Tip of the Day #2: Customizing WALKMENU Time Interval Settings
Supported Versions:
. R:BASE Turbo V-8 for Windows (Build: 8.0.15.30302 or higher)
. R:BASE 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.1.30313 or higher)
. R:BASE C/S:I 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.1.30313 or higher)
Did you know that you can customize the WALKMENU Time Interval
Settings to match your typing speed?
The latest updates (see above for version/builds) of R:BASE
7.6, C/S:I 7.6 and Turbo V-8 for Windows now includes a *new*
Walkmenu Time Interval Setting to control the WALKMENU speed
for CHOOSE, ListBox, ComboBox and Pop-up Menus.
Here's how:
01. Start RBG76, RBGClient76 or RBG8
02. Database Explorer | Main Menu | Settings ...
Select Walkmenu Time Interval ... and enter the value
The time interval value must be specified in milliseconds.
For example:
1000 for 1 second
1500 for 1.5 seconds
The default value is set to 1500 ms.
03. Using the command file or in an EEP, you may also control
the WALKMENU time interval setting by using the PROPERTY
command.
Example:
SET WALKMENU ON
PROPERTY APPLICATION WALKMENUTIMEINTERVAL nnnn
About WALKMENU:
SET WALKMENU ON allows the user to access list item selections
by typing the beginning characters (up to when a match is made)
of their names.
Now you can have your cake and eat it too!
Enjoy and make sure to have fun.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
