Change the Textbox value dynamically

Hi

I have a textbox (Textbox1)

And 2 date fields (DateFrom and DateTo)

If the datefrom and dateTo is a valid date, the textbox's value must be changed. The value format is: "some name" + " F ".

If the dateFrom and dateTo is a valid date the "F" must be visible and and if its not valid, it shouldn't be visible.

 

Any suggestion where I can put in the code? and maybe how to code this?

 

thanks.

    Are your controls bound to a datasource?

    yes they are.

    In that case, don't try to work with form controls directly - work with datasource fields. If you logic is specific to one particular form, trigger it from the datasource node on your form. If it makes sense for the table regardless in which form it's used, implement it on the table itself.

    One approach is setting the text immediately after changing date (before saving the record), another way it doing it on saving.

    Decide which way you want to go and then we can discuss details.

    The text must be set immediately. Cause when I set the 2 dates, then the text should be set.

    Then your trigger will be either modified() methods on datasource fields, or modifiedField() method on the table, depending on which approach you choose.

    I put this in modified() for my dateTo field. But it doesnt get triggered when I change the date.

     if(SalesAgreementHeader.NCFIndicatorTo >= today())
    {
        if(!strScan(SalesAgreementHeader.NCCustomerDBName," F ",1,strLen(SalesAgreementHeader.NCCustomerDBName)))
        {
           SalesAgreementHeader.NCCustomerDBName =  SalesAgreementHeader.NCCustomerDBName + " F ";
        }
        
    }

    How did you verify that the method isn't get called? Don't you have modified() on the control itself without calling super()?

    i tried to set a breakpoint inside the the method. And it doesn't catch the breakpoint.

    I have the modified method with super(). Should I remove the super() call?
