Hello Tony,

What I am doing as a work-around is to disable all the fields on the form. It is not ideal, but it works and I will wait for you to release the next version with something that works better. I appreciate that very much.

Thanks

Hello Reg,

Currently this is not possible, but I think that this have sense and will try to realize it in the next release.

In the mean time you can not use the build in add/edit in navigator, but rather to add a custom button in navigator with add/edit and when using onClickButton option to use this logic for lunching or not the edit form

I think I figured out most of this.

I retireve the search criteria like this:

   beforeShowForm : function (formid) {
        var searchOptions = $("#postingtime").getGridParam("postData");
        if(searchOptions.item_fk == 0) {

// suppress the edit form

} else {

// allow editing and set the default values

$("#item_fk",formid).val(searchOptions.item_fk);

};

What I haven't been able to figure out is how to suppress the edit form. return[false] doesn't do anything.

Am I going about this the best way? How can I prevent the form showing?

Thanks,

Reg

I want to default fields on new records to the values selected on the previous search so that, say, I search for Item = 'Hats', and whether I find any or not and the grid displays any or not, when I click on Add, the default for Item (a dropdown field on the edit form) is 'Hats'.

Is there a way to make this happen?

Thanks
