<kilo> good morning gnuers
<johannesV> hi kilo
<kilo> hi johannesV

<kilo> reinhard, johannesV: there is a reference field in a class. in a form i choose the right instance from a dropdown, the reference field now holds a gnue_id referreing to an existing instance. how can i access its properties in the form?
<reinhard> this is a bug in forms
<reinhard> s/bug/missing feature/
<reinhard> actually you should be able to have some entries of type "label" of the dropdown datasource
<reinhard> and selecting an item in the dropdown should navigate the datasource to the correct record
<reinhard> but it doesn't
<kilo> ah, i see
<reinhard> we have the same problem
<reinhard> as you see in hotline.gfd
<reinhard> selecting a contact *should* show you the email and phone  number of the contact
<reinhard> but it doesn't
<kilo> yes, i remember now
<reinhard> * when a block is connected to the same datasource as the dropdown, the current
<reinhard>   record in the block doesn't follow the selection in the dropdown; this makes
<reinhard>   it impossible to display additional info for the selected item of a dropdown
<reinhard> (from gnue-forms/BUGS)
<kilo> in my case (invoicing) if a user select a payment method, it also defines the days the payment is due in. and i want to display the date due ( = date issued + days due)
<reinhard> what you *could* do is
<reinhard> (or at least try)
<reinhard> in a trigger post() the record to appserver
<reinhard> and display a calculated field with the date due
<reinhard> post() without commit() would update the calculated fields but would still not store it in the db
<reinhard> (i'm not sure if you can post() in a trigger code)
<kilo> i see
<kilo> will try that, thx
<reinhard> most probably you have a calculated field for due date anyway
<kilo> have one, but not calculated. as though the software can calculate the day due, the usr can override it. so i got to store it
<reinhard> ah
<kilo> but then post() will not invoke a procedure that should calculate the date due
<reinhard> no, you would have to call that procedure yourself
<kilo> when and how
<reinhard> actually you wouldn't need the post() then, because calling a procedure will post() silently
<reinhard> how -> just callFunc
<reinhard> when -> that's the question: when should the due date be overwritten
<kilo> grep callFunc reinhardsbrain
<reinhard> grep callFunc sample.gfd
<reinhard> would also do the trick :)
<kilo> but then you have to state the reinhardsbrain != sample.gfd 8-))))))
<kilo> and there is no callFunc... only call... 8-)))
<kilo> whoa, it works...
<kilo> hung the call on the on-change trigger of the field with the dropdown and it calculates it nicely
