Thank you Harry,
I created a browse template in the window and then populated it.
Below the browse window, I draged and dropped the fields from the
populate window. I am ok so far. When I run it, I can browse through
the file and which ever record is highlighted, I see it on the fields
below the browse window. I do not like the inplace edit for Browse
window it might confuse users. What I wanted to do is, let them
browse and select the record to edit and the contents is displayed on
the fields below the browse window and allow edit on those fields not
on the browse window.
So what I want to do is to put the controls mentioned on my first
email.
When I click populate -> Control templates - I get the Class ABC
Templates and under it, I can select BrowseSelect BrowseSelect,
SaveChange etc buttons. But it is not doing what I want it to do.
BrowseUpdate buttons brings Insert, Change, Delete. But will only let
you do inplace editing. Otherwise, I can select an action and then
write code.
I want to learn to write code directly for those control buttons [for
example in clipper, I may write 'Replace [record-field-name] with
contents of screen [ field name ] ]
Thanks
Shaw
