DCFINDBROWSE row possibility?

#1 Post by fbaker »

Is there a way to have more than 1 line of text in a browse row? I have a need to have at least 2 lines of text in a browse row so that I can give a full explanation of what a particular selection involves.

If you don't use cell colors, just give the multirow browse a chance (..\samples\browse\multirow.prg). But this will not only give strange results with cell colors, even visual styles will cause ugly effects. The way to go is ownerdrawing. The most recent eXpress++ version has a sample for this: samples\browse\ownerdraw.prg

You could either use the multirow browse or you could use a DATATOOLTIP.
