Razzak, last evening I took some time to catch up on postings
to rbase_l. I was two weeks behind. Much to my delight, I
discovered the "On Key Press" enhancement. Many of my clients
are former Quickbooks users and they frequently asked me to
duplicate 'fill-in as you type" process that QB uses. Until
now, I had to tell them that I could not duplicate the process.
As a test I modified one of my applications to make use of
the new feature and I am very impressed with the results. I
use the combination of a VAR Edit and a DB Grid to select a
customer from a list of 30,000. Much to my surprise, the
list in the DB Grid refreshes instantaneously as you type. I
thought there would be a delay. It only takes a few lines of
code in the EEP to get lightning fast results. I plan to
create a proc and call this procedure throughout my applications.
THANKS for this very useful enhancement!
John,
Just remember, nothing is impossible!
As you know, my own clients always put me up to the challenge.
Enjoy the productivity with the R:BASE you have always wanted!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
P.S.
Make sure that you are using the latest updates of R:BASE 7.6
and Turbo V-8 for Windows.
