Would it be possible if the Rbase dream team produced a small
document describing all the (form) controls that can be used?
I.e. The Control properties is an excellent document, but what
I am sometimes struggling with is picking the right control
for the job. So any guidelines on usage and would be helpful.
Maybe even cross-reference to the sample provided (is that to
much to ask?).
Frank,
01.
Actually, the very first sample database (ConcComp) bundled
with R:BASE 7.0/7.1 includes sample forms with all controls
describing the use of each control by their category, such
as the following forms:
. StandardControls, describing the use of Standard Controls
. DatabaseControls, describing the use of Database Controls
. VariableControls, describing the use of Variable Controls
. AdditionalControls, describing the use of Additional Controls
. InternalControls, describing the use of Internet Controls
. FileListBox, describing the use of File System Controls
There are over 90 forms to demonstrate the use of form
controls in ConComp sample database.
02. The other place to look is at the RBG7 Help file.
HELP | How To | Forms | Form Controls ...
03. R:Tutorial http://www.RTutorial.com
04. R:BASE Sample Databases (RRBYW - RRBYW12)
Having mentioned that, it would be nice to have a comprehensive
document/book/tutorial to explain "everything" about each
control used in Form, Label and Report Designers and a quick
reference to mention sample form, label or report in RRBYW
series of sample applications.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
