Toolbar Actions [RESOLVED]

[carlblanchard]

Hello everybody (hi DR NICK)

OK i have main MDI PARENT with a toolbar on it

i also have an mdi child with a paged view of a recordset (access db)

I would like to have on my toolbar a button for "fIRST rECORD"
a button for "NEXT RECORD", "Priv Record", "Last record"


I have these buttons on the child and they work fine using this kinda code

Me.BindingContext(DataSet11, "CustomerDetails").Position = 0

that makes it go to the start of the recordset

HOW CAN I MAKE MY TOOLBAR BUTTONS PERFORM THE SAME FUNCTION CONSIDERING ME.BINDINGcONTEXT & DATASET11 ARE NOT PART OF THE MAIN MDI PARENT ???????????????

Write a public sub in the child form that contains the code to move the position of the dataset. Call that sub from the toolbar's button click event.

code in my child

Private Sub NavRecStart()
Me.BindingContext(DataSet11, "CustomerDetails").Position = 0
End Sub


code in my parent

frmCustomer_View.NavRecStart()

get this message

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in ManageMyHosting.exe

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

In the click event of the toolbarbutton try this :

Dim F as frmCustomer_View = Me.ActiveMdiChild
F.NavRecStart()
 
F=Nothing

Then the same button should work no matter which child has the focus.

Hope it helps.
