different views for dataseq items

[Andrea Russo]

Hi,

I would like to use a gridedit widget to list instances of different
classes, with each object type having a different view. Could someone
please give me some suggestions on how to proceed?

TIA,
Andrea.

Are the classes unrelated or are they part of one class hierarchy?

Hi Leslie,

Right, sorry. I forgot to mention that they all have the same base
class.

It would be nice to make the gridedit more flexible to take
multiple types into account.

In any case we have two views: a table view and a form view.

The table view needs to have a number of columns equal for
every row, so there can't be much variation here.

You can select a matching form view for the drilldown
by specializing the appropriate GRIDEDIT methods.

Specify STANDARD-OBJECT (or your base class) as DATA-CLASS.

Thanks for this suggestions Leslie. I'll try this way.

Have a nice weekend,
Andrea.
