onrowdoubleclick and named browse

[tcampb]

How does one use a named browse (one that has been customized to show what you want) and also use onrowdoubleclick.

The onrowdoubleclick event seems in the code editor to only be available to the default browse or an embedded browse.
Any workarounds?
And what's the difference between the default and an embedded browse?
Thanks

It's kind of buried there.

Open the named browse in design mode, then
click View/Code Editor
When the code editor is in view click in the left "Container" drop dow box and select your named browse. Now you will see the events for the named browse.

Finnian,
Thanks for the speedy reply. I read a previous thread about this where you had given the same advice, but the part about doing it to the browse itself (not the form edit) escaped me.
There it is....
Thanks,

RE: onrowdoubleclick and named browse

Having found the event, I came up with the following:

tbl=table.current()
if var->driver_name=""
'I tried to put a ui_msg here, unsuccessfully
end
end if

if tbl.Is_Marked()
ui_freeze(.t.)
sys_send_keys("{ctrl-u}")
tbl.change_begin()
tbl.driver=""
tbl.change_end()
ui_freeze(.f.)
else
ui_freeze(.t.)
sys_send_keys("{ctrl-m}")
tbl.change_begin()
tbl.driver=driver_name
tbl.change_end()
ui_freeze(.f.)
end if
end

This works except...it requires DOUBLE doubleclick...

Also, I tried this without the ui_freeze statements and it would mark the record but place the name somewhere else. Odd.

Lastly, on the form that contains this browse is a button.
Among other things on the On Push is:

dim driver_name as c
driver_name=ui_get_text("Driver","Enter the driver's name","","llllllll")

This does not seem to set the variable. The only way I can get the previous script above to enter a driver name into the driver field is to declare the variable value in the Variable Definition window. Which is obviously not going to work for me.

Thanks

If I use dim global, it works.
Still having the Double Doubleclick problem.

RE: onrowdoubleclick and named browse

If you only want to use the driver_name variable within the form, adding it to the form as a session variable and then using
dim shared driver_name as c
may help.

I find using the var-> method for referencing variables to be confusing. It doesn't (or so it seems to me) give a sufficiently consistent syntax for setting/checking/verifying/manipulating variables.

As a general rule when setting up variables to be used within a form I add them as layout variables to the form and will place the variable on the form, usually hidden. From that point I can use something like parentform:varname.text to refer to a character variable and, parentform:varname.value to refer to date, numeric and logical variables.

One side benefit of this is that it cuts down on the need to use session/global variables since, if you can get a pointer to the form, you can then manipulate the given variable from anywhere without having to add to the list of globals, which I use extensively.

Is your browse used for data entry? That would be my only guess on the double doubleclick. I generally only have dclick events on read only browses.

RE: onrowdoubleclick and named browse

you are mixing form-level and table-level events on the same record.
i think that is your problem with the double clicks. you can simplify your
script as follows:


if tbl.Is_Marked()
tbl.change_begin()
tbl.driver=""
tbl.unmark()
tbl.change_end()
else
tbl.change_begin()
tbl.mark()
tbl.driver=driver_name
tbl.change_end()
end if
