Confirming Data Change on a Form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

I would like to know the regular code for confirming data change on a form before they are saved. As an example, I need to let the user to confirm the change if he change statement method to "Shift" from the default value "Date and time", If he hit Yes, continue the change, otherwise, revert the change. My code snippet shows like this:

public void modified()

{

   //[kl]

   if (statementTable.closingMethod != RetailClosingMethodType::DateTime)

   {

       if (box::yesNo("WARNING: you are attempting to calculate this statement using the 'Shift' closing method. Do you wish to proceed?", dialogButton::Yes, "Confirm changes")

       == dialogButton::No)

       {

           statementTable.closingMethod = statementTable.orig().closingMethod;

           return;

       }

   }

   super();

   statementTable_ds.refresh();

}

Can you comment on, or correct?

    Do you need to confirm data changes for all forms or for one specific scenario? If you prefer a confirmation for all forms you can use the confirmation options in the user options form. There you can define if you want to ask for confirmation before saving changes. You can choose this per type of data (main, parameters and so on).

    If you only need confirmation for some specific fields you could use the validate method on the data source on the form. If the question is answered with 'No' you return 'False' and your data is not changed. In this case you do not need to reset the value to the original value yourself. I suggest you make this change on the form to be absolutely sure that you can safely show a dialog box. If you would use validateField on the table itself you cannot be sure if there is a user interface available during the change.

    easiest way would be, implement all  you logic in forms datasource Write method and call the super() of Write method only when your condition is true.

    Like this

    public void write()

    {

       if (statementTable.closingMethod == RetailClosingMethodType::Shift)

      {      

          if (box::yesNo("WARNING: you are attempting to calculate this statement using the 'Shift' closing method.  Do you wish to proceed?", dialogButton::Yes, "Confirm changes")       == dialogButton::Yes)

          {

              super();

          }

      }

    }

    This logic

    please validate, hope this will work
