xBrowse questions from newbie
Posted: Fri Apr 26, 2019 03:43 PM

Just starting to use FW to convert an old DOS program and have a couple of initial questions on xBrowse

Is there a way of splitting the column headers over two rows

e.g. "Stock Code" & "Cost Price"

to display as headers
Stock Cost
Code Price

I would also like to display entries for logical fields as "Y" or "N"

Many thanks
Peter

you can see yunus.prg for create xbrowse or if you post the structure of dbf I can help you to build it

Since from 1991/1992 ( fw for clipper Rel. 14.4 - Momos)

I use : FiveWin for Harbour March-April 2024 - Harbour 3.2.0dev (harbour_bcc770_32_20240309) - Bcc7.70 - xMate ver. 1.15.3 - PellesC - mail: silvio[dot]falconi[at]gmail[dot]com

to answer Your questions :

Is there a way of splitting the column headers over two rows
e.g. "Stock Code" & "Cost Price"
to display as headers
Stock Cost
Code Price

I would also like to display entries for logical fields as "Y" or "N"

syntax-sample :
( completed with header-splitting ( next post from Mr. Rao ) and shows
the different results of logical field-syntax )

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

HEADERS "Recno()", "  Last" + CRLF + "( Index )", "First", "Age", "HireDate", "Married" 

WITH OBJECT oBrw
     // header linefeed
     :nHeaderLines := 2

     // images for YES / NO
     :Married:SetCheck( { c_path1 + "Checkon.bmp", c_path1 + "Checkoff.bmp" }, EDIT_GET )       
     // or a checkbox
     :Married:SetCheck()   
     
     // group-header 
     :SetGroupHeader( "Name", 1, 3 ) // 'Recno()', 'FIRST', 'LAST'
     :SetGroupHeader( "Data", 4, 6 ) // 'AGE', 'HIREDATE', 'MARRIED'

     :CreateFromCode()
END

regards
Uwe

Specify the header as "Stock Code" + CRLF + "Cost Price"

Specify
oBrw:nHeaderLines := 2
