HOW TO GET BROWSE COLUMN HEADING AT RUNTIME ?

[unixkd]

#include "dcdialog.ch"

FUNCTION MyBrowse()

LOCAL GetList[0], GetOptions, oBrowse
LOCAL aDir := Directory()

@ 0, 0 DCBROWSE oBrowse DATA aDir SIZE 20,10 FIT

DCBROWSECOL ELEMENT 1 HEADER 'File Name' WIDTH 10 PARENT oBrowse
DCBROWSECOL ELEMENT 2 HEADER 'File Size' WIDTH 11 PARENT oBrowse
DCBROWSECOL ELEMENT 3 HEADER 'File Date' WIDTH 12 PARENT oBrowse
DCBROWSECOL ELEMENT 4 HEADER 'File Time' WIDTH 13 PARENT oBrowse

DCREAD GUI FIT TITLE 'Zebra Colors on Browse'

RETURN nil

In the sample program above:

1. How can I retrieve the Column Headers i.e. 'File Name', 'File Size' from the oBrowse object at runtime ?
2. How can I retrieve the Column Width i.e. 10, 11, 12, 13 from the oBrowse object at runtime ?

oBrowse:GetColumn(nColNo):Heading:GetCell(1) -> Column header

oBrowse:GetColumn(nColNo):CurrentSize()[1] -> Column width (in pixel)

Thanks tom

Now concerning the column with that returns PIXEL, which function can I use to convert PIXEL to DECIMAL ?

[Tom]

Multiplication.

By default, a "column" has 7 pixel, a "line" has 20 - in eXpress++. As long as you didn't change this in your app.
