Intereaction of Form and DBDataSource in FIND mode

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I am troubled by the way SBO manages DBDataSources depending on the form mode.

In ADD and UPDATE modes any chages to non-matrix items are immediately reflected in the DBDataSource, while in FIND mode that does not happen.

Is this correct? Can I have the data from the form recorder in the DBDataSource in FIND mode?

Thanks in advance,

Anton

Anton,

Thinks about it. If the form is in Find Mode you have no offset value, so you cannot access any data (in the DBDataSource. You can always read the value property of an form item).

Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve?

Hello, Vitor, and thank you for the reply.

As I said, I am using an SBO form with DBDataSources, but it is not an SBO Used Defined Object. I tried to implement search. Looks like I'll have to switch to manually managed form modes so I can read data from the DBDataSource.

Anton,

Yes, Find Mode works only when you have a UDO connected to the form.

If the form has no UDO you really need to code your own find mode...
