Making settings for a Form DataView component

The Form DataView option is intended to be used only on modal (child) forms. They use and display the data from the current collection of the parent form.

To use a DataView component to display a form DataView, you must first select the Form DataView option in the Specify DataView Settings dialog box.  

Then, on the General tab:

  1. Optionally, in the DataView group box, if more than one layout exists for the DataView, specify from the Layout drop-down list which layout to use.
  2. Optionally, in the Form Events to Generate group box, specify this information:
    Note:  These drop-down lists are automatically populated with the names of any custom form events that exist in your application. You can still, however, use any of the standard form events by typing the event name in the appropriate field.
    • To specify the event to generate when a record is selected in the DataView display, use the Row Selected field.
    • To specify the event to generate when the IDO collection is refreshed, use the Refresh field.
    • To specify the event to generate when the Get More Rows option is clicked, use the Get More Rows field.
  3. Click OK.
