Option for Xbrowse Softseek to verify input field ?

Option for Xbrowse Softseek to verify input field ?

Postby Marc Venken » Tue Apr 30, 2019 10:38 am

In Xbrowse we can softseek and for every key, the list will only show the result (records that match the input field)

Can we also do that from wittin a input field (or prefered Xbrowse field)

What I want to do :

We are going to input lots of potential customers from a mailing list. It would be needed that when we start to input a new name (or adress is maybe better) that
for every key we proceed, a second Xbrowse would show the result for the matching record. That way we can see from just a few keystrokes that that customer is
already into the database, and we can skip the rest of the data and try the next adress.

Just a thought, but why not use the browse with it's search enabled. Start typing the data, and if you see no match, program a right click on the mouse to pop up an Edit screen, with a new record appended, where you can type in the data.

Tim, I use the idea from you. Less code, just adding few lines in Xbrowse power. I even added Xbrowse EditSource:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

   @ 690,500 BTNBMP PROMPT "<- Blanco" ;
      SIZE 100,25 PIXEL OF oDlg1;
      ACTION ( oBrw:EditSource(.T., "klant_nr,Naam_1,Straat,Postcode,Gemeente" ) )

 


Any Idea how I can pre define some values in the fields ?

So that klant_nr has a value already predifined...and then start the dialog.

In your edit function preload default values after the append and before the save. You can change any values in the edit dialog
