currentcontroller.getDataProviderValue when no records

Classic Servoy

Hi all,

Not sure whether this is a feature or a bug:

Scenario:
The user has one record selected and deletes it. No records are showing. The user clicks a button which runs a script trying to access a global variable.

I have found 2 ways of retrieving the value of a global variable in a script:

x = currentcontroller.getDataProviderValue(‘globals.varname’);

which fails when no records are showing, while

x = globals[‘varname’];

works fine.

Are there any reasons not to use the second syntax?

no second syntax is even a bit better and faster.
But the first syntax should work, i am checking now why it doesn’t
