Here is some code I use on before start of my main menu form
CLEAR VAR vins
SET V vins = (CVAL('INSERT'))
IF vins = 'ON' THEN
SET V vins = 'INS ON'
ELSE
SET V vins = 'INS OFF'
ENDIF
I then display the result at the status bar at the bottom of the mainmenu
In the status bar I include right to left
Date time, Numlock, Caps that are standard for statusbar, then to left of
that I Place the variable vins as above

Ämne: [RBASE-L] - Re: Typeover or Insert Off
Thanks, Razzak, and great tools which we've used in our apps. However, in
this case, we preload some text into the DB Edit object as a template for
data entry. The user then places the cursor within the text string and plug
in some values to overwrite a portion of the template, but, I'm unable to
set overwrite on and they often forget to press the insert key, hence their
annoyance and my question.
Best regards,
Brad Davidson

Brad,
A few options to achieve your goal using the DB or Variable
Control PROPERTY commands:
01.
PROPERTY <Component ID> AUTOSELECT 'TRUE'
Determines whether all the text in the DB or Variable Edit
Control is automatically selected when the control gets focus.
02.
PROPERTY <Component ID> FIRSTCHAR 'TRUE'
Specifies whether the cursor will appear in the DB or Variable
component starting position.
03.
PROPERTY <Component ID> LASTCHAR 'TRUE'
Specifies whether the cursor will appear in the DB or Variable
component ending position.
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
