Finding Values from a form control Outside Forms

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Ashein 275

Hi, i was wondering if it is possible to get the values from my form controls. Through x++ code from my class or my table method ?

I am iterating through my form, and i want to get all the names and values. I got the names but not values, please help thanks.

    Hi Ashein,

    the FormStringControl for instance has a method named "valueStr".

    I assume you you got access to the FomControl-Object?

    Regards

    I have used ValueStr, Text but it all comes up empty

    definitely you can get value of controls, if you are able to get controls name

    But the challenging factor can be control types, as value can differ with control Types.

    Getting control names is easy because its just ContolName.Id()

    you can get values of majority of controls as under

    info("Value of control: "+any2str(element.control(formBuildControl.id()).valueStr()));

    further if you want to make it more sophisticated, you have identify control types an then write a switch statement to convert control value to display it appropriately

    Ah maybe it's the "text()" method? But the MSDN points on valueStr().

    I try to find an example...i'm sure i used this somewhere

    Edit:

    "valueStr()" works fine for me...you may check Sohaib Cheema hint too

    But is'nt this method only used in the form ? I am looking to get the value through my class.

    Ok so you don't have access to the form control object in your class?

    I have access to all my form object control, i just can't get the value even though i identified my object by using Fx. (_formControl is FormStringControl).

    hmm sounds strange.

    I tried this myself and it works for me. Do you pass the object on ""mouseUp"?

    I don't understand, pass "mouseUp" ? i am not in the form. I have created a class A, and through the class i am trying to get the values from my Form B.

    I try to understand whats the state of your object the time you pass it to your class. The form "B" is initialized the time you pass it to your class? Maybe the object is not initialized at the time you pass it.
