undo changes in an unbound form 1

[easycode]

I was trying to use the dirty event/property, but they work only if the controls within the form are bound to the table, what if not.

thanks for your help

Hi!

The controls you are interested in have an .OldValue property that will keep the previous value until the update is complete. You can loop through the controls and reset them to the old value.

I was checking on the help file, and even this OldValue property works only with bound controls, but what if my controls are unbound, they are not linked to a table directly, but later i will link the controls to the table
thanks for replying jebry

Hi!

Sorry about the misdirect there. The only other thing I can think of is to set up an array at the form level and load it with the control names and value in the Current event. You can then use the array to reset the values if needed.

And what about the DefaultValue property ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi!

Another thought is to loop through the controls and put their current values in the .Tag property. Then you can reset them is necessary.
