namedFoundSet in SolutionModel

[irenem]

FormA has tab panel1 that contains form1 and tab panel 2 that contains form 2. All forms have the same data source.
I want form1 and form2 both with separate found sets.

Code: Select all

var formCal1 = solutionModel.newForm('cal1', 'coperta', 'actions', null, true, 240, 35);
   var headerCal1 = formCal1.newHeaderPart(20)
   formCal1.navigator = SM_DEFAULTS.NONE;
   formCal1.scrollbars = SM_SCROLLBAR.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER|SM_SCROLLBAR.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER;
   formCal1.borderType = 'EmptyBorder,0,0,0,0'
   formCal1.styleName = 'coperta';
   formCal1.styleClass = 'toolbar';
   formCal1.transparent = true;
   formCal1.view = JSForm.LIST_VIEW

   formCal1.onLoad = formCal1.newFormMethod('function onShow() {var frm = currentcontroller.getName();forms["cal1"].controller.loadAllRecords();var query = "SELECT usr_id FROM users WHERE usr_cal_user =1";var dataset = databaseManager.getDataSetByQuery(currentcontroller.getServerName(), query, null, 100); var vdataset = dataset; var row = new Array();forms["cal1"].controller.find(); var rangeX = "#" + globals.g_search_day_1 + "|dd-MM-yyyy"; var first = vdataset.getValue(1, 1); forms["cal1"].act_user_id = first; forms["cal1"].act_date_begin = rangeX; forms["cal1"].act_type = "2"; for(var i = 2 ; i <= dataset.getMaxRowIndex() ; i++ ){row[i] = vdataset.getValue(i, 1); forms["cal1"].controller.newRecord(); forms["cal1"].act_user_id = row[i]; forms["cal1"].act_date_begin = rangeX; forms["cal1"].act_type = "2";}forms["cal1"].controller.search();}')   

   var myFoundSet1 = forms['cal1'].foundset;
   //formCal1.namedFoundSet = myFoundSet1;

As soon as I call "formCal1.namedFoundSet = myFoundSet1;" it comes with a "Stale form error"

Thanks for any help

I think that the namedFoundSet property only tells if the foundset is separate, not what foundset is used in the form. Did you try formCal1.namedFoundSet = "separate"?

Hello Victor,

Did you try formCal1.namedFoundSet = "separate"?

Yes I've tried that, but it doesn't work.

According the sample that comes with the method it is necessary to define a found set first an then give the name to the property.

Code: Select all

var firstForm = solutionModel.newForm('newForm1', 'myServer', 'myTable', null, true, 800, 600);
   var secondForm = solutionModel.newForm('newForm2', 'myServer', 'myTable', null, true, 800, 600);
   forms['newForm2'].controller.find()
   forms['newForm2'].columnTextDataProvider = '=aSearchValue';
   forms['newForm2'].controller.search()
   var myFoundSet = forms['newForm2'].foundset
   firstForm.namedFoundSet = myFoundSet;   

The mistake must be somewhere else... no idea where

Seeing the wiki http://wiki.servoy.com/display/public/DOCS/JSForm#JSForm-namedFoundSet :

Property that tells the form to use a named foundset instead of the default foundset.
When "separate" as special value is specified the form will always create a copy of assigned foundset and therefor become separated from other foundsets

and in the property tooltip info in the developer:

String namedFoundSet Property that tells the form to use a named foundset instead of the default foundset. Currently only "separate" can be specified as value, meaning that the form will use a separate foundset.

I think that the sample is wrong... Can any Servoyan confirm this?

This is right for a physical form but my forms are designed with the SolutionModel.

If I try formCal1.namedFoundSet = "separate" it returns the same "Stale form" error and if I try separate without quotes it complains that separate is not defined.

I wish it were just so simple.

That's because you call ' var myFoundSet1 = forms['cal1'].foundset;'
Asking for the foundset of a form simply loads the form in memory.
After that you're trying to alter the form again by setting the 'namedFoundset' property.

As for the namedFoundset property: as far as I know the solutionModel can not handle any other settings than the normal form properties.

Hello Marc,

Thanks for the explanation.

But how can I tell to the form to use a different found set If I have made it with the SolutionModel?
With the physical Form you just put "separate in the property an the trick is done. But the Solution Model doesn't allow that.

[mboegem]

based on a designtime form I'd say: jsForm.namedFoundSet = 'separate' should do the job.
after that you can load just any foundset you want, without this forms foundset will alter another foundset based on the same table.

I wish.... as I already wrote:

If I try formCal1.namedFoundSet = "separate" it returns the same "Stale form" error and if I try separate without quotes it complains that separate is not defined.

I wish it were just so simple.

Thats why I don't get it, in the physical forms is so simple... may be a bug?

[mboegem]

the "Stale form" error is thrown when you alter a form that's already in memory.

when you reference 'forms['justAnyFormName']' this form is being loaded into memory.
After that no alterations can be made to that form using the solutionModel as they will result in the "Stale form" error

So: move/delete the line where you reference 'forms['cal1'].foundset' (Based on your first post I'd say it has no use anymore) and you're set.

[irenem]

Yeah, I forgot that. Now it works

Thank you.
