I need to program several screens for input of data with gets.

Looking for some info I came also on Cuebanner get with its inline, infield,... syntax. They are all in Tget but I wonder at this point and versions is Tget the correct control to use ?

Since it is only a couple of screens I will not use RC or Borland. Just coded gets. Do You have a nice looking dialog with gets coded ? I would like to see the extra code from some of these gets.

Thanks

for a long time since I use harbour instead of clipper I have always used the source screenshots @x,y because the RC eats up a lot of memory, using the rc file only for the images.

I arrived at a personal technique using simply nRow:=10, ncol=5 and nLine spacing =30 obviously nLine spacing changes depending on the fonts used. what do you have in mind in particular? do you have images from which to copy the screenshots?

Sylvio,

Today I came up with a post from you :

https://forums.fivetechsupport.com/view ... =3&t=35098

I think to start building like the first picture but I don't need the animated/moving boxes. AS I said, pretty simple ))

And like you say the basic code. Works ok.

In Tget there is the methods for coloring the inside of a Tget.

@ 100,05 GET oGet2 VAR oKlant:Naam_1 OF oFld2:aDialogs[FOLDERDOC_KASSA] COLOR "N/W*" ;
CUEBANNER "Name" PIXEL BOTTOMBORDER ;
INFIELD;
INCLRTXT CLR_DARKGRAY;
INCLRBORDER CLR_DARKGRAY;
INCLRLINE CLR_HRED;
DYNAMIC;
GROUP

In the info folowing message is included :

All color values included in the clauses can be codeblocks

https://forums.fivetechsupport.com/view ... =3&t=36283

Can someone please explain why this is usefull and give also a sample code of using it ? Maybe it will help me with a design.

Dear Marc,

Could you provide a screenshot of the dialogbox design you are looking for ?

many thanks

Antonio,

I think like this is nice. Bright and nice Icons.

I was playing with Cuebanner and the Infield code, but most likely the Normal Tget have more options in designing.

I will have to look fore some sample prg's where the Tget options are used for bitmap, colors and designing method/data

Posted: **Thu Jan 02, 2025 9:19 am**

In the source, in order to find the options I can see folowing prg's

autoget
fget
mget
tget

fget and tget are the big owns.

I do need to use the tget right ?

Dear Marc,

You can provide that screenshot to chatgpt and ask it to create the RC file and the header file, unless you don't want to use RCs and want to fully build it from source code:

We can also ask chatgpt to write the FiveWin source code for it:

test.prg

Code: Select all | Expand

#include "FiveWin.ch"

Now we can also ask it to write code using FiveWin commands without using the RC:

   LOCAL cPhone := Space(15), cMobile := Space(15), cEmail := Space(40), cVAT := Space(15)

I use ChatGtp a lot, and will try again. but Fwin code is mostly not usable.

Will give it a try ....

Posted: **Thu Jan 02, 2025 10:46 am**

You are right. The BTNBMPs have been ignored in the previous code but it is a help to start with the dialog code

Marc I need where you take this picture ( also the year) to make a search

Posted: **Thu Jan 02, 2025 11:43 am**

Silvio,

This last picture is not from FWin forum, but a Software from Pictures of the NET.

Its just to have a idea. I did see some nice design from you, but when I come to one of them I will show you.

In fact, is you have 1 or 2 gets (only the code) where a lot of stuff in going on like

onchange, valid, colors, bmp's, that would help me a lot. Designing a full dialog in than a matter of small time.

This dialog was taken from an Italian commercial application called Danea Easyfact, but I think we can remake It Easy
