I'm using PowerBuilder 11.5 and still relatively new to PowerBuilder. I need to get the datacolumn value of the selected item of a DDDW from a popoup window? Any help would be appreciated.

  • By "from a popup window", do you mean from the drop down that appears when the user clicks the arrow (as one example of an event that will create that). – Terry Sep 12 '13 at 19:34
  • No I mean actual popup window. On this window is a data window, the data object of that is a data window with 2 dddw on it. The dddw's each have their own data window consisting of a item_code(which is the data column I want) and a item_description( the display column) – user2773471 Sep 12 '13 at 20:18
  • The answer GetItemxxx() still stands, then. – Terry Sep 13 '13 at 05:06

On the surface, the answer is datawindow.GetItemxxx () (where xxx is String or Number or ... corresponding to the data type of the column being retrieved).

Good luck,

Terry.

Thanks for the reply I got the datacolumn value by doing a case statement on the dwo.name in the itemchanged event of the datawindow, and storing the data in an instance variable.
