updating calculation commando?

Classic Servoy
1

Is there a method to update a calculation?
I have the following situation: I have a record and a calculation that shows in which category the record is stored it returns the full path to the root directory like this:

Cat1 >> sub1 >> subsub1

But when a person changes the category where the record is in, the calc field doesn’t change, but just after a while (not sure what time).

Is it possible to give a commando to recalculate the field?

you can try databaseManager.saveData(), that will force a save.
or you can use databaseManager.recalculate()…

I tried that, now the field is updated, but still shows the old value…

I have this:

controller.saveData()
databaseManager.recalculat(forms.rss_ican_characteristics_basic.foundset);

but it only shows the right value when I first select another record and go back.

also tried application.updateUI(); but that didn’t work

saveData should really be enough!

5

it does update the field, but doesn’t show it directly on screen, only when you switch records…

6

try setting the calculation to null…

myCalc = null

thanks, that works… :)

thanks for the quick replies

myCalc = null

Some undocumented feature to get the field updated on the form?

I’m also a bit confused about this one… :?
what is the use to set a calculation to null??

In which version of Servoy are you experiencing the calc not updating?

In Servoy 3.5 there were a couple of improvements to automatic calc updating.

Calcs that are displayed on the screen should automatically update, without tricks.

I use:

Servoy Developer
Version R2 2.2.7-build 339
Java version 1.5.0_07-87 (Mac OS X)

ok, most likely, an upgrade to Servoy 3.5 would solve your updating issues.
