[EXTERNAL]Calling assigned subwindow method

[Martin Obongita]

Brian, 
Thank you.
That was very helpful.
I had created many sub windows.
By referencing all the sub windows, 
I now notice an improvement in performance when opening windows.
I suspect (this is a huge assumption)
That Omnis takes longer to runDo $cinst.$objs
Compared toDo iObjRef

I use subwindows a lot in my desktop client apps. I presume this same approach should work for subforms.

In the subwindow field of the parent window, I define a $construct method which sets an instance-variable item-reference as a shortcut to the subwindow field:
        Set reference refSubWin to $cfield

This can then be used to address the instance of that subwindow. Elsewhere in the parent window we can then:

        Do refSubWin.$message(cMessage)

I really like using item references! They can greatly simplify & shorten notation strings.

Subject: [EXTERNAL]Calling assigned subwindow method

Hi All,
I call a method in a subwindow with the command in the main window:
Do $cinst.$objs.subform.$subinst().$message(cMessage)

How do I call a method in a subform IF I have assigned the classname of the subform?
For example:
Calculate lSubFormName as 'jsSubFormReport'
Do $cinst.$objs.SubForm.$classname.$assign(lSubFormName)
This instantiates the subform ok.
I tried running the line below from the main form and it fails:
Do $cinst.$objs.[lSubFormName].$subinst().$message(cMessage)


Kind regardsMartin Obongita
