Making specific fields active on a View form...
« on: December 21, 2011, 03:56:28 PM »
I have a view form which the user can call up to show product information.  However, I would like to place a memory variable on this form, and a button, which will do a quick price calculation and display it on the same form.

Any way to easily make one of two fields 'active' again on a NetWebForm which has been show via the 'View' button?

Thanks!

no, nothing out the box there Devan.
However the way I'd probably do it (without having actually tried it) is to embed some code into the
value::fieldname routine
of the button.

You'll see there it uses loc:viewonly as the determining factor.
So you can save loc:viewonly at the top of the routine to a local variable, then set loc:viewonly to 0, then reset it at the end to its original state.

cheers
