Hey Gang,
Does anyone know the correct JAVA syntax for accessing an attribute from a Dialog box? I am on the search screen and have two non-persistent fields within a dialog box that I want to pass to some custom coding. I can't figure out how to reference the entered values. Any ideas?
thanks,
John
The syntax for accessing a non-persistent attribute is no different than for a persistent attribute.
Since you say that you are working with the search screen, I believe the that is actually your issue. The MBO on a search screen is what's called a zombie, existing only for the purpose of building a search query. In my experience, you can't access the attribute values of a zombie. You can check if an MBO is a zombie and implement different custom behavior ( isZombie() method of the Mbo object), but I don't believe you can actually access the values.
