Re: Creating a button to populate a grid with information?

Fantastic! I had absolutely no idea that this was an option. I admit that I am not well versed in Method since I just recently took over the responsabilities for Method from the person who originally set it up but this was EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Thank you very much! A++

Creating a button to populate a grid with information?

tractortoolsdirect — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 16:02:34 GMT

Hello,

I am currently trying to accomplish the same thing as memorized/recurring transactions in Quickbooks. Basically, I have an invoice screen with a grid that is used for listing any items a customer has purchased. This grid is linked to a table that contains all the information for each item (aptly named 'Item'), so that all that is needed is for the user to start typing the SKU until it appears in a dropdown, clicking on the complete SKU, and then existing actions fill in the rest of the information (product name, short description, price, sale price, etc).

Our company sells a package that contains several products that we offer for a discounted price, so this package is quite popular with our customers who would normally buy these products seperately for full price.

The issue is that entering the information for every product and then checking to make sure it was entered correctly is time consuming, so I am attempting to create a "bundle button" that when pressed will populate the grid with all of the products.

I do not have a good idea on how to accomplish this. The main problem is that I cannot control the focus of the screen, and as a result, I have only made a button that enters information for 1 product. However, this only works if I first click inside the grid so that the textbox is highlighted, and then press the button to populate that row.

Is there any way of going about doing this that I haven't figured out yet? So far I have been using "Enter Value into Field on Screen" and "Retrieve Value From Table", but neither have been particularly useful.

Method API to automate Exporting

Hello,

I am new to Method API so forgive me if my problem has an easy or obvious solution.

I am trying to create a function that will ideally be able to automatically export every table from Method into an Excel compatible file, or at least bind this function to a button that will accomplish the same task after being pressed.

Is there any reasonable way to accomplish this, since using export to download every single table seems very inefficient? I have searched this forum top to bottom and the only answers I have come across just say "it can be done" but give 0 explanation or direction.

Thank you
