tGet Question

[AlexSchaft]

Hi,

Why are comma's removed from a picture string?

METHOD GotFocus( hCtlLost ) CLASS TGet

::lFocused = .t.

#ifdef __XHARBOUR__
::oGet:VarGet()
#endif

if ! Empty( ::cPicture ) .and. ::oGet:type == "N"
::oGet:Picture := StrTran( ::cPicture, ",", "" )
endif

I see now that it becomes confusing when capturing.

Has anybody done alterations to fill the get from the right?

Alex

Alex,

Its removed for a better capturing

Alex,

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but here is an old message on numeric GETs. I haven't tried it.

This is the only way to make get objects handling numeric vars to align them to the right properly. What I do remember is that the height of the get has to be at lease 13 pixels or it will show nothing under Win 3.x.

As said above, I always create my gets with a size of 13, regardless if they are numerics or not so I don't have to wory on which OS the app may run.
