You can check which sort is being triggered in the Browse Class' embed:
SetOrder PROCEDURE(STRING Order)
I used the following to change a prompt when a header sort was changed: In
the SetOrder Data Embed I declared:
FirstOrder String(150)
Then in the SetOrder Code embed before parent call I had something like:
FirstOrder = Order
Case FirstOrder[1]
Of '-' OROF '+'
FirstOrder = SUB(FirstOrder,2,LEN(CLIP(FirstOrder)))
End
If Instring(',',CLIP(FirstOrder),1,1)>0
FirstOrder = SUB(FirstOrder,1,INSTRING(',',FirstOrder,1,1)-1)
End
Case FirstOrder
Of 'TBL:CustID'
?Tab1Locator_Prmpt{Prop:Text} = 'Cust #:'
?SearchVar{Prop:Text} = '@N7'
Of 'TBL:Invoice'
?Tab1Locator_Prmpt{Prop:Text} = 'Invoice #:'
?SearchVar{Prop:Text} = '@N7'
Of 'TBL:INVDate')
?Tab1Locator_Prmpt{Prop:Text} = 'Date:'
?SearchVar{Prop:Text} = '@D5'
Else
?Tab1Locator_Prmpt{Prop:Text} = 'Search:'
?SearchVar{Prop:Text} = '@S20'
End
