how can i "optimize" Column wide (STRETCHCOL_WIDEST)
:nStretchCol := STRETCHCOL_LAST
Stretches the last column to fit the GridWidth
:nStretchCol := STRETCHCOL_WIDEST
Further stretches the widest character column to fit the GridWidth.
:nStretchCol := nCol
Similarly, stretches the column whose nCreationOrder is the same as nCol.
how can i SET Cursor into 5th Column (also when outside Screen)
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
oBrw:nSelCol := 5
oBrw:RefreshCurrent()
[/col]
or use :GoToCol( oCol )
oCol can be creationorder / header / column object
[code]
oBrw:GoToCol( 5 )
But we can go to only a column which is already visible on the screen. (not hidden or outside the grid width)

oBrw:GoRight() // one column to the right

oBrw:GoRightMost() // go to last column

hi,

after Answer of Method
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
    oBrw:GoRight() // one column to the right
   oBrw:GoRightMost() // go to last column
i have search for "more"

there is a
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
METHOD GoToCol( oCol ) CLASS TXBrowse
but no Sample how to use it ...

it seem this CODE work
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
   oBro:GoToCol(oBro:aCols[nPosi])
---

when switch ORDSETFOCUS() or SET INDEX TO i try to find Column in XBROWSE
when have NO "own" Header it will display Name of FIELD in Header

in this case this CODE will work where i use INDEXKEY() or OrdKey() to look which FIELD is used
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
STATIC FUNCTION FindColumnHeader( oBro )
LOCAL aHeaders := {}
LOCAL nPosi    := 0
LOCAL n, cSeek, aToken

   aToken := AtInside( "+", INDEXKEY() )  // -> hb_ATokens()

   // get rid of Function like UPPER() in IndexKey() 
   cSeek := StripFunc( aToken[ 1 ] )

   FOR n := 1 TO LEN( oBro:aCols )
      AADD( aHeaders, oBro:aCols[ n ] :cHeader )
   NEXT
   // seek in Header if FIELD match
   nPosi := ASCAN( aHeaders, { | x | x = cSeek } )
   IF nPosi > 0
      // jump to Column 
      oBro:GoToCol(oBro:aCols[nPosi])
   ENDIF

RETURN nPosi
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
STATIC FUNCTION StripFunc( cSeek )
LOCAL cRet := UPPER( cSeek )
LOCAL aToken

   cRet := STRTRAN( cRet, "UPPER(", "" )
   cRet := STRTRAN( cRet, "DTOS(", "" )
   cRet := STRTRAN( cRet, "STRZERO(", "" )
   cRet := STRTRAN( cRet, "STR(", "" )

   cRet := STRTRAN( cRet, ")", "" )

   IF "->" $ cRet
     aToken := AtInside( "->", cRet )
     cRet := aToken[LEN(aToken)]
   ENDIF

   IF "," $ cRet
     aToken := AtInside( ",", cRet )
     cRet := aToken[1]
   ENDIF

RETURN cRet
p.s. what is better to use INDEXKEY() or OrdKey() :?:

SET ORDER TO TAG "CITY"
nCol := AScan( oBrw:aCols, { |oCol| oCol:cSortOrder == OrdSetFocus() } )
? nCol
oCol := oBrw:aCols[ nCol ]
? oCol:nCreationOrder, oCol:cHeader, c:cExpr
// or even better
XBROWSER oCol
Even if cHeader is different from the field name, oCol:cExpr contains the field name.

Now there is a short-cut.
Instead of writing this long code:
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
nCol := AScan( oBrw:aCols, { |oCol| oCol:cSortOrder == OrdSetFocus() } )
oCol := oBrw:aCols[ nCol ]
We can simply write
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
oCol := oBrw:oCol( "cSortOrder", OrdSetFocus() )
XBROWSER oCol

STATIC FUNCTION StripFunc( cSeek )
XBrowse automatically uses similar logic to indentify which INDEX/ORDER to be used for which column and stores the INDEXNAME in the data oCol:cSortOrder, while initially building the browse.
XBrowse uses this information to do AutoSort

what about Function in Indexkey() like STRZERO() :?:

it does work when have FIELD only but fail when have Function(FIELD), or :?:

hi,

FUNCTION FindColumnHeader() is NOT for "increment" Seek, it is to place Cursor on Header which meet IndexKey()

i can´t find e.g. STRZERO, in RddIncrSeek(), of XBROWSE ... but it seems to work ,,, how can it work ... hm

Do you want to find the column object that is currently sorted on the ordsetfocus() ?

oBrw:oSortCol --> Currently sorted column obect. i.e., the column sorted on the ordsetfocus()

We can now get anything

oBrw:oSortCol:cHeader

oBrw:oSortCol:cExpr // field name

With XBrowse, most of the times, we do not have to write any special code.

it work when have "only" FIELD Name but seems not when have Function "in" INDEXKEY() / Ordkey()
so i "strip" all of String to get FIELD Name "only"

---

more Question :

how is the Syntax to use "Header - click" to SET Order / TAG :?:

in METHOD SetOrder( lSort ) i found OrdDescend()
how does OrdDescend() work :?:

when usig OrdWildSeek() in XBROWSE how to "continue" :?:
i did not found a 2nd OrdWildSeek() or a loop

I suggest this function, which can handle index key of any complexity.
If more than one field is used in the key expression, it returns the field name which occurs first in the key.
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
function FieldInKey( cKey )

   local aStruct := DBSTRUCT()
   local n  := 1
   local cToken, cSep, nAt

   cKey  := Upper( cKey )
   cKey  := StrTran( StrTran( cKey, "->", '!' ), '=', '!' )
   cKey  := CharRem( " ", cKey )

   do while !Empty( cToken := TOKEN( cKey, nil, n, nil, nil, @cSep ) )
      if !( cSep $ "!(" )
         if ( nAt := AScan( aStruct, { |a| a[ 1 ] = cToken } ) ) > 0
            return aStruct[ nAt, 1 ]
         endif
      endif
      n++
   enddo

return ""
Please test with any complex expression and see if it fails.
