get datasource where a button is located

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 793

Hello everyone,

I have a simple button on my form. I'd like to get a datasource which this button is clicked on. I need to get it in the method clicked(). Something like that

FormDataSource             recordDataSource = args.caller().dataSource();

but this snippet from above we only do with menuitembutton where datasource property is also pointed out. So this is not suitable for me.

Is there anything similar but for simple button?

    If you want to access datasource at the moment you click the button, you are already on the form and you can simply access it with datasourceName_ds. I do not understand why you are trying to get it from caller.

    Is there a different situation, can you open your request a little more?
