get data from edit method in form extension

Posted on by CU31101249-0

I created an extension to the PriceDiscAdmSearch Form. It's a checkbox. it is an edit method not bound to a datasource or table so it is a form method.

For the PriceDiscAdmSearch class I created an extension as well and added a parmMethod. This is called from the Formextension closeOK - Method (like the standard is doing it)

the standard field are working fine but the value in the class set by is always false even when I set it to true.

Any ideas where this issue comes from and how to solve it?

You can't expect us to find a bug in code that we're never seen or where you're checking the value.

Instead, use the the debugger to see where thing go wrong. For example, check if you're correctly passing the value in closeOK(). It'll tell you whether you need to look for a bug in the logic before this assignment, or this part works and you need to look at later stages.

Hi Cu31101249-0, i would need more information about your problem cause it isnt clear:

- is the parmMethod you say a new method or are you extending the standard method ?

- what is this method doing in the code?

- etc

get data from edit method in form extension

Here the code from Form extension and class extension with the edit method and where I want to use it

[ExtensionOf(formStr(PriceDiscAdmSearch))] final class PriceDiscAdmSearchForm_SWPCUSMODEL_Extension { public boolean cemSkipNonEmptyDates; //BP Deviation Documented edit boolean cemSkipNonemptyDates( boolean _set, boolean _cemSkipNonEmptyDates ) { if (_set) { cemSkipNonEmptyDates = _cemSkipNonEmptyDates; } return cemSkipNonEmptyDates; } public void closeOk() { priceDiscAdmSearch.parmSkipNonEmptyDates(cemSkipNonEmptyDates); //SEEMS TO RUN MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS FALSE EVEN IF SET TO TRUE ON THE LAST RUNS next closeOk(); } }

[ExtensionOf(classStr(PriceDiscAdmSearch))] final class PriceDiscAdmSearch_SWPCUSMODEL_Extension { private boolean skipNonEmptytoDates; public boolean parmSkipNonEmptyDates(boolean _skipNonEmptytoDates = skipNonEmptytoDates) { skipNonEmptytoDates = _skipNonEmptytoDates; return skipNonEmptytoDates; } void run() { PriceDiscAdmTrans priceDiscAdmTransIns; if(this.parmSkipNonEmptyDates(skipNonEmptytoDates)) //HERE THE VALUE IS ALWAYS FALSE EVEN IF SET TRUE ON FORM { do some code } next run(); }

Maybe you have to change the next run() line to earlier position? Before "if"

When you say "the value", do you mean cemSkipNonEmptyDates variable in PriceDiscAdmSearch form? If so, we can completely ignore PriceDiscAdmSearch class. It's expected that skipNonEmptytoDates is always false if you never set it to true.

In PriceDiscAdmSearch form, was the value ever set to true? Debug cemSkipNonemptyDates() to verify that it's called and it sets cemSkipNonEmptyDates to true. If it does, the value must be changed back to false by some other code.

Also, please tell us more about what you mean by "seems to run multiple times". Are you saying that closeOK() is called multiple times? That sounds strange. Again, the debugger can tell you more about what happened - watch out for the stack trace to understand where the method was called from.

Hi Martin

The value is set to true on the form where the edit method is attached which (didn't make a screenshot).

I debugged the code a hundred times.

It is true. The code is called so many times (actually I do not know why because this is a bis mysteria to me.) in the first run it is still true and then it changes to false

You're saying that the value is true, but not value of which variable, where and when. So it says very little.

Please tell us whether cemSkipNonEmptyDates variable is true in closeOK() when you're passing it to parmSkipNonEmptyDates(). It it is, then what you're talking about in the comment at that line (claiming that IS FALSE)?

as mentioned in my comments many times the code is called many times (seems to be normal in the extensions) in the first call it is true but turns into false in the other calls of the COC

the system forgets about the value during the execution

No, it's not normal that closeOk() is called many times. If you're talking cemSkipNonemptyDates() method, then it's true it may be called many times, but it's not the code I'm talking about.

If it's really closeOk() that is called many times, please follow my previous advice to find what code is making these calls.

For reference, this is your code and your comment in question:

public void closeOk() { priceDiscAdmSearch.parmSkipNonEmptyDates(cemSkipNonEmptyDates); //SEEMS TO RUN MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS FALSE EVEN IF SET TO TRUE ON THE LAST RUNS next closeOk(); }

and I'm asking about the value of cemSkipNonEmptyDates variable.
