Sort browse depending on parent

[Alberto]

Hi,
Any easy way to sort the browse depending on the parent?

Thanks

Parent or Caller?

If you have "child browses" then the parent is the one calling the children.

If you have a browse on a form then the Form is the parent, and the browse is the child.

In other words, to be a parent the parent is always visible as well as the child.

In your earlier thread you talked about a browse calling a form, and thus being the parent of the form. This is inaccurate. It's not the parent, it's the caller.

Cheers

Sory,

I have a browse on a form then the Form is the parent, and the browse is the child.

This browse is child of many forms and I need to sort it depending on the form (parent)

Thanks

you're best then adding some hand-code to the browse, just ater the sort order is set. You can use loc:parent to know which form you are on.

If you right-click, and choose Source, go to the GenerateBrowse routine. Just before the LOOP statement you should be able to see how the sort order is set.

OK, and continuing with my other post.

If I have some browses, which updetes with the same form, how to know in the form woch browse is the caller?

Hi Alberto,

Set a session value in the GenerateBrowse routine of the browse, and read it in the Form where you need it.
