Subform Set Panels

[Monnet Participant]

Hi everyone,

I’m using a JsSubformSetPanels (running under Omnis 8).
The last line of the openSubForms method is :

Do lSetRow.$define(lSetName,lParent,lFlags,lOrderVar,lFormList)
Do lSetRow.$assigncols(‘SubformSet’,”,kSFSflagSingleOpen+kSFSflagMinButton+kSFSflagAutoLayout+kSFSflagParentWidth,’iOpenForms’,lFormList)
Do $cinst.$clientcommand(“subformset_add”,lSetRow)

Things work well, until I go back to the main menu. If I do that, I can’t get my JsSubform again. Everytime I want to reach it, I get this error:
” Exception occurred when processing server response:

subformset_add: A subform set with this name already exists”.

Does anyone have any idea on what is wrong and how to fix it?

Regards,
Coralie.

Hi Coralie

We hit the same issue. You need to remove the subform set when you’re done. We have a “done” button on the subform set, so when the user clicks the button it calls this:

Do $ctask.trSubForm.$RemoveSFS()

In the main form that created the subform, we have this method: $RemoveSFS() which does this:

; Remove the subform from the subformset. This is called from the jsContractItemEntry subform
Calculate vsSetName as 'ContractItemEntry'
Calculate vnID as 1 ;; 1=jsContractItemEntry subform
Do $cinst.$clientcommand('subformset_formremove',row(vsSetName,vnID))
Quit method

My friend asked me to help him round up his 37 sheep. I said “40”

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your answer. The thing is, I’m using the subform as a kind of CRUD so I can’t use a “done” button. I only have the “back” button in the NavBar, which is implemented in the very first form so I’m not sure on how/where to handle the destruct of the SFS.

Hi again,

small update, I’ve changed my NavBar to a MenuList so I can handle the destruct of the SFS. But when I execute the $RemoveSFS method, I get ” E101697: Notation not supported “. I’ve tried your code, I’ve tried the
Do $cinst.$clientcommand(“subformset_remove”,lSetRow).
If anyone has any idea on what I am doing wrong…
Thanks everyone!

Regards,
Coralie.
