How do i select a data column from a DDDW dynamically in PowerBuilder

Question

I'm using PowerBuilder 11.5 and still relatively new to PowerBuilder. I need to get the datacolumn value of the selected item of a DDDW from a popoup window? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Thanks for the reply I got the datacolumn value by doing a case statement on the dwo.name in the itemchanged event of the datawindow, and storing the data in an instance variable.

Answer 2

On the surface, the answer is datawindow.GetItemxxx () (where xxx is String or Number or ... corresponding to the data type of the column being retrieved).

Good luck,

Terry.
