Contradicting one of the docs -- http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/designer-manual-8.html -- but following the Qt documentation (both should say the same thing, but...) I had to use the 'beforeInsert' handler instead of the 'primeInsert'. At least with pyQt. I don't know if it works correctly with a C++ program, but I suspect it does. (I suspect why pyQt doesn't work, but I'm not sure. I think it isn't expecting a return value and is discarding the changes. I dunno how to make it work in the same way -- and scope -- that the C++ version does...) On the other hand, this brought me a new problem: (py?)Qt decides for itself what SQL command to generate, no matter what button I click. If I have some data on the screen, change it and click 'Insert', it generates an UPDATE SQL instruction. If the cursor is positioned in an invalid position, though, the INSERT SQL instruction is generated correctly. This causes me a problem because there are redundant actions for both 'Insert' and 'Update' buttons that are automatically generated by Qt Designer (actually KDevDesigner)... I'm doing the insertion in two 'superposing' methods: first I position the cursor in an invalid position with the 'New Record' button I had to add and then I insert it into the database with the 'Insert' button KDevDesigner created for me... Should I remove the 'Update' button and keep just the 'Insert' one? Or is this a bug somewhere? Should I be doing the insertion in two handlers? I'll be "playing" more with this today...
