Hello all,
I am having some problems adding a new record to the database of my program.
In my program I put up a dialog box containing text fields and want to get
the data from those fields and put them into the database. When I click the
OK button to process the code to add the record, no record gets added. There
are still only the 2 records that I started out with in the database. I am
probable missing something simple here but it is driving me nuts. Any help
is greatly appreciated.
Here's some of the code:
//Add the drug to the database and pack it away. This function is called
from the the event handler(called when user taps the OK button) of the
dialog box that I put up.
static void AddDrugToDB()
{
Drugs drug; //structure that I have defined to contain the data
ControlPtr controlP;
MemHandle recordHdl;
UInt16 index = 0;
recordHdl = DmNewRecord (gDataBase, &index, 1);
if (!recordHdl)
{
ErrNonFatalDisplay ("Unable to add drug to the database. You
device may be full.");
}
else
{
//get data from form. GetLockedPtr returns text(Char*) of field
drug.name = GetLockedPtr (AdddrugNameField);
drug.mg = GetLockedPtr (AdddrugMgField);
drug.ml = GetLockedPtr (AdddrugMlField);
controlP = GetObjectPtr (AdddrugMcgKgMinPushButton);
drug.mcgkgmin = CtlGetValue (controlP);
//write data to new record. PackDrug resizes recordHdl as needed
then writes everything to the database.
PackDrug (&drug, recordHdl);
DmReleaseRecord(gDataBase, index, true);
}
}
