Problem with Numeric get

[Silvio.Falconi]

the user has to enter the numbers quickly without stopping but finds it difficult and always has to go back to check the get controls because I made them this way but they don't work

@ 70, 20 GET aGet[5] VAR nTop OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE "@Z 999.99" UPDATE
@ 70, 82 GET aGet[6] VAR nLeft OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE "@Z 999.99" UPDATE
@ 70, 245 GET aGet[7] VAR nWidth OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE "@Z 999.99" UPDATE
@ 70, 245 GET aGet[8] VAR nHeight OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE "@Z 999.99" UPDATE







the user must enter for example

in the first 12.3
in the second 1
in the third 1.8
in the quarter 0.5

sample test

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "FiveWin.ch"

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

function Main()

      local oDlg, aGet:= array(4), oBtn,oFont
      local nWd  := GetSysMetrics(0) * .58
      local nHt  := (GetSysMetrics(1) / 3 )


    local nTop    := 0
    local nLeft   := 0
    local nWidth  := 0
    local nHeight := 0
    local cPic  := "@ 999,99"

   SET _3DLOOK ON

   DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "TAHOMA" SIZE 0,-14
   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg TITLE "numeric get fast" ;
     SIZE nWd,nHt

   @ 70, 20  GET aGet[1] VAR nTop    OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE cPic UPDATE  RIGHTTOLEFT  
   @ 70, 82  GET aGet[2] VAR nLeft   OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE cPic UPDATE  RIGHTTOLEFT
   @ 70, 205 GET aGet[3] VAR nWidth  OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE cPic UPDATE  RIGHTTOLEFT
   @ 70, 265 GET aGet[4] VAR nHeight OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE cPic UPDATE  RIGHTTOLEFT
   

   @ 120.5, 4 BUTTON oBtn PROMPT "&Ok" SIZE 45, 12 PIXEL OF oDlg ;
      ACTION ( oDlg:End(), MsgInfo( nTest ) ) DEFAULT

   @ 120.5, 65 BUTTON "&Cancel" SIZE 45, 12 PIXEL OF oDlg ;
      ACTION ( oDlg:End(), MsgInfo( nTest ) )

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED

   return nil


 

 

maybe the PICTURE are wrong?

I tried also with

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

  @ 70, 20  GET aGet[1] VAR nTop    OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE "999.99" UPDATE  RIGHTTOLEFT
   @ 70, 82  GET aGet[2] VAR nLeft   OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE "999.99" UPDATE  RIGHTTOLEFT
   @ 70, 205 GET aGet[3] VAR nWidth  OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE "999.99" UPDATE  RIGHTTOLEFT
   @ 70, 265 GET aGet[4] VAR nHeight OF oDlg SIZE 28, 12 PIXEL FONT oFont PICTURE "999.99" UPDATE  RIGHTTOLEFT

make a test
insert

first 12.3
second 5.5
third 1.5
four 0.5

not run ok and allway the user must return back with the mouse to insert the right numbers
