edit form with extended / different query then i ist form (logic)

[WalkingAway 1]

I want to have list of documents in one form (simple query) and edit form for particular document in other form (extended query).

In simplier case - when the same query is used - I have no problems at all, everything is clear.

Goal is to have simple / light query for list (let say, common fields - id, name) and more extended version for edit form (almost every field included) potentially with master / detail and CachedUpdates.

 

Editing case itself I can imaging (how to implement), but what about adding? Especially if user cancel adding.

I mean how to link both queries as it was the same (actually both queries for the same document) - if editor is closed (and product was created), how to update list (not update, but refresh one row).

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi there!

As it turns out, my question is intertwined with this article from @Uwe Raabe

https://www.uweraabe.de/Blog/2020/10/04/tweaking-dfm-loading/

The example in this article does not take into account adding (editing only), and here is implemented absolutely what I'm looking for - in the main form / edit form is used different datasources.

So, if save the record, I just need only to call Refresh method for retrieving new  / updated values for only one record. At least it should work.

 

But still not understand, how to do it in case of adding new record (employee in that case) - if I put dsData.DataSet.Insert (for editing dsData.DataSet.Edit do the job), I can't call Refresh (or it has no sence probabaly), I even can't temporaraily Post (user probably can press "Cancel" later - no adding at all)

 

Thanks.
