TAGG-ABLE TBROWSE
9/15/92
If you're like me, you've come across numerous times when you use
TBrowse to create a pick-list for your end users. I've always
wanted to be able to give them a nice check mark next to selected
items, and even change the color to indicate checked items.
I haven't seen anything like that, and have been told it might only
be possible using an OOP class extension library. But it is
possible to do in native Clipper. The program TAGBROW returns an
array of the selected record numbers from the pick-list dbf. These
record numbers can then be used to bring up any fields from the
selected dbf you wish. And the array is only as big as the records
selected!
One point to remember, make sure the field name you send to the
function TAGBROW() is a string (put it in quotes!). This example
only uses one field from a pick-list dbf, but can easily be
modified to include multiple field columns.
There are four files included:
READ.ME // you're reading it
TAGBROW.CH // header for prgs
TAGTEST.PRG // test sample program
TAGBROW.PRG // tagg-able browse object
If you have any ideas or improvements, give me a holler.
Thanks
