Re: Best way to check if a Field is a label?

Still catching up on my list emails, so a little behind again. I use a virtual property writable to identify user input fields. It test not just for locktext but also for traversalon and autohilite. getprop writable a virtual field property -- writable = true if locktext =

Re: Best way to check if a Field is a label?

I go one better. I label all my fields “fold” and the name of the database table column I want to associate with it. I then have 2 commands: Populate and Extract. Populate will take the array passed to it and fill all the fields on the card with the matching data from the array. Extract, as you

HAH! Fold. Seriously. I hate auto correct. It’s “fld”. Bob S On Jul 10, 2015, at 14:25 , Bob Sneidar bobsnei...@iotecdigital.commailto:bobsnei...@iotecdigital.com wrote: I label all my fields “fold” and the name of the database table column I want to associate with it.

RE: Best way to check if a Field is a label?

Hi Peter As you will have gathered, there is no label property as such, simply a field with pre-defined attributes including lockText. It depends what you are trying to do and why you need to identify them, but if you need to regularly test the easiest way may be to manually specify a

Re: Best way to check if a Field is a label?

Thanks, Hugh I’m trying to find the best way to clear all the fields in which data can be entered on a card. At the moment I use this code: repeat with y = 1 to the number of fields of this card if not the lockText of Field y then put empty into Field y end if end repeat It

Re: Best way to check if a Field is a label?

I name my fields with a trailing L or F which lets you do the same thing as using a custom prop. repeat with i = 1 to the number of fields of this card if (the last char of the short name of field i is F) then put random(1525434) into field i end repeat On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 4:27

Re: Best way to check if a Field is a label?

I do something similar by naming the field with either a suffix -lbl or just lbl alone. Then the field scan can just check whether the name contains lbl. On July 8, 2015 5:27:08 AM CDT, Peter W A Wood peterwaw...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks, Hugh I’m trying to find the best way to clear all the
