Hi Roger

1. The "Seek" Button of the toolbar is NOT active - dimmed

2. TRIGGER clause of DCAPPEDIT not firing

3. The Horizontal Grid lines of DCAPPBROWSE not showing

4. The FONT clause of DCAPPEDIT only affect GET boxes and Field descriptions are NOT affected.

5. It is possible to access the underlining xbase parts of DCAPPEDIT ?

Thanks.

Joe.

I was hoping I would never get a question about DCAPPEDIT and DCAPPBROWSE.

I have never used them in an application and I think you may be the first.

This is very old Xbase++ stuff that I decided to support in eXpress++ and wish I had not.

I haven't even looked at the code since 1999.

Do you have to use this?

This is just a command interface to the Xbase++ AppEdit() and AppBrowse() functions.

Thanks Roger

If it works as intended, it is a great tool for simple and fast data capture.

Joe.
