A Question of ListBoxes...
by Kurt Wendt 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hey there Folks, So - I will admit - I have not worked much with a ListBox in the past. I think what I did work with - and this was like 2 or 3 years ago - was the ComboBox. Also - at my current gig (which they are converting me into a fulltime employee here at the end of March!) - I have almost no chance to work on interface design or changes. Which kinda Sucks - as that's really my favorite part of working in VFP. Instead - it's mostly data processing within the Apps, and working with SQL. As such - I'm glad to finally have an interface mod project that I can finally sink my teeth into. Anyway - in this particular app there is a screen with a big ListBox. And, for the current project - there are several things I need to look into. The first has to do with the layout and how the user interacts with the ListBox. In 1 or more other screens - there are Grids - and the request is really to make the ListBox act more like the Grids. For instance - they want to be able to Re-Size the widths of columns. Currently, the one ListBox displays 9 columns and up to 11 rows. They also want to Sort by any of the columns. I suspect if I give them some way to pick which field that they want to sort by - that I can simply issue a Refresh of the ListBox to re-display the data in a new sort order. So - I'm curious to know if anyone has a suggestion about re-sizing the columns at run-time. I know that programmatically it CAN be done according to the online help - by updating of the ColumnWidths Property. It's just a matter of what control I give to the user to enable this to happen. By the way - the reason I believe that a ListBox was used is because they want to be able to Select Multiple items at a shot. That leads me to the other problem. You see - they need to select items from one ListBox - that then gets Moved from that list into another ListBox on the same screen. The problem is - they say that sometimes it moves items that were NOT Selected. Has anyone heard of this particular problem before with the ListBox???

FRIENDS !! Thank you all for your comments. I appreciate it. I decided to post/ask my query because in the past 3 months I've also had some major issues. I cannot identify the cause and I'll briefly describe it here. I have a form with a grid. The controlsource is a free standing table. (Clients table called Windebs) The form has a command group with several buttons. Example, "Show Transactions" The click event has code such as lcclient=clcode select * from winhst where client=lcclient into curs temp I end up with an error "variable clcode not found" It is as though the underlying table is no longer Windebs, which is nuts because I did not "select" another table anywhere. Now, I've seen similar behavior when Anti virus software is locking the tables, or extremely slow network connections, but it just started happening about 3 months ago, and only with "some" customers. At one time I thought it was only on XP pc's but that theory is also disproved. At this stage I'm slowly trawling through my code and changing Click events to sele windebs lcclient=clcode select * from winhst where client=lcclient in to curs temp On Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 7:22 AM, Gene Wirchenko <genew(a)telus.net> wrote: > At 08:54 2016-01-27, Alan Bourke <alanpbourke(a)fastmail.fm> wrote: > Someone (attributio lost) wrote: > >> > I still use Hungarian notation too, despite Microsoft telling us years >> > ago that it's no longer acceptable style.

Thanks for having a look Gene, but I don't think you've seen my code correctly. Clcode is a field in the Windebs table It is the "currently" selected table (or table which is the controlsource of the grid) The error fires on the line that says "lcclient=clcode" On Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 11:57 AM, Gene Wirchenko <genew(a)telus.net> wrote: > At 12:22 2016-01-27, Sytze de Boer <sytze.kiss(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> FRIENDS !! >> Thank you all for your comments.

In the example above, you did a select, and the current alias will be that of the cursor. The cursor will have the structure of winhst, not windebs. Did you open a table and forget to select 0 before doing so? I made that mistake just this morning, and my code threw an error when I tried to close the table that got opened over. >Now, I've seen similar behavior when Anti virus software is locking the >tables, or extremely slow network connections, but it just started >happening about 3 months ago, and only with "some" customers. >At one time I thought it was only on XP pc's but that theory is also >disproved. > >At this stage I'm slowly trawling through my code and changing Click events >to > >sele windebs >lcclient=clcode >select * from winhst where client=lcclient in to curs temp Due to the chaoticness of methods being fired, it can be somewhat unclear what code has just executed.

Alias()
by Sytze de Boer 27 Jan '16

I do the following in one of my modules sele 909 use (ltable) alias Junk1 Excl If I issue wait window alias(), it returns Junk1 If I use (ltable) alias "Junk1" Excl, it returns Junk1 as well Is this normal? I ask because I have a client who consistently ends up with an error variable code not found when I know for sure the table has a field called Code, and I am trying to confirm the underlying table is indeed Junk1 -- Kind regards, Sytze de Boer --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
