Determine a control's data binding at runtime... Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Does anyone know of a method to access a control's data binding at runtime through code in v7? So what I'm after is "(ACCOUNT:ACCOUNT)" not "Abbott Ltd."

Thanks!

I don't believe there is anyway to access that info at runtime.

If you want to know what record the control is bound to you can read the Bindid.

What is it you are trying to do?

Not quite, what I need is the name of the field in the SalesLogix DB that a control is bound to. Apparently this was possible in legacy versions of SLX by using the GetPropertyOf("myObject","DataPath") method, but as far as I can tell this is not possible in v7.

Thanks for your insight Frank and Ryan.

NOT Possible in Activex Forms.. since v6.0 - years ago!

FYI.. The technical direction of Sage SalesLogix is to "abstract" and move toward working at a "meta data" level to reduce the impact of customization(s) vrs OOTB. Also, this provides for the way to support the ".. write once.. deploy many.." approach. IN v7.2 web this is very obvious.

Well if you script this stuff you can set and keep track of the BIND FIELD being used.....

globalBINDFIELD = "ACCOUNT"
globalBINDTABLE = "ACCOUNT"
globalBINDID = application.basicfunctions.currentAccountID

SQL = "SELECT A1.ACCOUNT, A1.ACCOUNT, A2.STATE A2_STATE, A3.LASTNAME A3_LASTNAME FROM ACCOUNT A1 INNER JOIN ADDRESS A2 ON a1.ADDRESSID = A2.ADDRESSID" LEFT OUTER JOIN A1.ACCOUNTID = A3.ACCOUNTID "
SQL = SQL & " WHERE A1." & globalBINDFIELD & " = " '" & globalBINDID & "' "

GRID.BINDID = globalBINDID
grid.SQL = SQL
Grid.REFRESH

kinds of stuff
