[Openroad-users] Accessing dynamically created fields

[Chris Wallace]

James,

 

Can we take a step back.  Why are you mimicking a Tablefield?  The
problem you currently have with the work-around you are trying, but
what's the problem with Tablefields that has caused you to try this
work-around?

Subject: [Openroad-users] Accessing dynamically created fields

 

Hi all,

 

I am using OR4.1SP3.

 

I have a StackField object which has a datatype of a userclass.  I have
then created several instances of this StackField and grouped them into
a second StackField then grouped this into a ViewPort.  In effect, I
have mimmicked a TableField.  I am then dynamically appending instances
of the first StackField to the second StackField by duplicating the
first instance at runtime.  I hope you are following me so far.  The
instances are then named r001, r002, ... r00n.

 

I can reference the instances by using either:

    FieldPtr =
CurFrame.TopForm.FieldByFullName(FullName='r'+RIGHT('000'+VARCHAR(i),3))
), or;

    ExprPtr =
CurFrame.Scope.CreateDynExpr(String='r'+RIGHT('000'+VARCHAR(i),3))).

 

The problem I have, is that CreateDynExpr only works for the instances
of the StackField that were statically created on the form.  The
dynamically created instances return a NULL reference.  FieldByFullName
works for the dynamically created instances.  I want to set the
instances to a row in an array by using:

    ExprPtr =
CurFrame.Scope.CreateDynExpr(String='r'+RIGHT('000'+VARCHAR(i),3)));

    ExprPtr.SetValue(Value = a[i]);

 

I would have thought that CreateDynExpr should work for dynamically
created instances as well.  Can anyone see another way to do this?

 

Thanks,

James
