Hi Ariel,
Just to add a point: we are talking about the URI to be used by the
scripting framework.
There is also another problem:
what will happen when calling a subroutine/function from within the
odb/forms?
will we be able to call a function located in an embedded form-document
from another embedded form-document (both embedded in the same odb), or
just from form-document to its parent - the DatabaseDocument?
I'd say the latter. I don't really see the need for calling from form A
into form B: If you have code needed in both forms, put it into the
database document. I think cross-document calling would a) make things a
lot more complex, b) make this inconsistent with the other apps (you
cannot call from text document A into text document B, can't you) and c)
open yet another can of worms by making well-defined concepts such as
"ThisComponent" meaningless.
and the other way around: calling from the parent a function within its
child?
I tend to say no. Again, if you have a macro which is *not* needed in
the form only, the put it into the database, where everybody can use it.
Which brings me to another idea I had: Just disallow macros in
forms/reports, only allow them in the database. This would solve most of
the problems :)
This would be a great idea!!! (though what about backwards
compatibility? will it be too much code to implement - not to destroy
the users old data?)
This was what I thought when I knew that ODB doc. will have macros: bye
bye macros in forms!!!
The thoughts here are just what a "common"/"dummy" user would/could do
(let me tell you I've seen almost everything - mostly coming from former
MSAccess users without programming knowledge, and used to VBasic's Me ,
DoCmd, etc.)
Nevertheless the event binding problem in Forms will come to: if I go to
the dialog Tools-Customize-Events from a form-document, in the "Save in"
list box I should see the form-doc.'s parent == the DatabaseDocument
Bye,
Ariel
