Tip of the Day #5: About Enhanced Note/BLOB Viewer/Editor

Section: Built-in Tools
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

The enhanced Note/BLOB Viewer/Editor includes four tab options
to manage data appropriately:

. [Images]

. [RTF]

. [Note/VarChar]
  http://www.rbase.com/rbg76/NoteBLOBViewerEditor_NoteVarChar.jpg
. [Multipage Images]

So, how is the appropriate tab of the Note/BLOB Viewer/Editor
brought up when double-clicking on the NOTE, VARCHAR, BITNOTE,
or VARBIT data type column in Data Browser/DB Grid and Forms?

Here's the logic behind it:

01. When working with Data Browser/Editor and DB Grids

Data Type       Note/BLOB Viewer/Editor Tab Page

NOTE            Note/VarChar
VARCHAR Images, RTF, Note/VarChar, Multipage Images
BITNOTE Images, RTF, Note/VarChar, Multipage Images
VARBIT          Images, RTF, Note/VarChar, Multipage Images

For image types of DCX, TIFF and GIF, the default tab page
is set to Multipage Images.

02. When working with Form Controls in Forms:

Form Control    Note/BLOB Viewer/Editor Tab Page

DB Memo Note/VarChar
DB Rich Edit    RTF
DB Image        Images, Multipage Images

For image types of DCX, TIFF and GIF, the default tab page
is set to Multipage Images.

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
