if you want to manipulate/ process records before closing forms, you need to override close method.

expand form, go to top methods node, right click it and override method close, write your logic before super();

Records are saved automatically - maybe you call your logic before the saving, or you have some other bug there. Unfortunately it's difficult to comment on code that you never showed.

It saved when you leave a record (closing a form may be one of many reasons for leaving a record), press a button or explicitly save the record.

And now, please be so kind and explain your problem.

Hi Gautam,

Then what exactly should trigger the "save" action for your user?

Normally it's "leaving the record" like Martin suggest that triggers the saving action. In other words, "closing the form" or "move to another record" will save that record.

If that's not what you want, please let us know the new criteria you wanted. And please tell us what problems you are having implementing the new criteria.

I mean explaining your implementation, not just repeating that "it's not saved". All waht I can say from your description is that your implementation is wrong, but it's impossible to say anything more specific. If you want any help, you'll have to do your part first.

Hi Martin,

I've been following this post and I think I understand what Gautam wants to say as I have the same question.
I am aware of the fact that the user saves the data in the data-source table when he moves to another field in his form.

However, when the user reaches the last field in his form and fills that field, it is unclear if the field in the data-source table will be saved when the close button is clicked.

Personally, I've overridden the clicked method of the button that closes the form with the

element.closeOk();

method added before the super() method.

The code in my clicked() method looks like this:

void clicked() { element.closeOk(); super(); }

I am not sure if the element.closeOk(); method should also save the last field filled in the form.

Thank you for your efforts to 'illuminate' us :)
