Does anyone have the expression syntax to use Hint Expression in
DBGrid column properties?
Claudine,
Say you would like to define a hint with "Company Name" when you
mouse over the "CustID" cell of DB Grid based on Customer table
in RRBYW14 (Running R:BASE Your Way! Part 14).
In order to achieve that goal, while in form designer:
01. Right-click on DB Grid control | Object Properties | Columns
From the selected list of columns:
Click on CustID | Column Properties
Column Properties (CustID) | Hint Expression
[x] Use Hint Expression
Expression:
Company IN Customer WHERE CustID = CustID
You may also customize Hint Background Color and Hint Font,
if you wish.
Click on [OK] button to save Column Properties
Click on [OK] button to save DB Grid Properties
02. Save the form and click on Run Form button or [Ctrl+F9] to
preview
03. Mouse over on CustID cell and notice the "Company Name" for
each CustID.
Long story short, I cant update my SAT2007 files to the 10/07
update (where a demo for this function is located) because Im
missing the key to remove the previous version
Here's the key for SAT2007:
