Getting current datawindow object as dwObject

[Terry Hannon]

Hi DT,

Unfortunately, I am using the dwo argument quite a bit in my ItemChanged
event and also have a user event ue_PostItemChanged event that uses that
object as well.

Thanks for the responses.

Try this

DWObject ldwo
String ls_data
ls_data = dw_1.GetText()
ldwo.Name = dw_1.GetColumnName()
//You can set all the dwobject properties via describe function

dw_1.EVENT itemchanged(dw_1.Getrow(), ldwo,ls_data)

Couldn't you just do an AcceptText() to force the ItemChanged event?

There is an undocumented way of doing this, but judging by your description,
you are trying to do something that shouldn't be done anyway, even without
undocumented techniques...

Hi Philip,

What is the undocumented way?

All I am trying to do is, when you press CTRL-D on a date field it
automatically enters the current date. I cannot use SetText, which does
work the way I need, because SetText does not work when you use different
date formats, for example, I use dd/mm/yyyy for all of our European offices
and mm/dd/yyyy for the US, and for some reason the data looks correct when
you do a SetText but when you tab off of the field it does not evaluate it
correctly, when you use the dd/mm/yyyy format. Therefore, I need to use the
SetItem command, but that does not cause an ItemChanged event even if you
use AcceptText after the SetItem.

I am getting very frustrated with this, so if you know of any way to help me
with this, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

This part sounds like a much larger concern than setting up a DWObject.

Does this perform differently when entering a date ni dd/mm/yyyy format
from the keyboard rather than SetTexting it from code? (i.e. if someone
from your European offices needed to enter a date other than today)

If it works differently between SetText and actually typing it in, then I
think you have a bug to document and send off to sybase.

If it works the same then it's likely your format or your windows date
setup if you left the formatting to shortdate or something.

Try this:

DWObject ldwo_Test

//You can get dwobject use undocument function __Get_Attribute
ldwo_Test = dw_1.Object.__Get_Attribute('Write column name here',FALSE)
//Then,ldwo_Test is dwobject which the column ref to
//And,now,you can write your codes below
....
....
....
//Finally,you should DESTROY this dwobject
Destroy ldwo_Test

Though,this is not a good idea ,but ,it is useful
