Thread: Cascading Grids

Cascading Grids Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have a situation where I have two grids on a form. dg1 one is the parent table and dg2 is the child with a one to many relationship. I want to display the one to many records in dg2 based on the record selected in dg1.

The catch is that I want dg2 to be editable in the grid - so I would like it bound. Is it possible to bind a 2nd grid like this - based on the selection in dg1 and still be able to edit it inline? Thanks

Got it. Just had to set the grid.sql property on row select. Refreshingly simple.

You're probably doing this or are aware, but the BindID property of the child grid most likely has to be set at runtime according to the selected value. The reason is that by default a grid's sql is something like "Select * from grid where bindid = :BindID" and it generally returns no records if you don't populate the bindid first.

A typical scenario has the bindid bound to the child table's foreign key and upon a child form loading it gets populated with the database value. By combining the grids on one form, you have to perform that bindid magic yourself. Certainly doable, it's even rather trivial to modify the .SQL property to include a proper bindid check at the end of the statement.
