custom Opportunity tab in SalesLogix 6.2.6 that contains several text boxes that are not directly bound to a column in the database. The values that appear in the text boxes are read from a table that has a 1:Many relationship with the opportunity table and custom code has been written to read and update the appropriate records in the database. When a user changes the values in one of these textboxes, the Save button in the toolbar does not activate and the Form OnValidate function is not called. This seems to be related to the Modified attribute of the Form (I don't have the code in front of me right now, but I believe its called Modified or Changed or some other synonym). Is there any way to programmatically force the Form's Modified attribute to True or in some other way cause the Save button to activate and the OnValidate function to execute? Thanks.

This seems to work as a workaround:

Create a boolean field in your Opportunity table (or a 1-to-1 off of opportunity), and drop a checkbox on your form bound to that field. Make the checkbox invisible, and add code to the whenchange event of any textboxes to change the state of the checkbox whenever their value changes. Since the control is bound, the Save button should activate, and saving should launch the onvalidate event of the form.

I'm sure there is probably a "correct" way to do this, but this should work as well.
