General program technique : on init()

[Marc Venken]

I was looking into my program and discovered that i think I do thinks wrong :

Short description :


DEFINE DIALOG oDlg FROM 60,0 to 750,1900 PIXEL TRUEPIXEL TITLE cTitle GRADIENT aGrad

@ 0, 0 FOLDEREX oFld SIZE oDlg:nWidth, oDlg:nHeight ;
PROMPT "Basis","Historiek","Art. Foto's","Leveranciers","Webshop Basis","Webshop Prijzen","Webshop Groepen","Webshop Staffel","Webshop Teksten","Webshop Kleuren","Ean","Archief","PrijsHistoriek","Upload";
....
oFld:aEnable = { .T., .T., .T.,.T.,.T.,.T.,.T.,.T.,.T.,.T.,.T.,.t.,.t.,.t. }
oFld:SetOption( 1 )
oFld:Show()
oFld:bAction := { || (FolderActions("ARTIKEL",oBrw,oFld)) }

make several Xbrowsres
oBrw[1] = getXBrowser("ARTIKEL",oFld:aDialogs[FOL_BASIS])
oBrw[1]:bChange := { || showpicture("ARTIKEL") }
oBrw[1]:Aankoop:bOnChange = { |oCol,uOldVal| change_art_aankoop(oBrw[1]:aankoop:value,oBrw[1]:bruto:value,"ARTIKEL","AANKOOPVELD",oBrw[1]) }
......
oBrw[3] = getXBrowser("ARTIKEL_FOTOS",oFld:aDialogs[FOL_ART_FOTOS])
oBrw[4] = getXBrowser("NOFOTO",oFld:aDialogs[4])
....
until 9 xbrowser's

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED

The getxbrowser collect all settings for xbrowse in dbf and generate it. (the needed dbfs for xbrwsers are in the dbf and are opened in the getxbrowser function also.

So I have 9 folders in folderex.

What I see is that when startup the program, ALL 9 xbrowsers are processed and also all the filters are setup.
I was thinking that folder 1 was processed and all others only when they are called (selected from the folderex)

Does this have to do with not using on init clause or so ?

Maybe it is ment to be so ?

My question is esspacialy around the on init() clause or any function that will process a function ONLY when needed.

Good morning Marc, it is almost impossible to understand what you want. Is it possible to make a complete example and make it available for download?

Buenos días Marc, es casi imposible entender lo que quieres. ¿Es posible hacer un ejemplo completo y ponerlo a disposición para descargar?

Gracias, tks.

Regards, saludos.

I wanted to proof myself wrong... and i did.

The way I programmed is wrong. Like the sample above, ALL xbrowse are executed before I see a dialog.

Putting them insite the folderactions function only the browse insite that TAB in de folder is executed because folderactions is only executed when we click on a TAB.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

oFld:bAction := { || (FolderActions("ARTIKEL",oBrw,oFld)) }

function FolderActions(cData,oBrw,oFld)
  local cDbf1
  FIELD brwnaam
  oText[1]:hide()

  do case
    case cData = "KLANTEN"  // all folders in this DoCase
       if oFld:nOption=2
         if empty(oBrw[2])
            oBrw[2] = getXBrowser("KLANTDOCUMENTEN",oFld:aDialogs[2])
            oBrw[2]:bChange    := { || Scope("factinfo","document","factart","factart"),oBrw22:refresh() }
         endif
         Scope("klant","klant_nr","factinfo","docklantda")
         oBrw[2]:refresh()
         Scope("factinfo","document","factart","factart")
      endif
endcase
return NIL
