Passing a date from a form to a form part where the datasets are not the same.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by cauditor

I have a form where the user enters a  date into a variable _reporthrudate .  This form has a form part that uses a different dataset but the dataset needs to calculate based on the _reportthru date that the user entered in the main form.   How do I pass the date entered by the user in the main form to the form part form so that my calculations as for the same periods.   The forms do not use the same dataset.

Thanks .

    You have many ways. For example, if the value is in a datasource, you can pass to the other form and read it from there (what kind of datasource is used by the target for is irrelevant). If you have it in a variable only, you can save it to an object and pass it to the other form through Args.parmObject(). Or the target form can get a reference to the caller form (element.args().caller()) and call its method to get the value. And so on.
