Easy there, Kurt. I'm not completely rejecting setting up grids in code; I type much faster than I click. :-) Just trying to point out that there's a lot of tedious code to write if Gene starts that way. BTW I think you can just drag a DBF and drop on a form to create a grid. Your advice to use the DE is more controlled, of course. You can also have a play with the grid builder which can also be a good exercise.
Lately I do find myself doing a lot of grid manipulation in code especially when setting the recordsource at runtime but the initial creation is so much easier with the GUI. Gene, getting your head wrapped around BINDEVENTS, if you haven't done so already, will also be really important if you're going to get into the newer grid features. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt @ VR-FX Sent: Friday, April 19, 2013 4:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Using Grids / Fwd: Trouble with ProFox Gene - I totally agree w/RK! Creating a Grid on a Form via Visual Design is really the best way to go - at least in my opinion. And, you can do it in an interesting an intuitive way. Create a Form. Right click in the Form and open the Data Environment. Add a DBF to the D. Env. - and, now - with DBF & its fields displayed in the D.E. - select a number of the field by clicking - and I think holding down shift. Then - simply Drag all those selected fields onto the Form - and you instantly have a Grid that's been populated with the fields that you need! -K- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD0442190B3786F@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
