I have a top screen menu called �Information� with sub-headers � on of these sub headers are called: Weights and Measures, the menu code is set up as:
Weights and Measures:|Cuft to Cbm / Cbm to Cuft
Weights and Measures:|-
Weights and Measures:|Set Up: Density Factors
Depending on the user they would set up their Density Factor using the following:
Sea Shipments: 5.5 to 7.0 pounds per cubic foot
Air Shipments: 10.4 pounds per cubic foot
The reason a Density Factor is used is because shipments of personal effects are difficult to weigh.
The Weights and Measures:|Set Up: Density Factors will normally be set up after the installation of the Alpha 5v6 application and will not usually be changed unless an industry change requirement forces the user to do so.
Once the Density Factor is entered the user would then select the Weights and Measures:|Cuft to Cbm / Cbm to Cuft to convert cubic feet to cubic meters and vice versa.
I want the dialog to have 2 data entry fields:
Field 1: Cubic Feet
Field 2: Cubic Meters
If a user enters in the Cubic Feet values I want the Cubic Meter field to convert the data, however � if the user enters Cubic Meters in the Cubic Feet field I want the Cubic Feet field to convert the Data also � I only want the two fields displayed in the dialog.
In addition I will need a Radio Button selection for Sea Shipment and Air Shipment, thus the conversion factors would be drawn in from the Weights and Measures:|Set Up: Density Factors dialog window.
What is the best approach in creating these two Dialogs? The data in the Density Factors needs to be permanent but if it does not need to link to a specific customer job, thus when the Density Factor is changed it will not effect any previously made customer shipments � this function is to be considered as a Conversion Calculator.
