Tip of the Day: Disabling Double Click for DB/VAR Memo Controls

Section: DB/Variable Memo Controls in Form Designer
Supported Versions:
 . R:BASE 7.6 (Build 7.6.2.31211 or higher) for Windows
 . R:BASE (C/S:I) 7.6 (Build 7.6.2.31211 or higher) for Windows
 . R:BASE Turbo (Build 7.6.2.31211 or higher) for Windows

When double clicking on any NOTE or BLOB (VARBIT, VARCHAR)
controls in forms, an integrated Note/BLOB Viewer/Editor is
used to manage the plain text, formatted text and images
stored as BLOBs.

However, for some reason, if you wish to disable the Note/BLOB
Viewer/Editor when double clicked, you may use a *new* option
of the Object Property or the PROPERTY command to achieve such
objective.

Here's how:

01. Form Designer | DB Memo Control or Variable Memo Control
    Object Properties | Properties

    Notice the additional option:  [ ] Disable Double Click

    The default is un-checked. (see DB Memo Object Properties)

    http://www.rbase.com/rbg76/DBMemoObjectProperties.jpg

    Checking this option will not bring up the Note/BLOB
    Viewer/Editor when using the double click.

02. You may also use the following PROPERTY command to disable
    the double click for DB/Variable Memo controls:

    PROPERTY <DBVARMemoControlCompID> DISABLEDOUBLECLICK 'TRUE'
    RETURN

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
