How to dynamically change a datawindowchild within PBScript?

[Williams]

Hi all,

I want to change my datawindowchild name dynamically like you can
change the datawindow name (dw.dataobject = 'foobar'). For instance in
my DW I've got a DDDW called 'foo' and in my script this could be
changed to 'bar'.
Can anyone help?

Thank you

Its the same as changing a datawindow. Biut first you must get a reference the
the child datawindow.

Try this:
datawindow ldw_child

dw.GetChild("Column Name of DDDW", ldw_child)

ldw_child.DataIbject = "FooBar"
ldw_child.SetTransObject(SQLCA)
ldw_child.Retrieve()

I hope this helps

1) Getchild won't be able to get a refeence into a variable of type
datawindow
2) datawindowchild does NOT have a .dataobject property

dw_x.Object.column_name.dddw.name = 'bar'

You may need to also specify the datacolumn and displaycolumn
attributes. Finally, you may need to do a GetChild and retrieve the
drop down datawindow manually (depending on when you make this
change).

To change the "DataObject" use :
* DWName.Modify("Columnname.DDDW.Name = name of DataWindow used as dddw")

To change the "DisplayColumn" and "DataColumn" (if needed), use :
* DWName.Modify("Columnname.DDDW.DataColumn='name of data column'")
* DWName.Modify("Columnname.DDDW.DisplayColumn='name of display column'")
