CUEBANNER support in FWH 9.04

[Antonio Linares]

FWH 9.04 supports CUEBANNER texts in GETs:

Sets the textual cue, or tip, that is displayed by the edit control to prompt the user for information.
When the user clicks the text, the text goes away and the user can type.
You cannot set a cue banner on a multiline edit control or on a rich edit control.
Themes support must be activated in the application. It is a Windows API requirement

@ ..., ... GET ... CUEBANNER "write a caption"

or

REDEFINE GET ... CUEBANNER "write a caption"

Antonio,

I tried out this new feature.

But while rebuilding my application, I got an syntax error on this line.

My line looks like this :

Code: Select all  Expand view

REDEFINE GET oGET[01] VAR cPNAAM ID 101 OF ParDlg PICTURE REPLICATE(IF(PAR->HLEtNAAM,"!","X"),100) CUEBANNER "Name" UPDATE

What's wrong ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Michel:

Try this way:

Code: Select all  Expand view

REDEFINE GET oGET[01] VAR cPNAAM ID 101 OF ParDlg PICTURE REPLICATE(IF(PAR->HLEtNAAM,"!","X"),100) CUETEXT "Name" UPDATE

It surely was an Antonio's last minute change

Manuel,

Thank you very much for your help.

CUETEXT works fine now.

Have a nice Eastern.

Manuel, Michel,

yes, it was a last minute change error

We have changed FiveWin.ch to use CUEBANNER instead of CUETEXT

Or should we support both ways ?
