I need to perform validation routine on the key field in my input form.  I have inserted event code in the read event but have been unable to figure out how to retrieve the value just entered in the key field.



I have tried: Get_Property(@window, "EQUIP_NO"), Equip_No being the edit line id, but nothing is retrieved.  Also tried using @ID with the same result.  I need to retrieve this value and some cases modify it and return it as the key to be used to read the record.



It seem fairly straight forward, but I am stuck......Any help would be appreciated..

<QUOTE>Bill,



You are using the fully defined control name .. yes?



IF NOT(YES) THEN



the format of get property is



rtn get_property(ctrlname,property)



where ctrlname is the full name starting with the window nameinstance followed by '.' followed by the control name.



So a window called "INV_ENTRY" and a control named "DESC" would give the control the full name of INV_ENTRY.DESC.  Note: if you have checked multiple instance in the window properties then you might have something like INV_ENTRY*3.DESC.  Also note you can use @WINDOW for your window name.



The properties are listed in the help but 'TEXT' is used for editlines.  Look in Sysprocs,Ctrl_Property_Equates for all the good names.



So .. data=get_property(@Window:".DESC","TEXT") will get the data.
