Hi Diana,

Can you send us a bit more information about that exception (with Copy

Best regards

Diana, this is probably not related to your problem, but on linux you
need to set path to VW directory correctly, otherwise you'll have
exception reports without source code as you have.

For example, here is part of my .bashrc :

export VISUALWORKS=/home/mivsek/vw7.4
export PATH=$VISUALWORKS/bin/linux86:$PATH

Is it possible to use a DataSet and synchronize the updates using a
trigger in its aspect like it's used with Aspect Paths in other widgets?

Can't find any info in GUIDevGuide :-(

I've done this a number of times (column aspect: selectedItem firstName |
trigger), but had to fix up datasets to work properly, see the fileout.
Beware I hadn't tested this with 7.4, perhaps some of the overrides aren't
as healthy there, but I can tell you it used to work just fine in 7.3 at
least.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot Boris,

It didn't come to my mind immediately that this could be version
specific. For the this specific case, I'm using 7.3.1nc, which I believe
is near enough :-)

It not that hard to get it updated for newer versions of VisualWorks either.
Its only a handful of overrides that you need go through and "compare with
system" making sure there weren't any changes done in base compared to how
these methods looked way back when these overrides were created.

Cheers!

I've integrated the overrides in my working image.

Now I'm noticing the following behaviour:

On a dataset whose column has an aspect path with update trigger, the
widget stores the value entered only if in the whole dataset this is the
only value changed, otherwise, the cell's value reverts to the one in
the model (when we put focus in other cell).

In other words, it seems the selection is being capable of storing just
a single value holder for the whole dataset!

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Again, searching for information on this be in the GUI developers guide
or earlier postings in this list does not come with anything concrete
(though I've seen similar questions, I could not find any repply)...

TIA
