Mendix Rule one : forget IDs etc. They are no longer needed.
An Order is associated to a Customer. Make sure the *-side is at the order and the 1-side at the customer: Customers can place multiple orders.
In a Customer form (DataView Customer) create a Datagrid and choose the association between Customer and Order. Done.
If you have a list of orders, and create a new order add a dropdown to select a customer. Better create a select form because the number of customers is to big for a list.
You can follow the tutorials for this, might be a good idea.
Edit: Most widgets are placed in a table.
Kevin,
I'll take a stab at your initial question:
To get this to run, either delete the New/Edit buttons on the order datagrid within the customer window or have Mendix generate a form for you.
Hope that works - Mike
Thank you for your answer.
It just doesn't seem to work here.
The domain model is correct and as you described.
I also have the select/search box as you described. But the association doesn't work.
In which of the tutorials is this explained? I did all of the pizza mario ones, but this wasn't in them as far as I can remember.
Ah. Finally. After 3 hours of searching. I finally found out I had to add a row, otherwise you cannot add a data grid.
I am still trying to find out how to use a list of customers.
