bBrowser Edit problem
in [Visual Objects]

From: Grant on 10 Mar 2010 13:05 Hello all. I am appending a record to a browser and want the first field of the new record to be an editable date field. It appends and opens in edit mode but I can't save it or any other fields until I move the cursor to a differnet record and then back. Does this make sense? Once the cursor has moved up and down a record the new record can be saved. It looks like I haven't been able to set the edit mode after the append properly. The following is some of the code I am trying to use. The postinit sets the browser to edit mode "self:oDCbBrowser1:Editable := true" and the new record is appended as follows: METHOD OnInsert() CLASS dtwJOB //append a new record IF self:oDCbBrowser1:Used self:oDCbBrowser1:Append() self:oDCbBrowser1:CurrentColumn:=1 self:oDCbBrowser1:Edit() self:oDCbBrowser1:Recalculate() self:oDCbBrowser1:Refresh() ENDIF RETURN nil Then the date and cusomer field are entered in the callback method as follows: Method RecordAppend(oEvent) class dtwJob Local dDate as date dDate := Today() oEvent:Server:SuspendNotification() // evaluate append mode if oEvent:Mode=BRA_APPENDED // cCustomer := cFName // initialize new record oEvent:Server:FIELDPUT(#CUSTOMER, cFName) oEvent:Server:FIELDPUT(#JDATE,dDate) oEvent:Server:Commit() endif oEvent:Server:ResetNotification() oEvent:Server:Notify( NOTIFYRECORDCHANGE ) return .T. This al works fine. Now I want the append operation to finish with the date field open for editing and be able to enter data into the other fields and to save the data. Now I can edit the fields but not save. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
From: Geoff Schaller on 10 Mar 2010 17:03 Easy - you need a CellEdit() method in your owner window. Look up the bBrowser help for detailed examples.

I studied the example but still having problems. I have a CellEdit() method. It contains the drop down boxes for a number of fields where the user can choose from lists to enter data. I added a section to detect when the first cell(#JDATE)is in edit mode and I can do things when it is detected but I not sure what to do. I still don't see why the cell initially will allow me to edit it but not save it unless I move the cursor to another record and back (press the down key). Also I'm not sure what EditMode the cell should be in to accept and save data. The following is a section that I added to the CellEdit() with no change. Please advise. METHOD CellEdit(oEvent) CLASS dtwJob LOCAL oColumn as bDataColumn IF oEvent:EditMode=BEDIT_CREATE oColumn := oEvent:Control:GetOpenColumn(oEvent:EditCell:Column) IF oColumn:FieldSym==#JDATE self:oDCbBrowser1:Editable := true ENDIF ....
From: Geoff Schaller on 11 Mar 2010 02:08 Grant, You will have a little bit of this on your own - and Joachim's sample it pretty detailed... But, let's try this: CellEdit is a callback method. The edit process is "live" Each stage of the edit is sent to the callback method You can then intercept and prevent or allow each action Obviously can then also do other 'stuff' at any one of these stages. The database is written to after BEDIT_COMMIT The edit control is removed after BEDIT_END But this is a "live" grid and so things must happen to refresh the rest of the row etc. The grid can be in one of several modes - have you gone through ALL the property settings of the bBrowser 3.0 control to see what each of them does because certain ones behave differently. Auto Edit has 5 different modes - it sounds like you need #Excel or #Sensitive. Again the docs explain this. Auto Append can replace your append code. FieldChange Mode is critical. Try #Flexible (look up the docs for the meaning) Alternately, make a small sample app, paste it to the forum and we can all work on it together. Geoff PS - Please top post rather than bottom post. It makes it a lot easier to find the more recent comments. > > Sorry not easy to me. I studied the example but still having problems. > I have a CellEdit() method.

Hi Grant, I would suggest that you do it like this instead. (see code below). Going to edit-mode automatically does not help the user very much. Edit mode is started on the first key stroke anyway and only makes it more complicated if the user regrets the append. /Mathias METHOD OnInsert() CLASS dtwJOB //append a new record IF self:oDCbBrowser1:Used self:oDCbBrowser1:Append() self:oDCbBrowser1:Refresh() DoEvents() self:oDCbBrowser1:CurrentColumn:=1 self:oDCbBrowser1:Edit() // You could skip this...
