On one of my forms (with Turbo V-8), I have a DB Grid with a memo field.
I can double-click on it to bring up the BLOB Editor, but the [SHIFT][F2]
function key only puts the text "(Memo)" in the field rather than bringing
up the editor.
How can I get the BLOB editor to pop-up by using a key or keys on a
keyboard?
The data entry people who will be using this form work via keyboard as much
as possible and try to use the mouse as little as possible.
Diane,
Due to the graphical nature of Windows version, the majority of operations
are intended and can be performed solely with the mouse. Using double-click
with mouse is much quicker than [Shift+F2], IMHO.
Let's teach the data entry people how to use mouse <g>.
Having said that, try the following steps to get the R:BASE BLOB Editor to
pop-up when using the [Shift+F2] key on memo field of the DB Grid control.
01. Start R:BASE Turbo V-8 for Windows (Build: 8.0.20.30214 or higher ...)
02. CONNect the database and then run the form with Memo field on DB Grid
EDIT USING formname WHERE ... ORDER BY ...
03. Set the focus on Memo field of the DB Grid
04. Now try [Shift + F2] key
Notice the R:BASE BLOB Editor with existing data, if any.
That's all there is to it!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
