programatically set the data for a look up Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Along with my lest thread, i have a similar problem. This time I want to programatically set the lookup for the account based on the contact that is selected.
I can get the accountid to save in the database but the account name does not appear in the lookup. Here is my code:

public static void lueFirmContact_OnChangeSetAccountStep( IJobContacts form, EventArgs args)
{
IContact firmContact = form.lueFirmContact.LookupResultValue as IContact;

IAccount firmAccount = firmContact.Account as IAccount;

form.lueFirmAccount.LookupResultValue = firmAccount;

form.lueFirmAccount.Text = firmAccount.AccountName;

IC_Opportunity_Ext oppExt = (form.CurrentEntity as IOpportunity).C_Opportunity_Ext;

oppExt.IndpndntAdjFirmAcctId = firmAccount.Id.ToString();

oppExt.Save();
}

Any ideas on how to get the account name to appear in the lookup lueFirmAccount?

Instead of trying to set the control, set the property in the entity. Instead of setting the lookup, on the change event of the contact lookup, do something like this in C# snippet:

Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IMyEntity myentity = this.BindingSource.Current as Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IMyEntity;
myentity.Account = (Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IContact)lookupContact.LookupResultValue;

After the postback the account lookup should show the bound value just fine. Does that make sense?
