Creating XBrowse from a resource

[James Bott]

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

oBrw := TXBrowse():new( oDlg ):CreateFromResource( 11 )

All my xbrowses are made with code so I have no experience with creating one from a resource. I note that the above line creates a browse with all fields in the database.

I am wondering how one would just add specified fields? Can anyone provide an example? Do you have to delete all the default fields first, then add only the ones you want?

Nages?

I could not find an example in the \samples directory.

Hi James,

Lista1 := TXBrowse():New( oDlg )
Lista1:nMarqueeStyle := MARQSTYLE_HIGHLROW
Lista1:CreateFromResource( 109 )

oCol:= Lista1:AddCol()
oCol:bStrData := { || ARQEMP->SIGLA}
oCol:cHeader := "SIGLA"
oCol:= Lista1:AddCol()
oCol:bStrData := { || ARQEMP->FANTASIA}
oCol:cHeader := "FANTASIA"
oCol:= Lista1:AddCol()
oCol:bStrData := { || ARQEMP->UF}
oCol:cHeader := "UF"

...

[James Bott]

Wanderson,

But calling the CreateFromResource() method has already added all the fields in the database. So when you start adding new columns are they added after all the existing ones? It seems like you have to delete all the existing columns before adding new ones?

OK, I tried this:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

  oBrw := TXBrowse():new( oDlg ):CreateFromResource( 11 )
   oCol:= oBrw:AddCol()
   oCol:bStrData := { || cust->LAST}
   oCol:cHeader := "Last"
 

And I only see the one field. Strange. But, I'm glad it works.

Xbrowse has a very powerful feature with the column syntax

this is a sample

REDEFINE XBROWSE oBrw ID 201 OF ODLG ;
COLUMNS "CLI","NOM","RUE","POSTAL","VILLE","TEL","TEL2","TEL3","NOMFAC","EMAIL" ;
HEADERS " ","Nom","Adresse","Code" + CRLF + "Postal","Ville","Téléphone","Fax","Mobile","Nom" + CRLF + "Facturation","@E-Mail" ;
COLORS {|| { CLR_BLUE, CLR_WHITE } } ;
FONT AFONT ;
ALIAS "CLI" AUTOSORT

I highly suggest you go this direction

Richard

[James Bott]

Rick and Richard,

I had used my global search looking for "REDEFINE XBROWSE" and it turned up nothing. Thus I assumed it didn't exist. After your posts I manually searched xbrowse.ch and found this:

#xcommand REDEFINE [ COLUMN ] XBROWSE <oBrw> [<clauses,...>] ID <nID> [<moreClauses,...>] ;
=> @ 0,0 XBROWSE <oBrw> [<clauses>] ID <nID> [<moreClauses>]

Of course my automatic search wasn't successful because of the [ COLUMN ] option (actually, I'm not sure what that means).

Thanks for showing me the REDEFINE examples.

James,

Of course my automatic search wasn't successful because of the [ COLUMN ] option (actually, I'm not sure what that means).

Nothing. It only means that you can use

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

REDEFINE XBROWSE

or

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

REDEFINE COLUMN XBROWSE

[James Bott]

Enrico,

Thanks for the clarification. I notice that the COLUMN syntax is also in the TCBrowse.ch. I have never seen the COLUMN syntax used before.

Here is the .ppo of the xBrowse in my above sample ..

Rick Lipkin

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

 oLbxD := XbrowseNew( oUsers, 0, 0,,,, {"Publication",       "Description",       "Billed"}, {160,155,75},,,,,,,,, .F., oRsBillDetail,, .F.,, .F., 111, .F., .T. ,, {"PUBLICATIONNAME",   "DESCRIPTION",       "TOTALBILLED"},,, .F., .F., .T., .T.,,,,, .F., .F. )

         oLbxD:lRecordSelector := .F.
         oLbxD:lHScroll := .F.

         _BrowColor(oLbxD)
 

[James Bott]

Rick,

This is how REDEFINE XBROWSE is processed in xbrowse.ch.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#xcommand REDEFINE [ COLUMN ] XBROWSE  <oBrw> [<clauses,...>] ID <nID> [<moreClauses,...>] ;
      => @ 0,0 XBROWSE <oBrw> [<clauses>] ID <nID> [<moreClauses>]

It appears that it is just changing it to:

@ 0,0 XBROWSE...ID

Then it is handled just the same as if you coded it this way in the first place:

@ 0,0 XBROWSE...

Then the class object is initialized by calling a function ( xbrowsenew() ) rather than the class' New() method. Very strange. I wonder why?

Thanks for pointing this out.

No. It just means that @ 0,0 XBROWSE is in turn preprocessed to xbrowsenew().

[James Bott]

Enrico,

No. It just means that @ 0,0 XBROWSE is in turn preprocessed to xbrowsenew().

Maybe I'm missing something? My point is that the class' New() method is not being called directly but rather through a function. This makes subclassing difficult if not impossible.

Also I see this line in the xbrowsenew() function.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

 oBrw        := TXBrows():New( oWnd )

Isn't this missing an "e"? Shouldn't it be:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

 oBrw        := TXBrowse():New( oWnd )

James

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

James,

Maybe I'm missing something? My point is that the class' New() method is not being called directly but rather through a function.

REDEFINE commands are normally preprocessed to Redefine() method not New() method. Anyway, I agree that there is something unusual inside TXBrowse.
