Hi Giles,
Yes, you have to use a command string to generate your complete dialog
statement and then run the command statement at the end. Then you can generate
as many fields as you like:
Dim sCommand as String
sCommand = "Dialog Title "+CHR$(34)+"Please fill in DATA fields"+CHR$(34)
'CHR$(34) = "
Ddist = 10
For i = 1 to x
sCommand = sCommand + " control popupmenu ID "+i+" title from variable Y
Position 100, "+ddist
Ddist = ddist + 15
next x
...
Run command sCommand
Best regards

Emne: [MI-L] Drop-down boxes to populate tables
Hello there,
I am an experienced MapInfo user and have just purchased MapBasic. I need to
come up with an easy way of creating custom proformas with drop down boxes to
poulate tables in the field on tablets. I have been looking at the 'control
popupmenu' function within the 'dialog' function, does anyone have any ideas?
I have tried to do it by looping x number of times and adding a new drop down
box for eah loop:
i.e.
X = number of columns
Y = dropdown list string
ddist = the distance down from the top of the dialog box of each drop down box
dialog
title "Please fill in DATA fields"
Ddist=ddist+10
'then the loop
For x = 1 to x
control popupmenu
ID x
title from variable Y
Position 100, ddist
next x
This doesn't seem to work am I barking up the wrong tree completely? Is there
a simple way of building data input boxes for tables?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Giles
