Why is the auto-update in DWMX different from UD4?
19 Nov 2002 10:06:01 James Lee posted:
Hello Everybody! Just want to ask that formerly in UD 4 if I want to update any forms using the Auto "record Update Form", the radio properties have a sub-category where I can choose "Manually" or from "Database". But right now in DWMX, they have completely removed that feature! So, I have to do it manually now, why is that so? Another question is that, when I have specified ASP with Javascript, my pages all have this ASP with VBScript being denoted in the Bindings Panel. What is the possible reason for that?
Thanks for reading this!

Peggy,
This feature is not removed...it's improved !
Let's walk through this:
First create your recordset, then insert Application object -> Record Update Form
Select your connection, table name, unique Identifier and redirect page.
Remove any fields you don't want editable by the user and when you reach your radio button field, select it !
Now change the display as field to "Radio Group", tell it how to submit, text, numeric or dates and then click on "Radio Group Properties" to enter the values.
Now when you OK the wizard (I call this a wizard, cause basically it is a wizard) you will see your form with a radio group and in the application window the "Dynamic Radio Buttons" behavior is applied automatically.
Easy as pie.
As to your ASP server model using the wrong type, I have experienced the same, but I select ASP/VB and end up with a Jscript site ?!
I'm still waiting for reply from MM support, I told them there's no rush since I still do most developing in UDev4.
You will find that alot has changed in DWMX.
Hope that helps you.
With kind regards,
