Popup Window

Posted on Aug 13, 2016 at 09:49 PM 125 Views

I have a popup window in an MDI application that displays a list of training classes. The user chooses one by double clicking the row in the popup. The popup uses embedded SQL to insert that row from the training table into a table for a particular user. Works fine. But after the insert and either before or after I close the popup window I would like to do a new retrieve for the data window which received the insert. How does one call a popup, choose a selection, have it inserted into a table, close the popup, and then refresh the data window for the user so they can see it is there? Where would this last retrieve statement go?

    If you used a Response window, it could go after the Open.

      Yes, it might need to be though.

      Your recommendation to use the CloseWithReturn is an excellent suggestion following Roland's "Response" window suggestion.

      However, this may totally change the workings of the application if the Pop-up (or even a child) window is being used as a floating toolbar or interactive work area. Changing any window to a type Response makes the entire application Modal. This could change the whole design flow by blocking interactive workings with other object classes or interfere with multithreading activities. All these things should be considered before arbitrarily changing a window's typing.

      Just saying. 😉
