ACHOICE() Test Program Documentation
I was intrigued with the new ACHOICE() function in Clipper S '87, but the
official documentation is barely adequate. My need was to allow the user
to select one (or more) organization numbers from a dbf, and pass the list
on to another program segment.
The enclosed TEST program demonstrates how to set up for ACHOICE(), as well
as a method to toggle selection on/off. It also demonstrates the poorly
documented UDF function for ACHOICE(), and the use of the parameters for
Initial Choice Element and Initial Relative Window Row. Try experimenting
with these and see how the display behaves after a selection.
By the way, the pop-up window that announces indexing will dumbly sit there
for 10 seconds or until you press a key; it really was designed to be
included in VALID UDF's, to let the user know what was wrong. Just threw
it in for free.
If you can refine/elaborate/improve any of this, please do so, and post the
file back up on the BOSS.
