[dabo-users] Warning Python noob needs help

I first want to say thanks for the wonderful framework. It has allowed me to

achieve a small program needed to help track something with my job duties,

with next to nil programming experience.

That said, I need some help achieving the following, if it's even possible.

Please note that this works fine as is but I would like to add/pull one

piece of info into this info dialog box to make it easier on the end user.

After successfully adding a new record to the database, I let the user know

with the following:

def afterSave(self):

# This will only get called if the save succeeds

dabo.ui.info("Record successfully saved.", title="Success")

self.new()

self.BuilderName.setFocus()

As the MySQL auto increment number is used as a number that gets put on

accompanying paper work I would like to extend the message to include the

last inserted ID.

I read this thread on *getLastInsertID *

* *but can wrap my head around getting it in the info dialog so I get

something like:*

*def afterSave(self):

# This will only get called if the save succeeds

dabo.ui.info("Record successfully saved. Your new number is DC10- ID OF

LAST INSERTED RECORD HERE ", title="Success")

self.new()

self.BuilderName.setFocus()

Just to make things even harder on myself if the ID is a single digit (ie:

1) it would need to have 2 zero's in front of it to give me 001

if it's 2 digits (ie: 12) it would have to have a single zero in front to

give me 012. And just give the last row ID if it's 3 digits (ie: 356)

We will never have anymore than 999 entries.

Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank

Carey
