Dirty flag on Sales Order

[indikad]

I am looking to check if the current sales order on the screen is waiting for a save ( "isDirty ?")
for that matter on any screen object would be nice - but sales order window for now.

*I need to do this from a event that is not generated by Sales Order process - such as from a custom button. That is the reason I need the "Dirty" flag.

Thanks.

All maintenance type forms have a property, "BusinessLogic" which has a ChangeFlag property.

In your button click handler, use FindForm to get the form (eg: sales order form), and then check the BusinessLogic.ChangeFlag property to see if it is dirty.

i.e.:

Code: Select all

Private Sub MyButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    Dim form As JiwaApplication.Maintenance.UserInterface = sender.FindForm
    If form.BusinessLogic.ChangeFlag Then
        ' Changes pending
    End If
End Sub

HI Mike,

I had a small issue - when I click my custom button I get an error . the error is
"Public member "findForm" on type "UltraToolsbarsManager" not found. Module - getMembers

However I resolved this by directly accessing the globaly saved sales order form variable rather than using the sender.

The UltraToolsbarsManager is not a control, it is a component and thus has no FindForm property - but you can get to the form using the "DockWithinContainer" property of the UltraToolsbarsManager.

e.g.:

Code: Select all

    Public Sub SalesOrderForm_Toolbar_ToolClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolClickEventArgs)      
        If e.Tool.Key = "Create Purchase Orders" Then         
         Dim salesOrderForm As JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaSalesUI.SalesOrder.BaseSalesOrderEntryForm = DirectCast(sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.UltraToolbarsManager).DockWithinContainer
            CreatePurchaseOrders(salesOrderForm)
        End If
    End Sub


When you mentioned button in your original post, I thought you meant a button control, not a ribbon tool.
