Tab updating after switching to another contactYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi,

I made some tab for Contact view, but it's not updating after switching to other contact, and displays data of previous contact.
I have tried to use OpenForm, ChangeForm and CreateForm events but it doesn't work.

We are using SLX version 6.2.6

I'm new in VB and SLX so it's big trouble for me

You need to bind the controls to the database fields using the TEXT property (or date if date field etc) SalesLogix will do the rest.

Thx,

data in controls changes but I still can't understand how, as example, to update datagrid using new contactid after switching.

Getting a grid to update automatically is a two step process.
1. Bind the "BindID" property of the grid to the ContactID
2. Open the Query Builder from the SQL property. At the bottom of the Grid Details tab there is a box where you can set the field that should be compared to the BindID property. Drag the appropriate field there (or double-click it in the fields list when on this tab)

Example: If you were making a grid of Addresses for the contact, you would change the Table dropdown to Address, then find the EntityID field in the field list and double-click it to set it in the box. Then the grid will automatically load all Addresses where the EntityID (set in the query builder) of the address matches the ContactID (set on the BindID property) of the current contact.
