xBrowse questions from newbie

[reds]

Just starting to use FW to convert an old DOS program and have a couple of initial questions on xBrowse

Is there a way of splitting the column headers over two rows

e.g. "Stock Code" & "Cost Price"

to display as headers
Stock Cost
Code Price


I would also like to display entries for logical fields as "Y" or "N"

Many thanks
Peter

to answer Your questions :

Stock Cost
Code Price

I would also like to display entries for logical fields as "Y" or "N"

syntax-sample :
( completed with header-splitting ( next post from Mr. Rao ) and shows
the different results of logical field-syntax )

Code: Select all  Expand view

HEADERS "Recno()", "  Last" + CRLF + "( Index )", "First", "Age", "HireDate", "Married"

WITH OBJECT oBrw
     // header linefeed
     :nHeaderLines := 2

     // images for YES / NO
     :Married:SetCheck( { c_path1 + "Checkon.bmp", c_path1 + "Checkoff.bmp" }, EDIT_GET )      
     // or a checkbox
     :Married:SetCheck()  
     
     // group-header
     :SetGroupHeader( "Name", 1, 3 ) // 'Recno()', 'FIRST', 'LAST'
     :SetGroupHeader( "Data", 4, 6 ) // 'AGE', 'HIREDATE', 'MARRIED'

     :CreateFromCode()
END

Specify the header as "Stock Code" + CRLF + "Cost Price"

Specify
oBrw:nHeaderLines := 2
