Data link property?
Posted: 09 Nov 07 8:22 AM

Does anyone know of a way that I can determine the Data link of a control? I need to be able to see which Table/Column a control is linked to in order to validate it.  |

| The LINKID property should have the return of the Lookup's LookupID property returned to it.....if that is in fact a RowID for the table being looked up then you can run a SQL statement to determine if that is actually a valid selection...... |

Thanks for the reply, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. Further investigations and searching the forums have thrown up the fact that the active controls do not have a property which reproduces the Legacy DataPath property. I'm attempting to write a simple rules engine that uses Regular Expressions to validate data in a control by looking up the rule for the column the control is bound to.
I have a feeling I'll need to make a request to Sage on this one...  |

| That's correct. You have to explicity name the linkid in a script.....can't you have the scripter call your data validater OnPopupReturn? |

I could, but that then negates what I'm really trying to achieve. I'd like to be able to iterate a control collection, and validate the fields by looking up the relevant Regular Expression in a table. Without the data link value being visible, it looks like I'll have to check every control in code.  |
