Updating Nested Child Browse
« on: February 09, 2014, 09:58:52 AM »
I am wanting to use a Browse within a Browse to provide some grouping to the child browse... e.g.  All Events of a certain Type are grouped together with a header.
I am not sure if there is a better way to do this, but it is what I have come up with.  Unfortunately when I want to update the child browse it opens starts to open the correct form, but ultimately opens the parent browse form or goes to the index page if I leave the parent browse form undefined.
I have attached an example with a custom css.  How can I get it to open the child form?  Or is there a better way to do this?

C8 9759
NT 7.33

Thanks!
Debra

Hi Debra,

I've looked at it in a bit of depth, and the short answer is that this approach currently won't work. There seem to be some fairly tight restrictions over the use of Browse-In-Browse, which I need to refactor somewhat. That'll hopefully come during the NT8 cycle.

Cheers
Bruce

Thanks for the response Bruce.  I came up with another way to do get my grouping, and have attached the updated example.
Essentially if my grouping column changed from the last record read I use my custom css, if not I use nt-hidden to hide the row.
Works fine and gets me what I was after!
Thanks again

Debra
