Update 'parent' card field of PartList

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Filip Cremers 20

I have a Customer card with an embedded ListPart page of events the customer attended. 

These events have several editable boolean fields. (Checkboxes on the ListPart page)

For one of these fields I have the total of where it is true displayed in the Customer card through an integer field with FieldClass = Flowfield and a Calcformula = Count = (....)

This works nicely, but when I check or uncheck one of the boxes on the ListPart page, the field on the customer card is not updated, when I close the card and open it up again, the field is updated.

Is this in any way possible to have this happen on the fly?

What I have already tried and doesn't work:
UpdatePropagation : this not a valid poperty on a page with Pagetype = Card;

force a CalcField with the Onvalidate triiger as follows:

trigger OnValidate()
  var
    customer: Record Customer;
  begin
    customer.get(Rec.CustomerId);
    customer.CalcFields(BoolFieldName);
    // With or without the
    CurrPage.Update();
  end;
I tried putting this both in the table of the ListPart, as the ListPart Page itself.

Thanks in advance.

    Sorry,  I didn't realize you are using Web Client on NAV 2018.  Yes, solution will not work on the web client.

    Thank you for your suggestion, but I think this doesn't work in the Web Client.

    When I tried this code I got the error 'Automation' is not recognized as a valid type.

    Hi,

    To my knowledge this is not possible, sorry. Except for making some kind of timer on the header that refreshes every x seconds. But I will look forward to seeing if anyone else has ideas for this.

    PROCEDURE UpdateParentPage@1240060002();
    VAR
      WshShell@1240060000 : Automation "{F935DC20-1CF0-11D0-ADB9-00C04FD58A0B} 1.0:{72C24DD5-D70A-438B-8A42-98424B88AFB8}:'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell";
    BEGIN
      
      IF ISCLEAR(WshShell) THEN
        CREATE(WshShell,TRUE,TRUE);
      WshShell.SendKeys('{F5}');
      WshShell.SendKeys('{F5}');
      
    END;

    If UpdatePropagation is not working then try using the shell script like above
