Run code after column from table is dragged and dropped onto section

[avianmanagement]

Is there any delegate that can be called after a column from table is dragged and dropped onto section?

When I drag a column say chr(10) onto a canvas section it creates a textbox with the name say field5

I want to be able to run some code that changes the name.

So if the column was cfirstname I want to rename field5 to txt_cfirstname, if an memofield then edit_cfirsname.

At present I need to click on the caption of the text box to open the attributes and change it before I do any coding.

In the assistant, which is brilliant to use, I can't change the name by the looks of it.

When coding using something like txt_firstname is easier than field5 as one know hat it being referred to.

No there is no way of hooking into that type of development operation.

You can change the name in the “attributes” which contains all of the available attributes but much slower than working in the “Assistant”.

Also, See Lianja.getControlSource()

Thanks Barry

Yes it would be MUCH quicker and far easier to be able to do it in the assistant, but in the assistant I can only copy the name there does not seem to be any way to change the name.

The See Lianja.getElementByControlSource() looks VERY interesting

Lianja.getControlSource()

Hi Barry

I could only find Lianja.getElementByControlSource() in the documentation online.

Is this something you might consider if I put and ER ticket in ?

Hi David

it is in the doc. I corrected my post.

Lianja.getControlSource()
https://www.lianja.com/doc/index.php/Lianja

Return a reference to the formitem bound to the specified controlsource.

Hi Barry,

it is listed but for any examples it refers back to

Working with the Lianja Object Model

Lianja.getElementByControlsource()

I assume as it says

Note: The synonym Lianja.getControlSource(cSource) is also available.

it is the same thing as

Lianja.getElementByControlsource()

Just use Lianja.GetControlSource()

Thanks that looks really useful, quick and easy to use without having to rename things
