passing info from 1 window to another at run time
February 04, 2022 04:13PM
WD26 I have a window (WIN_A) that uses OpenSister on a window (WIN_cool smiley. From that WIN_B I would like to fill in an EDT field in WIN_A. WD happily lets me code it as WIN_A.EDT_xx but at execution time it dies with unknown control.
I think I have done this is the past, but I don't remember how. Any ideas? Thank you

Hi,

there is PreviousWin()

MyString = PreviousWin() // retrieve the name of the calling window
{MyString + ".MyEditControl"} = ZUTGRUPPE.ZGR_NUM // a ComboBox Control named

and there are global variables

in Project Code

GLOBAL
MyString is ANSI string

All windows are able to access Mystring ...

Kind regards,

the only constraint to do win_A.EDT_xxx=value from win_B is that win_A is open at the time of execution of the code. This works without any problem in that case

So there must be an error in your code and you are not doing what you think you are doing, or not doing it at the time you think you are doing it.

There was no error in the code and the window was open as it was the sister window. Not sure but when I went back to try it again it worked as expected.

I guess the lesson here is that if something doesn't work that you thought should work then try it again.

Very strange.

I am trying to do something similar but would like to access a query of the previous window. I can access a table based on the query but not the query.

Any suggestions?

or,

you can give it as parameters in de receiving window

MDIOpen(Custumor_Detail, p_WinAlias, p_WinTitel, TBL_ID, p_name, True, Handle())

and you can place the child window above the calling window
OpenChild(WIN_midichildnr2,STC_NoName1)
WinStatus(WIN_midichildnr2, Above)
