How do I hide or protect specific rows that have been returned from a drop down data window?
I have a drop down data window that returns multiple rows. I need to hide or protect some of the rows that have been returned. I know that if I wanted to protect a column that is easily done in the properties of the column, but in my case here I only want to weed out specific rows. Can I do this on a filter in some way? I need to display these rows on initial retrieve, but then I do not want the user to be able to select them going forward.
What I want to do is hide or protect any rows where my effective date is not the max effective date on the table for a specific customer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Here is my select statement on the drop down data window:select Distinct dbo.tcu_cust.cust_name , dbo.tcu_cust.business_unit, dbo.tcu_cust.ps_cust_id, dbo.tcu_cust_address.address1 , dbo.tcu_cust_address.address2 , dbo.tcu_cust_address.city , dbo.tcu_cust_address.state , dbo.tcu_cust_address.postal, dbo.tcu_cust_address.address_id, dbo.tcu_cust_address.effective_dateFROM dbo.tcu_cust with (index ( i_cust_01)), dbo.tcu_cust_addr_seq, dbo.tcu_cust_addressWHERE ( dbo.tcu_cust.cust_id = dbo.tcu_cust_addr_seq.cust_id )and ( dbo.tcu_cust_addr_seq.cust_id = dbo.tcu_cust_address.cust_id )and ( dbo.tcu_cust_addr_seq.address_seq_nbr = dbo.tcu_cust_address.address_seq_nbr )and ( dbo.tcu_cust_addr_seq.ship_to_addr = 'Y' )and ( dbo.tcu_cust.cust_type = 'PSOFT' )and ( dbo.tcu_cust.cust_status >= 'A' and dbo.tcu_cust.cust_status <= 'I' )and ( ( dbo.tcu_cust.ps_corp_cust_id in (select dbo.tcu_cust.ps_cust_id from dbo.tcu_cust where dbo.tcu_cust.cust_id = :ai_cust_id)) or ( dbo.tcu_cust.cust_id = :ai_cust_id ) or ( dbo.tcu_cust.ps_cust_id in (select dbo.tcu_cust_add_relations.ps_site_id from dbo.tcu_cust_add_relations where dbo.tcu_cust_add_relations.cust_id = :ai_cust_id)))and ( dbo.tcu_cust.ship_to_flg = 'Y' )
Ok..it's more clear now..
As you want to display and don't allow to select there is only option to write a script in itemchanged event of the datawindow. Get the value from the column which says about active status and if it is not active RETURN 1 from the itemchanged event. Example script is given in Code Snippet.
Also I would suggest to display those rows in different color in DDDW by setting background/ foreground color property, so it would be easier for user to know it before selection.
And if you don't want to display the records itself then filter is the option.

// assumed that customer_id is the column to which dddw is attached and cust// cust_id is the datavalue for dddw// isactive is the column which says about the active status of the customer. If it's date you can take it as effective_datedatawindowchild child1string ls_custidlong ll_row// Get dddw referencedw_1.Getchild('customer_id',child1)// Get datavalue from dddwls_custid = data// search record for selected datavalue from dddwll_row = child1.Find('ps_cust_id = ' + ls_custid,1,child1.RowCount())// If record foundIf ll_row > 0 Then // Get value of column for decision making ls_isactive = child1.object.isactive[ll_row] // OR ld_eff_date = child1.object.effective_date[ll_row] // check value for decision If ls_isacgive = 'N' Then // If ld_eff_date <> max_date Then Messagebox('Invalid','Current selection for customer is not active') RETURN 1 End ifEnd If
Ofcourse you can do with filter or by changing where clause....but still i am not clear about....

please clearify when exactly you want to filter out?

On my initial select from the drop down, I want to display all rows (both active and inactive customers), but when the user goes to click on a row from the list, I want them to only be able to choose from the active customers - so I want the inactive customers to be listed but not enabled. Does this help?
Thanks!

The subnet calculator helps you design networks by taking an IP address and network mask and returning information such as network, broadcast address, and host range.
One of a set of tools we're offering as a way of saying thank you for being a part of the community.
Just to add, if you want to hide them from the list instead of just enabling or disabling them what you can do is to put a script in the rowchanged event of the datawindow.
In the rowchanged you getthe datawindow child then you filter them accordingly. this way the "list" will change based on the row that is selected.
Hope this helps.

A new question - I am trying to use SetDetailHeight and set the height to 0 on the rows I want to hide. When I step through debug, this works, but the change to the datawindow child does not seem to save - original height is still displayed. Does the datawindow need specific settings for this to work?

Thanks for the help. I now have my datawindow child working using the setdetailheight option.
