ABC: Stopping confirm delete message (C4) 1998-08-19 -- Wim Nijland Newsgroups: topspeed.products.c4 >I'm looking into deleting records without the confirmation dialog.

Ok, granted I'm not David, but I think the result of CHOOSE(SELF.DeleteAction=Delete:Warn) becomes 1 if DeleteAction=Delete:Warn or 0 otherwise. And this is correct. What I did to avoid getting the confirmation dialog is the following: In Global Embeds, goto Hide:Relate:File, Then insert in method Delete PROCEDURE(Byte Query=1), BEFORE the Parent Call ! Override of standard Delete ! No questions asked on delete of record Query = 0 This takes care of it, being a bit rude, because the question will never be asked again. It does work if you have a browse WITH an update procedure, but does work the way you describe if the UPDATE procedure is not available, Am I right? >I was looking through the source code in Abwindow.clw and found the >following. > >WindowManager.PrimeUpdate PROCEDURE > CASE SELF.Request > of SELF.DeleteAction > CASE SELF.DeleteAction > OF Delete:Warn OROF Delete:Auto > SELF.Response = >SELF.Primary.Delete(CHOOSE(SELF.DeleteAction=Delete:Warn)) > SELF.Response = >CHOOSE(SELF.Response=Level:Benign,RequestCompleted,RequestCancelled) > RVal = Level:Fatal > END > >I'm guessing that Delete:Auto doesn't work because the Case Statement >doesn't distinguish between Delete:Warn and Delete:Auto.
