Edit a selected record in a table.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am working on VC7.1. I have to edit a selected record in the table(a particular cell value).

The new value is taken from a pop up window. Upon closing the pop up window the cell has to get updated with the new value.

How do i do this?

Hi Divya,

You can use the Assign Action to pass a value from the popup to the another field.

To do so right click the Popup and Select "Layout Borard", Next, Right click the OK button of the popup and select "Action", Next, add an additional action (after "close") using the plus button - choose "Assign": select from where to take the value (in the popup) and to where you want it placed.

This way the OK Button will first close the popup, then assign the value to where you want it to.

Hi Divya,

Are you still looking for the answer ? If yes, can you please tell me if you are using a pop-up with nested view or not?

Hi Divya,

That means in a pop-up you have a Form in which you change a value of a column.

To do:

1. In the close Action, you add sequence of Actions that needs to happen. Something like [this|http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/6994/actionspf7.jpg]

2. After the close action, you need to add Find action to first find the row you would like to edit.

3. Then may be delete it and insert a new line with the editted values.

4. Or use Assign Something like [this|http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/3275/action2tm8.jpg]

Hope this solves the purpose.
