How to Cancel a foundset.find()? Fixed

Classic Servoy

Hi folks - need a way to cancel a find operation without loading all the records or doings a serch.

Here’s the context:

User does a find and search, then accidentally clicks the find button again but realises and wants to get back to the currently filtered set of records without alteration.

I expected something like foundset.find() = false to get back to my form in normal view mode (as opposed to find mode).

Clues would be very welcome :D

EDIT: Got it - answer was in the question!!! Just rerun search with false, false as arguments. Thanks for looking.

If a user inputs any criterea before they cancel the find, then that will extend the foundset. As far as I can tell, the best way to provide this functionality is to store the foundset when you start the find…

this.lastFoundSet = foundset.duplicateFoundSet();

… and then restore it when you cancel …

foundset.clear();
controller.search();
controller.loadRecords(this.lastFoundSet);

Correct Hugh - and nice solution thanks.
