BUILDER TBROWSE WINDOWS
With version 2.2 of the Aeolus Builder the ability to generate TBrowse
source code has been added. Builder allows you to select from a list
of several options to customize each TBrowse.
You may (by hand coding) add your own Key Handler which can either
completely take over the TBrowse, intercept some keys, or just add new
keys to be handled.
The default keys enabled for all Builder TBrowses are:
ESC - Exits the TBrowse and returns to the calling function.
Ctrl + Enter - Exits TBrowse and calls the following window, if any.
Down Arrow - Move pointer to the next table record.
PgDn - View the next screenful of records.
Ctrl + PgDn - Display the records at the end of the current table.
Up Arrow - Move pointer to the previous table record.
PgUp - View the previous screenful of records.
Ctrl + PgUp - Display the records at the beginning of the current
table.
Right Arrow - Move the edit pointer one column right.
Left Arrow - Move the edit pointer one column left.
Ctrl + Left Arrow - Shift the TBrowse columns to the right to view the
column off the left screen border, if there is one.
Ctrl + Right Arrow - Shift the TBrowse columns to the left to view the
column off the right screen border, if there is one.
Home - Move the edit pointer to the leftmost column currently
visible on the screen.
End - Move the edit pointer to the rightmost column currently
visible on the screen.
Ctrl + Home - Move the edit pointer to the leftmost column on the
TBrowse.
Ctrl + End - Move the edit pointer to the rightmost column on the
TBrowse.
Enter or any
Alphanumeric Key - If the column is editable the cursor will be displayed
you can key data into the field.
If the column is a memo field the memo will be
displayed. If the memo is editable the cursor will be
displayed and you will be able to edit the memo.
If the column calls a function the function will be
called.
Alt + M - Display a menu of currently available optional
features.
When creating a TBrowse from Builder there are many optional features that
can be turned on or off. The following list describes these.
Alt + N - Toggle the "Record Number" column off/on. This column,
when turned on, will always be visible on the left of
the TBrowse window.
Alt + D - Delete the current database record.
Alt + E - Delete the current TBrowse column and place it into
the "Recoverable" columns list.
Alt + R - Display a list of Recoverable TBrowse columns. If a
column is selected add it back into the TBrowse.
Alt + F - Freeze the current TBrowse column.
Alt + U - UnFreeze the last column that was frozen.
Alt + W - Change the width of the current column.
Alt + O - Change the database index order.
Alt + S - Do an index search on the database.
Note that each of the Alt + ? keystrokes are also listed in a menu. Pressing
the Alt + M key will display a menu containing only the set of options that
were turned on for the TBrowse.
Other optional features are:
* The ability to add records to the table by moving the edit pointer off
the bottom of the TBrowse.
* Select an alternate default color for a column.
* Change a column's color based on a condition.
* Display a pointer that is the full width of the window.
* Browse a subset of the database based on a relational condition.
* Allow/Disallow editing for a column
