[Jcframework-info] AtomsFramework changes

[Richard B. <rb...@ar...>]

Hi,

I have added a new class to the framework.

The CPersistentCollection class provides a standard collection for 
persistent objects.  However, in addition to the usual Add/Remove 
functionality there is a new property

Public Property CPersistentCollection.ContainerObject() as CPersistentObject

When this is set to an object any time you add or remove an item from the 
collection the dirty flag will be automatically set on the container 
object.  This saves us having to remember to set the flag in forms when we 
add a line to an order (for example).

To use it - just treat it like a normal collection.  The Add and Remove 
methods and the Item property work just as for a normal collection.

To make sure the container property is set just add the following to the 
New() sub in your object, eg

Public Sub New()
   MyBase.New()
   m_orderlines = new CPersistentCollection
   m_orderlines.ContainerObject = me
   ...
End Sub

Have fun,
Richard.
