Better way is to use your own derived class for all your projects. Actually we advise not to use TXBrowse class directly. But to have your own derived class and use it across your projects. That's what I do too. A template for the derived class is given in \fwh\samples\xbrchild.prg. ...

Hi Antonio I tried to compile database program and get the following database.o:(.data+0x8a8): undefined reference to `HB_FUN_NUMPICT' database.o:(.data+0x9b8): undefined reference to `HB_FUN_ANSITOOEM' database.o:(.data+0xb08): undefined reference to `HB_FUN_OEMTOANSI' database.o:(.data+0xeb8): und...

Subclassing xbrowse is the easiest of all. fwh\samples\xbrchild.prg explains how to subclass xbrowse.prg Once you have made your own subclass say TXBrowseRick, then at the beginning of your project SET XBROWSE TO TXBrowseRick() All xbrowse commands in your entire application will now refer to TXBrowseRick(). ...

Not recommended: TXBrowse():new() Recommended by FW TXBrows():new() TXBrows( bChild ) is now obsolete Instead use : SetXBrowse( bChild ) If we use command syntax, we never fail. They are correctly translated ...

Hello,

I know how to change a method (in xharbour) , but how can it be restored in it's original method ?

I tryed something with TXBrows( {|| TXBrwChild() } ) and TXBrowse():new() , but no dialog is created.

Rao,

When we write TXBrows():New( oWnd ), the message "New" is sent to the class object returned by TXBrows().

I should have thought of that. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

... interested in general advice about any better practices of coding for xbrowse, here are a few advices: a) It is desirable if you change all "TXBrowse():" as "TXBrows(". You can do it with many program editors in all programs at once and then rebuild your application. This change ...

Mr James, I still have been unable to find the source for TBrows():New(). Do you know where it is? There is no TXBrows class as such. TXBrows() is a function which returns the class object TXBrowse() by default. If we set a different browse class with the statement SetXBrowse( ...

oBrw:= TXBrowse():New( oWnd, nRow, nCol, ...) This is not correct. TXBrowse():New( oWnd ) also accepts only one parameter. It does NOT accept any other paramters TXBrows():New( oWnd ) is equivalent to TXBrowse():new( oWnd ) normally ...

Rao, Here is an important point. If one is creating a xbrowse using OOP syntax like this: oBrw:= TXBrowse():New( oWnd, nRow, nCol, ...) It cannot be just changed to: oBrw:= TXBrows():New( oWnd, nRow, nCol, ...) Since TXBrows():new() only accepts one parameter, oWnd. Converting ...

Rao, TXBrows():new(oWnd) // not TXBrow() It is easier to change "TXBrowse(" to "TXBrows(" in one stroke in all sources with a single operation with any program editor. Anyway we are changing to what FWH recommends. ...

OK, I see the advantage of using this syntax. However, for UKService, assuming he is currently using TXBrowse():New(), he would have to change all 200 of these to the TBrow() syntax. If he were to change the xbrowse.ch file, then he only needs to make one change. Also, you ...

Rao, 2. Or if Oops style is used browses are created by oBrw := TXBrows():New(...) but not TXBrowse():New() (As recommended by FWH) OK, I see the advantage of using this syntax. However, for UKService, assuming he is currently using TXBrowse():New(), he ...

Rao, Please explain the advantage of using TXBrow() instead of TXBrowse():New(). I see that TXBrow() uses a codeblock to call TXBrowse() but I don't understand what the significance of that is. Regards, James Mr. James I hope my earlier posting answers ...
