GOAL:

ADM2. Way to use GroupAssign link between viewers in different SmartContainers.

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 9.x

FIX:

When you use SmartContainers inside of another SmartContainer, you can add data or update passThrough links. Because SmartContainers do not support GroupAssign links, it is not possible to add a GroupAssign passThrough link between viewers in different SmartContainers.

The following example illustrates how to simulate GroupAssign links between viewers in different SmartContainers. The main window has a SDO, SDV-1, SmartContainer and SmartPannel. The SmartContainer has a SDV-2, a 'GroupAssign' link with the SDV-1, and a 'Data' link with the SDO (both of them in the main windows):

/***********************************************
initializeObject in main window
***********************************************/

DEFINE VARIABLE hViewer AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.

/*Get the viewer handle using the getViewerHandle function defined in the SmartContainer*/
ASSIGN hViewer = DYNAMIC-FUNCTION('getViewerHandle':U IN <SmartContainer-handle>).

/*Add the Data link with the SDO*/
RUN addLink (<SDO-handle>, 'Data':U, hViewer).

/*Add the GroupAssign link between SDV*/
RUN addLink (<SDV-1-handle>, 'GroupAssign':U, hViewer).


/***********************************************
function getViewerHandle in SmartCOntainer.
***********************************************/
FUNCTION getViewerHandle RETURNS HANDLE:

RETURN <SDV-2-handle>.
END FUNCTION.
