Hi,

I have trouble with this:

I would like dynamically change dataGroup on group control in my form.

I have this in active method on my main datasource

public int active()
{
int ret;

   ret = super();
if(TrvExpTrans_CostType.valueStr()=="Cost2")
     {
         DetailGroup.autoDataGroup(true);
         DetailGroup.dataGroup("Transaction_Travel4");

element.redraw();

info("test");

     }
    else
    {
            DetailGroup.autoDataGroup(true);
         DetailGroup.dataGroup("Transaction_Travel5");
         element.redraw();
    }

return ret;
}

Even if I choose row with costType "Cost2" on form in detail group I still see fields from fieldsgroup "Transaction_Travel5", but I see info test,

that I know that it is into if in good place.

Thanks for help.

But it is only example

I could not find a way to manipulate form data groups on-the-fly, only by adding the controls myself.

Also do not do it in active(), because you could be in a loop situation, unless you only get 1 record always in the buffer.

I have researched how to do this and made a post, I hope this helps:

If I'm not wrong with your options tthe object will be modified on the layer of the user.

You are wrong, it is "runtime". Refer to AOT > Forms > tutorial_Form_AddControl. To validate for tests sake, you could try to force an AOTsave() on the forms' treenode, and will see that the changes are not reflected back to the AOT.
