Hi Techies,

I am working on one requirement where we are processing some logic and filling temp table by selecting some records on form.Once we click a button- a class behind will process logic on selected records and fills a temp table with output. I have created a new dialog form which has this temp table as data source, and calling this form by using below code.

DialogRunbase dialogParameter = Dialog::newFormnameRunbase(formStr(customDialogForm),this);

        dialogParameter.caption("Parameter form");
        dialogParameter = this.dialogInternal(dialogParameter);
        return dialogParameter;

This shows me a dialog with fields obviously with blank data. Now my question is how can I refresh this dialog form with latest temp table buffer. Possibly I need to use linkPhysicalTableInstance() to get the latest buffer, I am searching more.

Can anyone help me on this please?

Any response is appreciated!

Thanks Andre, Martin!

As said linkPhysicalTableInstance() worked. Below is the code.

DialogRunbase dialog; dialog = element.args().caller(); if (dialog && classIdGet(dialog.caller()) == classNum(callerClass)) { callerClassObject = dialog.caller(); dataSource.linkPhysicalTableInstance(callerClassObject.parmFillTmp()); }

Yes, linkPhysicalTableInstance() is the right method *if* the type of the table is TempDB.

If it's an InMemory table, you need setTmpData().

Nevertheless I wonder whether temporary table is the right choice. How will you pack the data to store for batch processing, for instance?

Hi Sangram,

You can create a button on the form which will create an instance of the class using x++ coding. Then you can also create a method on the class to pass the temporary table to a variable of the class.
