<ayers> Cool ... I've got a question.
<ayers> I've created my custom forms (yeah!)
<ayers> I've also got my input trigger (PRE-FOCUSOUT) working (yeah! yeah!)
<ayers> but now I would like the form to "remember" the input values for some fields and preset them when a new object is created.
<ayers> This seems "trivial" for plaing values.
<ayers> But I actually want to set "objects" from the datasources
<ayers> s/plaing/plain/
<ayers> So I starting with a block PRE-COMMIT trigger
<ayers> I'm assuming self is the current block
<reinhard> objects live in server land
<reinhard> there are no objects on the client (form) side
<ayers> OK.. so I guess I need to cache the foreign keys then...
<reinhard> yes
<reinhard> there is some magic setting in forms that tells the form to initialize a new record with the values of the last saved record
<reinhard> IIRC
<reinhard> is that what you want?
<ayers> Yes!
<ayers> But only for some fields!
* ayers searches the forms documentation again....
<reinhard> <field name="foo" field="bar" defaultToLast="Y"/>
<ayers> Sounds perfect!  Let me try...
<ayers> Yes! Cool! Thanks...
<ayers> Now I need to look up on positioning the cursor when a new record is created....
<reinhard> that's something like setFocus or set_focus
<ayers> from the technotes:
<ayers> - setFocus(object)                   move the focus/cursor to object <object>
<ayers> I suppose the object is the field
<reinhard> it can be the field or the entry
<ayers> OK... I'm doing something wrong,,, maybe ON-NEWRECORD is called a bit too early... or I'm trying to call the method on the wrong object.
<ayers> I've got:
<ayers>       <trigger type="ON-NEWRECORD">
<ayers>         self.setFocus(blkMaster.fldAdmScanentry)
<ayers>       </trigger>
<ayers> Ant that raises an Exception:
<ayers> File "<<uninitialized object>.ON-NEWRECORD>", line 9, in ON_NEWRECORD
<ayers> TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
<ayers> If I drop self then I get:
<ayers>   File "<<uninitialized object>.ON-NEWRECORD>", line 9, in ON_NEWRECORD
<ayers>   File "/usr/local/src/svn/gnue/gnue/.svndevelbase/gnue/forms/GFForm.py", line 1969, in __trigger_set_focus

<reinhard> BTW: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/hans_reiser_trial/#49144716
<reinhard> setFocus is a function of the form
<reinhard> so the "self" is not correct
<reinhard> can you try to set the focus to the entry rather than the field?
<ayers> I currently have the trigger in the block... should I try to retrieve the form from the block first?
<ayers> I see that there is an _form ivar but I'm not finding a real accessor method...
<ayers> I guess I could do the same a GFObj does... i.e.:
<ayers> self.findParentOfType('
