move/copy context a to context b

Former Member — Wed, 13 Jul 2005 15:59:00 GMT

hello everybody,

although i noticed some threads about this topic i didn't find the big answer yet.

In a view i have a contextNode which contains attributes. in the context menue i copy/pasted table1 and obtained table2. So now i have Node Table1, and Table2 (both with same attributes).

During runtime table1 is filled and later manipulated.

I need table2 to save the original table1-data. (i found a workaround for this, but i am definitly intereted in shifting context around)

Is there some way to do something like this:

<b>wdContext.nodeTable1 = wdContext.nodeTable2</b>

thanks for hints,

matthias

Hi,

Use WDCopyService.copyElements(nodea the source,nodeb the dest)

The attr names should be same and thier type similar

Hi,

Attribute names may not be same

Ex:

Data

--Node

Data_1

---Node1

WDCopyService.copyElements( wdContext.nodeData(),wdContext.nodeData_1());

Matthias, what kind of nodes do you have? Model or value? From where data is comming?

Hi Anilkumar Vippagunta and Bharatwaji,

thanks to both of you equally. As I can award 10 points only once, I shall deliver 10 to Anilkumars, as his note contains the very complete solution, 6 go to Bharatwaji.

regards,

Matthias
