... to write a separate function to naviato the mouse over row, pick the text and re- navicate to the current row, which is confusing and error-prone. In case of bCellToolTip, xbrowse first navigates to the mouse over row and then evaluates the codeblock with mouse over column object as parameter ...

... the part. For the item being serviced, they can scan the ID right off the item. It's pretty hard to make a mistake with this. If customers were prone to making mistakes, I'd tune the code to block it. Tim

... constants in the aStrings array in strings.prg. Though it is possible to build such an array manually, it is very tedious, time-consuming, error-prone and very difficult to maintain. We propose a tool (a program) that makes the process much easier and safer. This program can be customized to ...

... same class with a lot of IF/THEN and DO/CASEs. Then you are just falling back to procedural code and this gets very complex, messy to work on, and prone to errors. Further, whenever you try to add or fix something you risk breaking more than just the database type that you are working on. Thus, ...

... can have it's own methods and can be passed to other objects. The object is more complex than a row of data, but much easier to work with and less prone to bugs. It is also a smart object--it can contain methods. I believe that business objects are the most important advance one can make in programming. ...

... othe ways of doing this and we all had done this many times. But this feature takes away all the tedium, makes the process very simple, less error prone, stable with easy to maintain code. The entire process requires usage of only two methods and one data: 1) oParent:AddChild( ... ) // establish ...

... are millions of PC's still running XP in virtual environments, behind enterprise grade firewalls and appliances that are very secure. None of them prone to intrusion. Windows 8.1 is better, by far, than 7. There are good & reliable antiviruses like Bit Defender Internet Security 2015 (latest ...

... who use INT to hold logical values but in their application code they take care of logical/numeric conversions, which I consider unnecessary and prone to errors. (Oracle programmers mostly use 'Y', 'N' ) If for some reasons we need to retain TINYINT (or any other) field type, I suggest this code. ...

... your bandwidth consumption. Also trying to connect your users through RDP, is by far faster than using network shares alone, more secure and less prone to data corruption. I hope this clarifies some of your doubts. If I can be of any help, please drop me a note.

Richard: Thank you very much for your solution. Now, using the mouse, it's prone to the user not pressing Ctrl and losing all marked records. It's there a way like marking a checkbox in a column ? This way the user just clicks on the checkbox and forgets about ...

... nLastKey as parameters. The programmer was expected to specify how the data was to be saved in the table. Writing code for this is tricky, error-prone and differs for different datasources like array, dbf, objects, recsets, etc. Programmer has to code for locks, error conditions and so on. In ...

Harvey, I know it is all scary since it is so different, but once you get over the intial learning curve, programming is so much easier, less error prone, and requires much less code. While converting some older programs I have reduced the code by as much as 50-90 percent. When you are doing a conversion ...

First I never recommend using privates--they are to prone to cause very hard to find bugs. You don't need to pass oWnd you can always get it by calling wndMain(). I don't recommend any confirmation dialogs. In your case the user can merely run the ...
