Get the datasource from caller MenuItemButton

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mehdi26 453

Hi all

I have a form with 3 Action MenuItemButtons. In that form I have 3 different datasources. 

The menuItems call the same class.

I have set the datasource property for all 3 menuItems. 

In the class main menu I have this code:

pdp = args.caller().dataSource(0);


The problem is that it always take the same datasource no matter which button is clicked.

    That's correct; your code asks for the first datasource of the form. Use this instead:

    args.record().dataSource()

    Hi Martin

    I did that. But it still takes the same datasource.

    It's the datasource bound to the menu item button. It seems that you set the DataSource property to a different datasource than you actually want.

    The datasources of the menuitems are set to their respective datasources. I don't know what can be wrong.

    How are you checking whether it's the right object? Can you please look at which table you get when you call args.record()?

    The table in args.record() is always the sourcetable of the first datasource. 

    I check it with this code:

    if(args.caller()!=null)
{
  fds = args.caller().dataSource();
  record = fds.getFirst(1);
  bIsMultiSelect=1;
}
if(record.RecId==0)
{
  if(args.record()!=null)
  record=args.record();
}

    All right, this is the problem. Your code is wrong; it will never call args.record() is the first data source has a record.

    Throw away everything except of record=args.record().
