Re: Set Focus in DCBrowseCol

thanks. I still would like to know the way to give 'uncolored' focus to the original cell and reset the cursor all the way to the left.

Re: Set Focus in DCBrowseCol

Thanks. This of course keeps the cursor in the cell, but the cell then turns blue and the cursor is at the same position within the cell not left aligned. I'm not well versed in Xbase (went from Clipper straight to Express, that was the allure), so I was wondering what the Xbase code would be within...

I am trying to set the focus in a browse to a specific cell. In the example below, the data in a cell is tested and if the test fails the cell is cleared and I want the focus to remain in the cell instead of moving to the next one. Thanks.

Re: Was Isaac Newton God?

I never read the Old Testament but I did see the movie twice. Newton never married and was said to have been a virgin to his death. Had he married he surely would have been told how fallible he was which would have disqualified him from any deity. He might have also used mathematic exaggerations to ...

Re: Was Isaac Newton God?

If mathematics were discovered, then it must be assumed that it is either a constant in nature or was an invention of a higher being. I once was laughed out of a room full of liberal arts majors because I made the statement that mathematics is not an exact science (division by zero, infinity, the ex...

Re: Need to clear the get in a DCCOMBOBOX

Your suggestions solved it.
I added a blank fourth array element, SPACE(1), to aType
After the "Save", instead of resetting cType:=SPACE(1), I used cType:=aType[4].
I get exactly what I needed.

Thanks to both for your help.

Need to clear the GET in a DCCOMBOBOX

In the following code, if you enter any value in 'account', then click on the drop down and select a 'type', and then 'Save', all is well. If you then go back up to enter another 'account', but skip the 'type' since it is still showing the last 'type' selected in the dropdown, no value is assigned t...
