Tach Günter :-)
Hello all of this very helpful list,
I am a consultant and supporter of a well known ERP-Software in
germany.
Since 6 months I am programming tools for that ERP-System and I do
it with revolution.
what is ERP?
I think this was the best idea I've ever had.
My customers are very happy to get the tools they need in a very
short time and for a low price.
Until now I wasn't an active user of this list, because my english
isn't very good, as you see.
In that case, welcome to the list :-)
I have a question about date sort in a list. Because my customers
are german, they want to see the german date format (system date).
Is there a way to sort a list by an item that contains a system date?
I wrote a little function for this problem:
function sortContainerBySystemDate pContainer, pItemToSort, pSortOrder
local nOL
local nOI
local x
if (pContainer is empty) or (pItemToSort is not a number)
or (pItemToSort < 1) then
put empty into sortedContainer
return sortedContainer
exit sortContainerBySystemDate
end if
set the itemDel to tab
put the number of lines of pContainer into nOL
put the number of items of line 1 of pContainer into nOI
if nOL < 2 or nOI < pItemToSort then
put pContainer into sortedContainer
return sortedContainer
exit sortContainerBySystemDate
end if
repeat for each line x in pContainer
convert item pItemToSort of x from system date to seconds
end repeat
if pSortOrder = 1 then
sort lines of pContainer descending numeric by item
pItemToSort of each
else
sort lines of pContainer ascending numeric by item
pItemToSort of each
end if
repeat for each line x in pContainer
convert item pItemToSort of x from seconds to system date
end repeat
put pContainer into sortedContainer
return sortedContainer
end sortContainerBySystemDate
It works for me. But may be there is a better and shorter way to do
that!?
What about, supposed the german date (like 29.11.2005) is the third
item in the field:
...
set the usesystemdate to true
##!!! Check the docs!
sort lines of fld xyz datetime by item 3 of each
...
Might be a BIT shorter ;-)
Another Problem:
Because my costumers are working on windows machines, they have
very different Versions (98,2000,XP).
I'm programming on a windows XP with Classic Style for Windows and
gadgets.
I did a tool that contains sliders and it works fine.
I installed it on a customers machine with XP and XP Style. I was
scared -- the knop of the slider was not there and there was no way
to do anything with the slider.
When I turned the Style to Classic on that machine, the knob was
there again. But the employee wants to have the XP Style, hmmm.
Is this a well known effect and is there a possible solution?
Sorry, no idea...
Best,
Günter
