Memo Fields - Spell Check V5 to V8

[TerriH]

We have recently upgraded to V8 from V5

On a form we have an embedded browse. That browse contains a memo field. On the row double click, the memo field will open so you can type the needed information. In V5, you could highlight what you typed, right click, and your editing choices would come up. In that box was a choice for 'Tools' and under Tools, you could chose Spell Check. I am attaching a screen shot of what I am talking about.

In V8, the 'Tools' option is not available. The box just goes up to 'Properties'.

Any clue as to how to get the 'Tools' to show up?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

What is the code for the onrowdblclick? When I open a memo field I see a spellcheck toolbar button next to the close.

I am attaching the OnRowDblClick code and the script for the Script_Play associated with this form.

Re: Memo Fields - Spell Check V5 to V8

In the onrowdblclick event code there is a line

vreturn = a5_rtf_editor(r,"Summary Text")

The function a5_rtf_editor() is no longer in the documentation though it does appear in the autocomplete. The replacement seems to be a5_rtf_editor2().

I doubt this is the issue but you might give the change a try.

Tried it, but it did not work :(

Well,

I didn't peruse the code too well.

script_play("SummarytxtInsert")
end
'more stuff later

The end statement means that all the onrowdblclick event code does is to play the script.

The script doesn't invoke the rtf editor, it displays the contents in an xdialog. Thus there is no spell check available.

Do you use the same code in V5? I think it must be the older version without the script.

Re: Memo Fields - Spell Check V5 to V8

It is exactly the same code in V5 --

Did not change a thing when we installed V8.

On a good (or should I say GREAT note) ---Only a few other 'bumps' using our database from V5 in V8.

Re: Memo Fields - Spell Check V5 to V8

Can you attach a sample of the set upon which the form is built?

Re: Memo Fields - Spell Check V5 to V8

Just tell me how to do this !

Re: Memo Fields - Spell Check V5 to V8

Nevermind.

I was able to deduce enough from the script to reconstruct the tables, at least well enough to run the script.

I do see the behavior you describe. I am unable to find anything in the database setting which would cause this.

Sorry I couldn't help.

Re: Memo Fields - Spell Check V5 to V8

Didn't work. Disregard.

By the way, I would change the onrowdblclick event script as indicated in red....

script_play("SummarytxtInsert")
end 
[COLOR="Red"]'below is no longer used
'event code moved to SummarytxtInsert script[/COLOR]
xbasic_wait_for_idle()

and leave the rest of it as is.
