    Then, try with this x++ code on button clicked event

     

    void clicked()

    {

        void clearFormControls(Object o)

        {

            FormBuildControl    formBuildControl;

            FormStringControl   formStringControl;

            FormInt64Control    formInt64Control ;

            FormIntControl      formIntControl ;

            FormRealControl     formRealControl;

            FormTimeControl     formTimeControl;

            FormCheckBoxControl formCheckBoxControl;

            FormDateControl     formDateControl;

            Date                emptyDate;

            int                 i;

            ;

     

            for (i=1;i<=o.controlCount(); i++)

            {

                formBuildControl = o.controlNum(i);

                                              

                switch (ClassId2Name(classIdGet( element.control(formBuildControl.id()))))

                {

                    case 'FormStringControl':

                        formStringControl = element.control(formBuildControl.id());

                        formStringControl.text('');

                        break;

                    case 'FormIntControl':

                        formIntControl = element.control(formBuildControl.id());

                        formIntControl.value(0);

                        break;

                    case 'FormInt64Control':

                        formInt64Control = element.control(formBuildControl.id());

                        formInt64Control.value(0);

                        break;

                    case 'FormRealControl':

                        formRealControl = element.control(formBuildControl.id());

                        formRealControl.realValue(0);

                        break;

                    case 'FormTimeControl':

                        formTimeControl = element.control(formBuildControl.id());

                        formTimeControl.value(0);

                        break;

                    case 'FormCheckBoxControl':

                        formCheckBoxControl = element.control(formBuildControl.id());

                        formCheckBoxControl.value(0);

                        break;

                    case 'FormDateControl':

                        formDateControl = element.control(formBuildControl.id());

                        formDateControl.dateValue(emptyDate);

                        break;

                }

     

                if (formBuildControl.isContainer())

                    clearFormControls(formBuildControl);

            }

        }

        ;

     

        super();

        clearFormControls(form.design());

    }

    HI,

    Thanks for reply.

    This code is working fine but a little issue is there this code clear my buffer also which i used to store temporary values. So can i use any other method to clear only fields.

    Try this x++ code on button clicked event

    void clicked()
    {
        Args args;
        FormRun formRun;
        ;

        super();

        args = new Args();
        args.object(form);
        formRun = new FormRun(Args);
        formRun.run();
        formRun.detach();

        element.close();
    }

    basically it is initiating a new instance of form giving impression all fields got cleared right away
