Remembering DataWindow retrieval arguments

In previous versions of DataWindow .NET, when you specified retrieval arguments for a DataWindow object in the Specify Retrieval Arguments dialog box, the retrieval argument values that you specified were not remembered by the DataWindow object.

To enhance usability, the Specify Retrieval Arguments dialog box now has a Remember retrieval arguments check box. When the Remember retrieval arguments check box is selected, the data values are saved and the check box remains selected when you press the OK button. Clearing the Remember retrieval arguments check box and clicking OK removes the data values. This feature is only available in the development environment.

NoteNot for nested and Composite DataWindows You cannot use the Remember Retrieval Arguments feature in a nested or Composite DataWindow, so the Remember Retrieval Arguments check box is grayed out.

In a new DataWindow, the Remember retrieval arguments check box is disabled until you save the DataWindow and name it. You must close and reopen the DataWindow object or the Preview view to enable the checkbox.
