Is there any way to capture a down arrow, return or right-click in and edit table control? I can't seem to use QUALIFY_EVENT for the edit table. Is this due to it being a 3rd party control?

Thanks,

Bryan

Capturing particular keys within the edittable has so far eluded me (and no one has yet spilled any secret knowledge to me!) but you can right click in an edittable. The second to the last SENL provides code for doing so within Win95. If you don't get SENL let me know and I'll post the code (with permission of course !)

No theres no way and yes it is because its a 3rd party control.

Is Revsoft going to include the fixes for ET's in 3.6?

Below is a snippet from Sprezzatura's Electronic Newsletter Volume 1 issue 10. You may get the whole enchilada (or full monty ) at www.sprezzatura.com as well as request a free subscription to this worthy piece (there, I hope that satisfies my copyright obligations!) -

Qualify_Event

Next it was time to RAVE about Qualify_Event. I think if you were to

press Carl Aaron and self we'd probably give this props as being our

favourite new feature of all time! Originally Qualify_event was

designed to permit developers to influence the event chain by deciding

what gets done when - the eighth concentric ring of maintenance hell.

Now it has been extended to permit the trapping of ANY Windows

message.

So as an example, suppose you wanted to trap a right mouse click on an

edit table so that you could display a Zoom window or a context menu?

Easy. On the create event of the Window, tell the system that you want

to look for the right click message on that particular edit control.

Now whenever the user right clicks on that particular edit control the

WINMSG event will be triggered for that control. You'll be told the

message that got you there and any supporting information and you can

then do what you want! In our case we had code to show a full Hospital

address when the hospital was right clicked on and our two pieces of

code were as follows…

Code for Create Event of Window

Function Create(CtrlEntId, CtrlClassId, CreateParam)

/*

So the Window is called PATIENT, the edit table is

called HOSPITAL. The Windows message triggered by

a right click is 0x7B, so we tell the control to

let us know when that happens.

Note that this won't work with Windows 3.1 as it is

a 95 specific message. There are ways of making it work 

for 3.1 of course... 

*/

Call Send_Message("PATIENT.HOSPITAL", "QUALIFY_EVENT", "0x7b", 1)

RETURN 1

and the code for the WinMsg event on the Patient.Hospital control

Function WinMsg(CtrlEntId, CtrlClassId, hWnd, Message, wparam,lparam)

CtrlArray	=		@Window : ".HOSPITAL"

PropArray	=		"TEXT"

DataArray	=		Get_Property(CtrlArray, PropArray)

HospNo		=		DataArray1, @Rm

Row			=		Xlate("HOSPITAL", HospNo, "", "X")

Swap @Fm With \0D0A\ In Row

Swap @Vm With \0D0A\ In Row	

Call Msg(@Window, Row)

Return

This is SO COOL!!!
