the event is actually in the control, why not just trigger the event in the
control?

Is a strange case, the button has code embedded in the tag property
which call some functions in a number o classes but I must use a command
button in the window (users want this), so when I press the button I
have to simulate a click on the datawindow button (which will be invisible)

Yes, I know that is bizarre, messy and so on but I have no other possibility

I guess I have know idea how you can add code to a dw control button. It
does not have an event. If you click the button, where would the code
execute, or how does the code execute? If you have stuff in the tag, you can
grab that information using dot notation or describe. I thin you can even
evaluate the information to get it to execute. What I don't understand is
how the click of a dw button could execute anything other then the event on
the datawindow control. Now if you have a case statement in this event and
need to know which button was click you need to load some variables before
triggering the event.

Hi G;

The trick for sending and receiving the button events is that the
pointer "dwo" will not be valid from outside the DW Control. Sooo - Here is
what I do ...

Might I suggest the following:

1) Send DW Control a "ButtonClicked" event ...

DWObject lo_dwo
Long ll_row = 1
Long ll_rc = 0
Message.StringParm = "cb_chris"
dc.event buttonclicked (ll_row, ll_rc, lo_dwo)

2) Process the BC Event ...

String ls_name
IF IsValid (dwo) = TRUE THEN
ls_name = String (dwo.Name)
else
ls_name = Message.StringParm
END IF
MessageBox ("DWO", "You pressed CB - " + ls_name)


HTH

Regards ... Chris

This might work:

dwobject ldwco

ldwco = dw_1.object.__get_attribute("cb_yourbutton", false)
dw_1.event buttonclicked (ll_row, ll_rc, ldwco)

It would be better OO to refactor and create a single method which gets
called both from the button clicked and buttonclicked events.

What a handy function. We should request an enhancement to make it
documented and supported.

Can't you get a pointer to an object using simple dot notation?
