X-refresh in a basic repeating panel in a data grid

[campopianoa]

A simple clone is always useful; however, it sounds like you need to reach back to the template’s parent in order to get access to the items.

You can call get_open_form().some_method_to_deal_with_your_items() from inside your template form. Or use a call to parent, but depending on the structure, that is not always a good idea.

Please see these posts for some context:

Calling a function from within a Template form

that’s a little fragile, despite it actually working. You should maybe keep a reference to the form in Form1. For example : self.my_new_form = Form2() self.content_panel.add_component(self.my_new_form) then you could do this from anywhere : get_open_form().my_new_form.my_function()

I have a question about what is most “Anvil-ic” (best practice) about displaying a new page in an app. So far I have used three methods for this: open_page('my_new_page') self.content_panel.clear() self.content_panel.add_component(my_new_page()) get_open_form().content_panel.clear() get_open_form().content_panel.add_component(new_page) I can see that method 3 works well if you are sitting on a component that lives inside…

Add row to top of data grid without refreshing

If you want to add to a row in the repeating panel, you could modify its items. Try inspecting self.repeating_panel_1.items. It is a list of dictionaries/rows. If you want to add a data row panel, could you use add_component and rearrange the full component list? Example, label=Label(text='put me first') row=DataRowPanel() row.add_component(label, column=1) comps=self.data_grid_1.get_components() comps.insert(1, row) self.data_grid_1.clear() for c in comps: self.data_grid_1.add_compon…
