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.

    Useful Example Using XDialog

    Based on two message board threads:-

    http://msgboard.alphasoftware.com/al...ad.php?t=79608

    &

    http://msgboard.alphasoftware.com/al...ad.php?t=55813

    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

              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"

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

    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.

      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.

            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.

              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.

                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.

                      Chris, latest additions really great. But scared me the number of tables that are opened by my main menu which has lots of dockpanels with data driven menus and other information in them. Time for a re-think, I think too much over-head there.

                        I think for developers this is a very sweet function. I added {position=remember} to the body code to get it to open where i want it placed and this is for me now open at all time when I'm developing. Thank guys for this!

                          I made some modifications to the original function like adding a few buttons and made the xd sizeable so you could see the calc field rule definitions. Now besides viewing the default browse, you can check the indexes, update them, edit the field rules, pack the table if deleted records are found and even edit the table structure. Also you can save the info to a temp file, preview it and then optionally print it.

                          I gave the function a new name so you can import and test it.

                            I can make a better on my IDE xdialog with your codes.

                              Is it possible to store this function in one place so that it's accessible to all work spaces or does the function need to be added to the code tab for each work space?
