Drs New Custom field issue

[2can2]

Hi, using V149 I have managed to add code to set a Date Custom field on Debtors to SystemDate if another Custom Tick box is Ticked. Works great for Custom Field changes. However I can't seem to add the code that would allow a NEW Debtor to be created as the CustomDate field is not being set so it errors immediately on new with 'Input String was not in the correct format. Module 'ParsDouble'.
I know this pretty basic but I can't seem to addHandler for ReadEnd or SaveStart routines so I can set the CustomDate field to = Systemdate. Code Below:

Code: Select all

'  **** Define the handler actions needed - (2nd + 4th lines) - DH 280116
Public Sub Setup(ByVal JiwaBusinessLogic As JiwaApplication.IJiwaBusinessLogic, ByVal Plugin As JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin) Implements JiwaApplication.IJiwaBusinessLogicPlugin.Setup
   _DebtorObject = DirectCast(JiwaBusinessLogic, JiwaDebtors.Debtor)
'   DCU = _DebtorObject.Debtor   ** Can't get this to work??
   AddHandler _DebtorObject.CustomFieldValues.Changed, AddressOf CustomFieldValues_Changed
'   AddHandler _DebtorObject.CustomFieldValues.ReadEnd, AddressOf CustomFieldValues_ReadEnd  ***??
'   AddHandler _DebtorObject.SaveStart, AddressOf _DebtorObject_SaveStart                                   **??
   
End Sub

'  *** If QualityCheck Ticked then QCDate = Login Date!! NB Custom Date fields handle as normal! DH 280116
Private Sub CustomFieldValues_Changed(item As JiwaApplication.CustomFields.CustomFieldValue, e As System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs)
   If item.CustomField.PluginCustomField.Name = "QualityCheck" Then
'         MsgBox (item.Contents)
      If item.Contents = True Then
         _DebtorObject.CustomFieldValues.ItemFromSettingName(DBCustomFieldName_QCDate).Contents = JiwaApplication.Manager.Instance.SysDateTime
      End If   
   End If
End Sub


I have no access to a developer at the moment hence the basic queries - apologies.

Code: Select all

_DebtorObject.CustomFieldValues.ItemFromSettingName(DBCustomFieldName_QCDate).Contents = JiwaApplication.Manager.Instance.SysDateTime


JiwaApplication.Manager.Instance.SysDateTime is a date, and you can't just put it into a string - you need to explicitly convert it to a string.

e.g.:

Code: Select all

_DebtorObject.CustomFieldValues.ItemFromSettingName(DBCustomFieldName_QCDate).Contents = JiwaApplication.Manager.Instance.SysDateTime.ToString()


Note that you can specify the formatting, if desired - eg:

Code: Select all

_DebtorObject.CustomFieldValues.ItemFromSettingName(DBCustomFieldName_QCDate).Contents = JiwaApplication.Manager.Instance.SysDateTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")

Hi Mike, It still gives exactly the same error on NEW using .TOString()

It worked fine before adding the TOString() when editing an existing Debtor but still the same issue on a NEW.
Do I need an extra handler for new? Cheers
