[James Bott]

Ehab,

First, you CANNOT index the customer file each time you edit a record. If it is a multiuser app, it will crash if anyone else has the customer file open. Even if it isn't multiuser, it will take too long to build the indexes each time the user edits. You build the indexes once, then just reopen them. You only have to reindex if there is a corrupted index.

Since you already have TData, why aren't you using it? You could eliminate about half the code you have written. Code like this:

local V_CU_ACCT:=space(10)
local V_CU_NAME:=space(50)
local V_cu_gove:=space(30)
local V_cu_city:=space(30)
local V_cu_coun:=space(30)
local V_cu_stre:=space(50)
local V_CU_phon:=space(30)
local V_CU_fax :=space(22)
local V_CU_mobi:=space(26)
local V_CU_MAN :=space(40)
local V_CU_appr:=space(8)

Becomes:

oCustomer:blank()

Code like this:

goto nOldRec
V_CU_ACCT:=cust->CU_ACCT
V_CU_NAME:=cust->CU_NAME
V_cu_coun:=cust->CU_coun
V_cu_city:=cust->CU_city
V_cu_gove:=cust->CU_gove
V_CU_stre:=cust->CU_stre
V_CU_phon:=cust->CU_phon
V_CU_fax:=cust->CU_fax
V_CU_MAN:=cust->CU_MAN
V_CU_mobi:=cust->CU_mobi
V_CU_appr:=cust->CU_appr

You don't need at all, since TData has a built-in buffer. oCustomer:cu_acct is a buffer so it can be edited without affecting the actual database file ( until you do oCustomer:save() ).

If you are building a new app, I suggest changing your fieldnames. The leading CU_ is not needed, especially if you are going to use TData. The one exception to this is for the ID number. You may need to have multiple ID numbers in the same record like for an invoice which would have an invno and custno.

First I recommend building a TXData class and saving it as a separate PRG; txdata.prg. We are just going to create a new add() method that will be used in TCustomer and any other database class you create.

Code: Select all  Expand view

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

class TXData from TData
   method add()
endclass

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

method add() CLASS TXData
   ::lAdd:=.t.
   ::blank()
   ::edit()
   ::lAdd:=.f.
   ::load() // in case they cancel, this reloads the buffer
return self

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

Now create a customer class. We just need three methods, new(), edit() and browser(). In the browser method you can create buttons for New, Edit, Delete and call the add(), edit(), and delete() methods of the TCustomer class. Look how much less code there is.

Note that TCustomer is a table. In the edit method we create a single customer record object using TRecord. This is needed for one primary reason and that is because if the browse is repainted the TCustomer buffer gets reloaded and we don't want that.

Also note that the TRecord class is smart. If you are adding a new customer it will append a new record when you save it. If you are editing an existing customer it will save the data back to the original record. This is the power of inheritance. The code is written once in TRecord so you don't have to keep rewriting it for each subclass you create.

Save the customer class in another PRG.

Code: Select all  Expand view

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

class TCustomer from TXData
   method new
   method edit
   method browser
endclass

method new() CLASS TCustomer
   super():new(,"cust")
   ::addindex("cust")
   ::addindex("cust1")
   ::addindex("cust2")
   ...
   ::setOrder(1)
   ::gotop()
return self

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

method edit() CLASS TCustomer
   local oDlg,oCust
   
   oCust:= TRecord():new(self)
   
   define dialog oDlg title if(::lAdd,"New Customer", oCust:name)
   redefine get oCust:custno ID 101 of oDlg update
   redefine get oCust:name ID 102 of oDlg update
   ...
   redefine button ID_OK of oDlg action (oCust:save(), oDlg:end())
   ...
   activate dialog oDlg
   
return self

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

method browser() CLASS TCustomer
   // define the browse here...
return self

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

This is so much simpler and easier to read.

James

I have something wrong related with the refresh of the browse. Is that related to xBrowse or for the code ?
Can I separate the main menu in separate tmain.prg for the main menu and xdata.prg for the class txdata and the tcust.prg for customer database modules (add,edit,delete).
Thanks
How can I connect the three .prg ?

Please describe the refresh problem, including exact steps on how to recreate it.

>Can I separate the main menu in separate tmain.prg for the main menu and xdata.prg for the class txdata and the tcust.prg for customer database modules (add,edit,delete).

Yes.

>How can I connect the three .prg ?

You use a build program, a batch file, or a batch file with make files. Please search the forum for more info.

James

[Ehab Samir Aziz]

This is little out of discusion . How I search for the complete string : make file .
I tried search : "make" AND "file" but I got "make" as a standalone search and "file" as a standalone search .

Thanks Enrico ,
I am sorry that is not work . When I search "make file" either file or make alone appeared in different color. Not the two words together beside each other.
Thanks

Ops! You are right. It seems you can't get what you are trying to search, sorry.
