- 1) If you use the Find command (under Edit menu) then you can jump to items
- in a Browse
-
- 2) I've heard varying reports from Dec/92 - Jan/93 to mid-year/93 from
- Microsoft in Australia, regarding the FoxPro/Mac release.
-
- IN THE MEANTIME
- I'm working on a few improvements to FoxBase+/mac (currently in beta) that
- give you
-
- BROWSE DOUBLE-CLICK
- traps double-click, Enter, Tab & Return keys (you control which of these
- are trapped) and creates a command-key of your choice (eg: command-O to
- Open a single record).
-
- FAST DIALOG
- Loads an array (maintained separately to Fox memory space) and shows a true
- Mac dialog allowing up&down arrows, first few letters jump to item etc.
- (multiple-selections are under development).
- VERY FAST as it is doing it's own load loop (you specify the command, eg:
- either SKIP or CONTINUE) and the array is shown using the internal Dialog
- manager, so avoids the slow Fox stuff.
-
- These will both be released as shareware VERY SOON - we are just testing on
- different machines to ensure minimum hassles.
