Ok here is what i came up. I know it can be done in 7.0 but I had a need in
6.5++. Here is what I came up with. It really just a look alike checkbox but i
thought it was kind of a cool method
Type 1 = Putting a check box inside the region on the form
1. Add a extra column to the table that the region is based off of
2. Create a matching var by adding a var to form
a. vHwVar2 = HwVar2
3. Put that var inside the regions and use these properties and some
a. No border
b. 3-D on
c. Font WindDings size 10
d. Size the Column to look square
4. Go to your start button - Run - type CHARMAP change the font to wingdings
and find a char that works for you
a. I used � that puts a nice little x in the var. You could also use �
which
a nice little check mark on the var. Play with it you will
find what you
like
5. Add an eep to the "on entry into:" part of the var
a.WCheck.EEP USING 1
6. Click edit and and some code like this
SET VAR vCheck = .%1
IF vCheck = 1 THEN
IF vHwVar2 IS NULL THEN
SET VAR vHwVar2 = '�'
UPDATE CustomerRMA SET +
HWVar2 = .vHWVar2 +
WHERE ???????????
ELSE
SET VAR vHwVar2 = NULL
UPDATE CustomerRMA SET +
HWVar2 = .vHWVar2 +
WHERE ???????????
ENDIF
GOTO DONE
ENDIF
LABEL Done
RECALC VARIABLES
SKIP TO vHwTxt

7. Now you can program using the results just like a real checkbox.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type 2 = Form with region but need a checkbox outside the region.
1. Creat the form with 2 tables 1 with real data and 1 dummy table
2. Create var's to hold the check box based on the the dummy table or create
global var's when entering the form
3. Put the var's on the form with these properties
a. No border
b. 3-D on
c. Font WindDings size 10
d. Size the var to look square
4. Go to your start button - Run - type CHARMAP change the font to wingdings
and find a char that works for you
a. I used � that puts a nice little x in the var. You could also use �
which
a nice little check mark on the var
5. Add an eep to the "on entry into:" part of the var
a.WCheck.EEP USING 1
6. Click edit and and some code like this
SET VAR vCheck = .%1
IF vCheck = 1 THEN
SET VAR vHwVar2 = '�'
GOTO DONE
ENDIF
IF vCheck = 2 THEN
SET VAR vHwOr = '�'
SET VAR vHwAnd = NULL
GOTO DONE
ENDIF
IF vCheck = 3 THEN
SET VAR vHwOr = NULL
SET VAR vHwAnd = '�'
GOTO DONE
ENDIF
