Hi All,

I have two questions in one:

1. How do I get a BINDEVENT to work in the INIT of a Cursor Adapter, where the bind is on a THISFORM.Method reference?

I have a base textbox class with a BINDEVENT like:

BINDEVENT(THISFORM, "update_form_controls", THIS, "set_for_state", 1)

This action works. A call to THISFORM.update_form_controls fires the Control.set_for_state method on each control on the form. Apparently, the THISFORM in the BINDEVENT command in the INIT of the control is able to resolve the THISFORM reference at INIT-time.

However -- I place the same type of BINDEVENT in the INIT of a Cursor Adapter class and the action fails. Anyone know why?


2. How do I get a good THISFORM reference at INIT-time?

At INIT-time, I have a form control that wants to pull its data from a collection object on the form. It looks like:

THISFORM.o_form_coll && <-- the form collection with the control data.

Inside the control INIT is:

lo_form = THISFORM && <-- point of failure because THISFORM is not yet valid.
lo_coll = lo_form.o_form_coll
lv_data = lo_coll.get_data(THIS.c_csr_dot_field)

I know I am not the first person to address this and somewhere in the past I have seen and implemented strategies to handle it, but cannot remember what I or others did.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Larry
