Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Checkboxes on form with a region


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
  SAVEROW

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

LABEL Done
  RECALC VARIABLES
  SKIP TO vHwTxt
  SAVEROW

RETURN

7. Now you can program using the results just like a real checkbox.
