Put a filter on data from a view

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi Guys

Might be a silly question, but i will ask anyway. :-)

I am modifying the form SalesPriceActual such the history of a customers purchases can be viewed on a new tabpage. To grab the data i have created a view, picking up data from Custinvoicetrans, joining Custinvoicejour to get the header information.

A have a grid on the new tabpage, datasource= the view i created.

What I am desperately trying to achieve is to filter the view such it only shows invoicelines from the customer I am on on tab one (overview).

I have looked on the net, but have not been able to find anything covering my requirement. 

Any help and/or hints will be much appreciated.

    You didn't answer my question, but your code suggests that you use a kind of link (such as Delayed), therefore the right solution would be to add a dynalink.

    Please look at Adding a view as a secondary datasource on a form, where we discussed adding a link, and replace addLink() with addDynalink().

    *SOLVED*

    This line in method "enter" on the tabpage:

       Datasource_ds.filter( fieldnum(datasource,invoiceaccount),CusttableDS.AccountNum);

    Hi Martin

    Thanks for answer.

    I am a complete autodidact (self-trained) developer. Any chance you could guide me in more details?

    How to set a link? Anything to put in the filter method?

    Thanks for answer. The two tables CustInvoiceJour and CustInvoiceTrans is already in the list of datasources.

    When the second tabpage is activated, i need it to only show (filter) the invoices issued to the customer i am standing on in tab 1.

    I think if @palle adds one more table CustInvoiceJour inside form, it can be achieved without making any relationships. Because CustInvoiceTrans  already has relationship to CustInvoiceJour. Further CustInvoiceJour has relationship with CustTable.

    Aha, you expect to filter automatically, but you don't have any relation. You have to explicitly add a link or dynalink.

    What kind of join or link do you between your datasources?

    OK, I will try.

    A form with two tabpages.

    First show a list of all customers. (just first to last, no filter, no nothing)

    Second show all CustInvoiceTrans. The datasource is a View, joining CustInvoiceTrans and CustInvoiceJour on the Invoiceaccount field. Activating the tabpage shows all records from all customers.

    I want to ONLY show CustInvoicetrans records from the customer that was active when i clicked the second tabpage.

    What code am I to add where (what method)?

    Can you explain your problem, please? In general, you can filter views in the same way as tables.
