DCGET COMBO

[Koverhage]

Hi Roger,

this code work up to build 254.

Code: Select all

@  3,  1 DCSAY messlg SAYSIZE 30
@  3, 26 DCGET m_az pict '999999999' ;
         COMBO HEIGHT 6 WIDTH 16 DATA aLastLgNr ELEMENT 1 ;
         RETURN {|n|val(aLastLgNr[n])} ;
         MESSAGE messlge valid { || lgda280( m_az, GetList ) }

DCGETOPTIONS BUTTONALIGN DCGUI_BUTTONALIGN_CENTER ;
             COLORGETS {{GRA_CLR_BLACK,GRA_CLR_YELLOW}} ;
             AUTORESIZE ;
             TABSTOP ;
             ROWOFFSET ("fi")->zeiloff ;
             WINDOWWIDTH  nMaxCol ;
             WINDOWHEIGHT nMaxRow ;
             WINDOWROW aPos[2] ;
             WINDOWCOL aPos[1]

DCHOTKEY xbeK_F1 ACTION { || my_help( dc_getactiveinfo( GetList ) ) }            // F1
DCHOTKEY xbeK_F2 ACTION { || xx_ausk( dc_getactiveinfo( GetList ), GetList ) } // F2

DCREAD GUI ;
       OPTIONS GetOptions ;
       TITLE messlge ;
       MODAL ;
       SETAPPWINDOW ;
       to lOk ;
       ENTEREXIT

With build 257 this does not work (not tested with 255 and 256). After press Strg(Ctrl) and Enter the DCREAD, no list appears, the get is finished.

Hi,

I tried to use this 2 weeks ago. It wasn't working and I couldn't find why it didn't. Now i know. Finally I gave up and used a dccombo as before.

Chris,

i use it so often, i can't change all programs.
If this the first (or only) DCGET in a READ i can add a CLEAREVENTS to the DCREAD, but this does not help
if i habe many DCGET commands.

Having a sample program that I can compile and run would help me expedite a fix for this.

It takes me a good amount of time to write sample programs.

Can you help me?

What does Strg(Ctrl) mean?
Help me with this. A sample program would save a lot of time.

Hi Roger,

Strg(Ctrl) + Enter means the keycode to open the combo list, but the same is if i use the mouse.

The requested sample is attached.

In the sample it does not work (no matter what i use (with CLEAREVENTS or without CLEAREVENTS).

Strg(Ctrl) + Enter means the keycode to open the combo list

did you try F4 ? this is the Windows "build-in" Way to open a Combobox when it have Focus.

Jimmy,

why i should do this ?
Ctrl+Enter is the hotkey in Express++ to open the combobox. Up to build 254 this work with any problems.

Yes i try F4, but this key does not work and why the user should use a new key combination ?

hm ... than Express++ seem to "block" it.
if User use other Key than F4 to open a Combobox it is simply not Windows Style.

Jimmy,

that is not true.

Microsoft Windows Shortcuts

Alt + Shift + Backspace


System menu

Alt + Down


Drop a combo box (the combo box should have focus first)

F4
