Hi,

i would like to ask if how to get the date value in another form without using clicked method?

Form A: I need to get the fromDate value only.

Assettrans Form:

7633.Untitled1.png

I will use the init form and us the "fromDate" in Form A as part of the condition to hide a record if transdate<fromDate. Can anyone help me what method to use? thank you.

Hi Ivan,

Can you elaborate more about your requirement? Why do you prefer to not use clicked method to pass the args.

Is the second form opened from a button on the first form (form A)?

The form A:

the value from "FromDate field is the only thing I need to get. on the grid table of the form when I right click AssetID I click on view Details. then FixedAssetForm will show then I click on ValueModel button then ValueModelsform(assetbook) will open then when I click on transaction tab Form B(Assettrans Form) will open

Form B is the asset transaction where I can hide the record based from Assettrans.TransDate<fromDate. then it will hide records.

is this possible?

Hi SII1MNL,

try to get the FromDate value by using the Record reference (ex: custName, Voucher Number, etc..)available in the FormA, while opening FormB. Write the code in Form init method to retrive the date.

You always can call a method from first form.

In the first form create a method to return fromDate

Ex:

public FromDate getFromDate()
{
return fromDate;

}

in the second form create a parm method from caller object

Ex:

//Of course you need to declarate a callerObject on your classDeclaration

public Object parmCallerObject(Object _callerObject = callerObject)
{
if (!prmisDefault(_callerObject))
{
callerObject = _callerObject;
}

return callerObject;
}

on init method

this.parmCallerObject(element.args().caller());

and now you be able to call a method from first form

private void updateDesign()
{
if (formHasMethod(callerObject.owner(), "getFromDate"))

{
FromDate = callerObject.owner().getFromDate();

}
}

Hi Ivan,

Approach proposed by Javier Biesa could help you. So from form B you can get access to form A and get date from there, than from form C you can get access to B and so on...

It does not really meter how much form you have in the chain 3 or 23 approach still the same.

As I say you could call a method from form A (for example getFromDate); my point is that you can call getFromDate on init method from forms B and C and set as a filter, but If you later change value on form A of course change will not be reflected on opened forms.
