Passing Browse Value as parameter to Browse Link

[Ubaidullah]

Hi Browse,

I have a link in a browse row that opens another browse with child records for the records in the row. I am able to filter using the GUID of the parent which is passed as a parameter. How do I use AddBrowseValue() to pass the GUID of the parent record and then filter on the "bidv" in the child browse?

You don't need to add anything - the Other button on the browse has an option to pass RowId. This is then automatically moved to the session value so you can use it in the filter.

Thanks for the reply, Bruce.

How do I convert the RowId back into a GUID in the child browse?

edit: Based on some threads I am reading here, it seems that I can just do a p_web.GetValue(pre:GUID) and get the value without worrying about converting the RowId back. Is that correct?

You don't - it's already populated for you, in teh SessionValue.

p_web.GetSessionValue('pre:GUID')
