How to set value to an unbound Dimension entry control through code or using a display method?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by JayVee13 100

I need to add an unbound dimension entry control to a form.

Lets say my form data source is TableA and if TableA has a one to one relationship with TableB and TableB has one to one relationship with TableC. On TableC I had a DefaultDimension field. I need to show this corresponding Dimesion value for each record of TableA. So I am adding a new dimension entry control and trying to set the value for it on datasource active method, but I don't see a method to actually set the value. Also I don't see any property on the control to accept a display method.

Can anyone suggest me on this, Thanks in advance.

    I was unable to find any way how this can be achieved, so I added a temp table with Default Dimension field to the form and used this field as data field property to the dimension control and has set the value to the field in form init

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. The above thread refers to a bound control, but in my case it is an unbound control and I don't see any method in the control to set the value through code.
