[RBG7-L] - Re: GetProperty TEXTVALUE problem

[Alastair Burr]

Thanks to everybody who responded.   It would appear that the "best" method is to pre-define the variable for the value to be retained in and to use quotes around it:   In the calling program or one of the form start EEPs: SET VAR vTemp TEXT = NULL   In the using EEP: GETPROPERTY IDV_SelName TEXTVALUE 'vTemp' And now I have a confession to make: I was trying to use a Variable Edit instead of a DBEdit. Naturally, changing it solved my problem. However, the obvious question arises: is this technique to be available for other controls soon?   Apologies & regards, Alastair.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Alastair Burr To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 12:21 AM Subject: [RBG7-L] - GetProperty TEXTVALUE problem Please could somebody give me the definite method for getting the value of a DBEdit value using GETPROPERTY?   I've tried defining the variable for the result first, not defining it, using quotes around the name - every variation that I can think of but I can't get it to work. This is my current version:   CLEAR VAR vTemp SET VAR vTemp TEXT GETPROPERTY IDV_SelName TEXTVALUE 'vTemp' Thanks in advance, Regards, Alastair.   ---------------------------------- A D B Burr, St. Albans, UK. ---------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------
