Q : Why is 'append new record' canceld

[mierlp]

After the user appends a record i do a OnBeforePost check to see if all fields are filled.

 

I use this code (like in all my Delphi projects) :

 

if length(dmPortal.Gast.FieldbyName('LastName').asString) =0 then begin

   sSenderComponent:='uniDBEdit_LastName';

   MessageDlg('You have to fill the LASTNAME, mtInformation, [mbOK], MessageComponentFocus';

   Abort;

end;

 

 

Then the MEssageComponentFocus:

 

Procedure TdmPortal.MessageComponentFocus(Sender: TComponnt; Res: Integer);

begin

   if sSenderComponent='uniDBEdit_LastName' then begin

      FormRegistrationGuest.uniDBEdit_LastName.SetFocus

 

   end;

end;

 

 

For some reason the append will be canceld...which my not be done by the

ABORT. This code works in Delphi application and should also work
in uniGui.

 

Sugguestions/tips please...i use latest version/build (0.97.1077)

I can not reproduce. In my test Append mode remains active until as long as Abort is called.

Maybe your datasource is linked to a unidbgrid and the cursor move.

I tested with a dbgrid.

Hi

 

The database which is connected to the DB fields is also connected to

the dbgrid and should not be problem (compared to a Win32 application)

 

How looks you code Farshad...because the abort may not canceld

the append...it just has to 'abort' the action...this is normal behavior ?

 

I use the same principle as with win32 apps...and i know not all may

compaire...but i don't give a : dmPortal.Gast.CANCEL command

so...till then the append must be 'alive'

 

The abort is also cancelling the append what you normally do with dmPortal.gast.CANCEL

(like the above sample)

You need to send a test case please.
