MyBindingNavigator.AddNewItem = null;

     MyBindingNavigator.DeleteItem = null;

 

By turning the default handlers off, the BindingNavigatorAddNewItem and BindingNavigatorDeleteItem buttons just become ordinary buttons to which you can assign actions.  I think we would likely have little success trying predict what behavior our customers want behind the Add and Delete buttons.

Thanks for the information.

 

I am new to .NET but a Visual FoxPro experience developer and at this point I am taking the time going into the massive and impressive documentation for DevForce and of course all the videos available.

 

Looking at the PT6-AddDeleteWithBindNav video I noticed that some custom code is required in order to have these Add/Delete functionality in synch with DevForce and noticed that you don't have a BindingNavigator subclass which provide the code needed by DevForce.  Why don't you have a set of subclasses of the .NET controls to accomodate the required DevForce code?

 

My question goes toward the need to re-use those kind of control in many forms and then have to make the same modification to the BindingNavigator control every time, or is this something that an experience .NET can take care easily?

Could you please send me a copy of that solution?

Why IdeaBlade is not providing a general class for this type of need, since in my experience with my applications, they all have the need to retrieve a subset of the data instead of getting all the data like you do in the training videos?

 

So I believe that in most cases many of the maintenance forms will need some sort of QBE form to allow the user to get the data they want to work with in those forms.

We do provide it, we just don't really promote it, as we discovered that doing QBE in a very general way gets too complicated for most people's tastes.

 

Please contact IdeaBlade support directly via email (support@IdeaBlade.com), and they'll see that you get a copy.
