This seems like it ought to be a simple thing to code but after many hours of trail and error I can't get it to work. For example, I would like to break into a DO WHILE loop by pressing the ESC key. The loop might start: DO WHILE INKEY() <> K_ESC or something similar. INKEY() apparently does not wor...

Hi Roger,

In the past, I used some path and/or procedure to view available bitmaps and their names (e.g. BITMAP_TOP_1) for use as a caption on a DCPUSHBUTTON. Now I can't find how that lookup was done. Please refresh my bad, bad memory. Thank you.

Is there a way to have more than 1 line of text in a browse row? I have a need to have at least 2 lines of text in a browse row so that I can give a full explanation of what a particular selection involves.

Hi Roger. Thank you very much. That was too easy. Fred

I have a 'main' program which sets DC_BrowseSort(aSort) where the last element in aSort is the header background color (in my case GRA_CLR_RED) for all DCBROWSECOL objects which have a SORT clause. Is there a way to show a preselected header in DCBROWSE such that it already includes the up and down ...

John thank you for your prompt reply. I'll see if I can grasp what you said.

I'm way behind the curve on current capabilities but I thought it might be possible to enter records for a database via a browse. I've tried separately adding the BROWSE command and the DC_BROWSE() function and DCSTD.CH in my include list and project file but the program will not compile. Is this th...

Roger, I think we're on the same page. I would be very satisfied with a single BUTTSIZE declaration to size all buttons on a single row. Perhaps the absence of the BUTTSIZE clause could mean revert to the current display of stacked buttons. I'm really just looking for a button that looks more like t...

Roger,

Thank you for looking at that. I subsequently found that DCCOMBOBOX will do what I want.

Fred

Roger, I guess I replied a little too soon. The DC_GetComboImmediate(.t.) immediately places the selected combo item in the Get box (so far so good) but does not remove the combo box itself hence requiring two clicks anyway. Can you retest this with something you have? I could probably make up some ...
