Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Capture DBComboBox value in a variable
Claudine & Alistair,
I never got to try the "in and out" technique to see if the new value would
register and allow itself to be scooped up into a variable without leaving the
form or even the field. Apparently, during the night, RBase felt sorry for me,
had a change of heart and decided to acknowledge my On-Click EEP where I
GETPROPERTY cSTATUS TEXTVALUE vSTATUS to refresh the variable with the new
value. Now my button routine will only run when I want it to, and there is no
need to save, exit and come back in. Yay! Nobody breathe.
Thanks
Fred

Fred,
This is just wild speculation - if you are only selecting an item from the
drop-down list has it been "remembered" before you leave the combo-box? In
other words, do you need to move the focus off and back again?. Maybe even put
a (hidden) VarEdit on the form for the same variable?
Regards,
Alastair.

Hi Claudine and thanks
I have a routine on a form button that I only want to execute if vSTATUS
= M. Any other value for vSTATUS will be rejected and produces a warning PAUSE
message.
I want the user to be able to change the value of STATUS to M via the
combo box, and have the change reflected immediately in the variable vSTATUS.
Then the routine can run as intended. All of this must take place while the
user is still in the form.
I am familiar with GETPROPERTY and PROPERTY but I haven't been able to
capture the changed value into a variable while still in the form. I've tried
all the EEPs with no success. The question is: can the new value be made
available while still in the form? I don't want the user to have to exit and
come back in to run the button routine.
Hey, thanks for your help. This is really a lot of fun!
Fred

Fred,
You capture the value with the GETPROPERTY
GETPROPERTY <Component ID> TEXTVALUE 'varname'
And you change the value with the PROPERTY
PROPERTY <Component ID> TEXTVALUE 'value' for a DBLookupComboBox
Or use a Variable LookupComboBox to return the user's choice.
I'm not sure this is what you are trying to do however. Can you explain?
Claudine

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Capture DBComboBox value in a variable
I have a DB LookupComboBox in a form. I can easily capture the starting
value in a variable. I need to be able to change the value and capture the
new value while I'm still in the form. Can I do that and, if so, how? I've
tried every way but the right way.
Thanks
Fred
