Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

Nice addition Peter.

I couldn't resist bolting on a bit more: A View Recs button, record counts, file size, and whether the table is open or not

Agreed, Chris.

Here is an updated version. I rejiggered things a bit. It now displays the index definitions + the db name in the title bar. The code for the index definition is a little crude, but I had a hard time trying to parse Get_Index_Definitions(), so I took the path of least resistance.

Code:

Re: Useful Example Using XDialog

Spot on. For my own purposes I'll leave the tablename and indexname in quotes with the fieldname unquoted. Your use of the send_keys was quite inspirational - I would never have thought to do it that way - Another note in the tips book.

Thanks

Good. Although, I can see where you might want it either way. e.g.

tbl = table.open("Projects")
vID = tbl.id

Where, in this case, the table name is in quotes, and the field name is without.

Re: Useful Example Using XDialog

Hi Peter

Wonderful addition.

The only downside is that you have to 1st load the dialog from the I.E. interactively. If there is a way to customize the code editor toolbar or menu, let me know...

Put this line

{I=$a5_wrench}{DATA=!f_TablesFieldsIndexes()}Display Tables Fields Indexes

in a text file called f_tablesfieldsindexes.code_editor and place it in the Control_Panel_Addins folder. Restart Alpha, go to the code editor, from the menu, click on the Code, Addins, Display Tables Fields Indexes menu item.

Re: Useful Example Using XDialog

That's a great function, Chris. Thanks much!

I made a few minor tweaks to suit my own taste, but substantively...

Field structure definitions have been added to the field name lookups.

Buttons have been added to allow one to paste in the table, field or index name into an xbasic script or the I.E.

This effectively allows one to use this xdialog in replacement to the "insert field name" option in the code editor menu, with the benefit of having the index names right there and the rollup function to get the dialog out of the way, something not possible before. The only downside is that you have to 1st load the dialog from the I.E. interactively. If there is a way to customize the code editor toolbar or menu, let me know...

Thanks again, Chris.

with code from Mike Wilson, Cal Locklin, Lenny Forziati, & Andy Dibble, here's a function which displays the field names & indexes for any selected table in a rollup/rolldown modeless xdialog - the code has just been cobbled together, but gives a useful example - Sure, it can be improved and expanded upon, but it's only an example. The juicy bit for me was Cal's addition of a check box to Mike's code in the first thread.

Code:

FUNCTION TablesFieldsIndexes AS C ( )
     DIM vTM AS C=""
     DIM vFM AS C=""
     DIM vIM AS C=""
     DIM tablename AS C
     DIM fieldname AS C = ""
     DIM idxname AS C = ""
     DIM dialog_box_title as C
     DIM dlg_Rolled_Down AS C
     DIM dlg_Rolled_Up AS C
     DIM event_Rolled_Up AS C
     DIM event_Rolled_Down AS C
     DIM sort_alpha AS L
 
     vTM = sortsubstr(a5.table_enum(),crlf(),"A")
     dialog_box_title = "Tables/Fields/Indexes"
 
     dlg_Rolled_Down = <<%dlg%
{toolcaption}
{can_exit=exit}
{background=Pale Yellow}
{position=remember=XD_TablesFieldsIndexes_Down}
{font=Arial,10,b}
{blueframe=1,1:Tables, Fields && Indexes}
{region}
{font=Arial,8,b} Tables: | Field Names:{font=Arial,9,n} (sort_alpha!tc_*?tablename!="")Sort Alpha{font=Arial,8,b} | Indexes:{font=Arial,10,n};
 [.25,30tablename^#vTM!tc_*] | [.30,30fieldname^#vFM!fc_*] | [.30,10idxname^#vIM!ic_*]
{endregion};
{condition=.t.}
{line=1,0};
{justify=center}<10Quit>{sp=5}<10Rollup>
%dlg%
 
     dlg_Rolled_Up = <<%dlg%
{can_exit=exit}
{background=Pale Yellow}
{position=remember=XD_TablesFieldsIndexes_Up}
{font=Arial,8,n}
{justify=center}
<10,1Quit>{sp=5}<10,1Rolldown>
%dlg%
 
     event_Rolled_Down = <<%code%
IF left( a_dlg_button, 3 ) = "tc_"
     IF a_dlg_button = "tc_change"
          IF sort_alpha
               vFM = sortsubstr(w_upper(lower(table.external_field_name_get(tablename))), crlf(), "a")
          ELSE
               vFM = w_upper(lower(table.external_field_name_get(tablename,"N")))
          END IF
               vIM = w_upper(lower(table.external_index_name_get(tablename)))
       END IF
            a_dlg_button = ""
END IF
IF a_dlg_button="Quit"
     ui_modeless_dlg_close("Tables/Fields/Indexes")
END IF
IF a_dlg_button = "Rollup"
     ui_modeless_dlg_box(dialog_box_title,dlg_Rolled_Up,event_Rolled_Up)
END IF
%code%
 
     event_Rolled_Up = <<%code%
IF a_dlg_button = "Quit" 
     ui_modeless_dlg_close(dialog_box_title)
END IF
IF a_dlg_button = "Rolldown"
 ui_modeless_dlg_box(dialog_box_title,dlg_Rolled_Down,event_Rolled_Down)
END IF
%code%
 
 ui_modeless_dlg_box(dialog_box_title,dlg_Rolled_Down,event_Rolled_Down)
 
END FUNCTION

I've attached a import txt file of this function also.
