Refresh parent form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Pradeep00 190

Hi

My parent form is Projtable. I have created a extension of it. The form extension contains a button and after button click I open a newly created form. 

New created form insert data into psaprojschedrole table. After I close this form the grid inside "project team & scheduling" tab should refresh with new data. This is not working.

I have override the canClose method of child form and written following code 

Option1:

Formrun = element.args().Caller() ;

#Task

Formrun.task(#taskF5);

Option 2:

Refreshed the datasource of parent form

FormDS.research(true);

Both the options are not working.

    You should call two methods of the caller data source:

    FormDS.refresh();

    FormDS.research(true);

    But, nowadays you can simply set property "Auto Refresh Data" to Yes in the menu item button.

    By the way, why did you put your code in canClose method? That method should be used to determine if the form can be closed. You should use "closed" or "closedOk" instead. This is important to keep your code understandable for future developers (including yourself).

    Sometimes you get another object in between forms, like a class of something.

    Make sure your caller is ProjectTable form.

    Refresh the caller form from close or closed method.

    Try this code from my blog post:

    public

    void close()

       {

           super();

           FormRun formRun = element.args().caller();

           if(formRun)

           {

               #Task

               formRun.task(#taskRefresh);            

           }

       }
