From a listbox view, I’d like to open the input form for a record but not allow the user to change any info. I tried using DISPLAY RECORD instead of MODIFY RECORD, but it just displays the form and immediately closes. If I set the table to read only before loading the record, MODIFY RECORD just shows an alert complaining that the record is locked, and doesn’t show the input form. So I set the form fields to be not enterable, but while text can be selected, it can’t be copied.
I thought about using DIALOG, but that would require specifying the input form name in a variable higher up the call chain, because while we can use FORM SET INPUT to set the input form for a table, there is no accompanying "Form Get Input” command that I can find. I know this could probably be plugged into form storage instead of a process variable in V17, but I’m not on v17 yet and logically that’s not much different than using a process variable, we’re still introducing a separate place to store some data that we should be able to get the same way we specify it. Is there a convenient way to mimic the ease of DISPLAY SELECTION / MODIFY SELECTION to allow read/only or read/write access when using a listbox? Is DIALOG the only option? Also, is there a way to make a field non-enterable but allow text to be copied?
