Hi

Form\Design\Tab\TabPage\Add new Control(Ex StingEdit)\ => Go to Properites of that Control \

  1. Datasource → Name of the datasource

  2. Data Methods → Specify name of Display Methods

don’t forget to add cacheAddmethod for display methods in Form-> init methods -regarding Performance

Hi Alonso,

In Table1 - Create one new field(Field1).

In form1 - drag and drop new field in form design.

try this in write method

Table1.Field1 = DisplaymethodContro.valuester();

A display method is a method returning value, therefore call the method and save the return value to a field. It doesn’t have to be on a form at all.

Just be careful that your field won’t be automatically updated if the method starts returning a different value (because of a change in data). Either you accept that your field won’t have always the same value as the method, or you have to explicitly update it.

Note that mvineet725 already have his own thread for his question (How to store form display method value in table), so please put your replies there, so the discussion isn’t spread across many threads.

mvineet725, I think you should react to what we told you rather than copying your question to more and more places.
