How are you creating your log file ? I actually have log databases and each entry is a record. Then I simply use the BROWSE( ) function to view it. That gives me the ability to edit, delete, print, etc.

Use a multiline GET with READONLY to view a plain text. It is a MEMO configuration.

hi Tim,

it is not "special" for Logfile

general i want to "look" into "Text" File like a Memo of *.FPT

i also want to use a "Find" and/or "Replace" Dialog for Memo

btw. Memo can also be *.RTF

i do not know how to use #command Syntax and have try

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

      @  3,  3 GET oMGet VAR cMemo ;
              MULTILINE ;
          /* IF(lEdit,NIL,READONLY) */  ;        // this line is wrong
              FONT oFontDefault ;
              COLOR BFcolor, BGcolor ;
              ON CHANGE OnChanged( oMGet, oStatusBar ) ;
              SIZE nHeight - 70, nWidth - 20 OF oWnd PIXEL

how is the right #command Syntax :?:

my Question about EDIT or GET was as i see no big Difference so i´m not sure about it
now i use GET MULTILINE and it seems to work so far ...

hi,

i have to ask again if GET / EDIT MULTILINE under GUI are from "WC_EDIT" :?:

i want to know if EM_* Constant can be used to "change" Position of Cursor in String

i try this

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

   nPosi := hb_at( UPPER( cFind ), UPPER( cMemo ), nStart )
fwlog "suche ... " , cFind,nStart, nPosi
   IF nPosi > 0
      oMGet:nPos := nPosi
      hMemo := oMGet:hWnd
      SendMessage( hMemo, EM_SETSEL, nPosi - 1, nPosi + LEN( cFind ) )
      nStart := nPosi + 1

but it seems not to work and "mark" found Position ...

what i´m doing wrong :?:

greeting,

Jimmy
