[RBG7-L] - RE: DBGrid

[Gunnar Ekblad]

I have been following this thread with some interest from 7.5 point of view I must confess I have not been able to utilize the predefined values or the lookup list. I have tried but not figured it out. Has anyone a sample.I feel this a great thing that I for the moment cant use due to lack of understanding/knowledge     Gunnar Ekblad   -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: rbg7-l@rbase.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Dennis Fleming Skickat: den 10 november 2005 17:51 Till: RBG7-L Mailing List Ämne: [RBG7-L] - RE: DBGrid   Thanks John/Sami, I had their popup selection displayed in a screen variable and then they could copy/paste into the desired row/column.Too much of a kludge and so I'll spiffy it up a bit.

Then the users can just press Ctrl-V to paste it.   SET CLIPBOARD .variablename   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sami Aaron Software Management Specialists 913-915-1971 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________ From: rbg7-l@rbase.com [ mailto:rbg7-l@rbase.com] On Behalf Of Dennis Fleming Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 4:37 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - DBGrid RB 7.1 I moved a processing screen from a scrolling region to dbgrid and it has really help smooth the feathers on some of our users. Slow hardware/networking can make good s/w look bad and vice versa. I've lost the popup capability in the rows/cells where the user can pick a value. I now have a button outside the dbgrid where they can view a list and type in a value. Is there an easy way for them to copy/paste from the list into the desired cell/row?
