Creating a calculated Data Type

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Im creating a calculated data type that will call all the different attribute and attribute type so that user can create a new unique attribute. Example is Length x Width. What my question is that how do I call the new table that I created to store the Calculated Instance Value. The Table will only have one EDT which is Source and I figure I would be using the EcoResValue::Value method to add it. Im trying to figure out how to accomplish this. If anyone knows how or where to look that would be great. 

Also the Design Im using a StringEdit Control for the Windown and adding a Compile button to do the calculation. These fields will be accessed when the user clicks the "Calculated" AttributeDataType.

    Rather confusing on what you are doing here but it sounds like you need to make an instance of your new table and then write the string edit control value to that new table once the user clicks the button.  Override the click method on the button:

    //in override click method
    {
    YourTable  yourTable;
    ;

    ttsbegin;
    select forupdate yourTable;
    yourTable.EcoResValue = stringEditControl;
    yourTable.update();
    ttscommit;

    }

    The reason it is giving me a problem is because the EcoResValue table; the table which all values are passed calls the different AttributeValue tables through a Method. What Im trying to do is be able to add my table to this method and have it show up as part of the data source. This way I can create Control in the Form im working on.
