ABC: EIP using drop downs 1999-03-31 -- Jay Guengerich Newsgroups: topspeed.products.c5ee
Bob Gaucher posted a message back in January which I think is already in your KB, along
with a short follow-up post from Steve Parker. The subject was FileDropCombo in
EditInPlace. I basically followed his example, although I just used the EditDropList
class because I don't want my users to be able to add new items to the list. I didn't
have to worry about CREATEing a DropCombo, or putting new entries back into NameQ or the
Names file. The only important code I added is after all of the PROP:whatever
assignments using his variable names):
CurrentlyUsed = 1
GET(NameQ,CurrentlyUsed)
LOOP UNTIL ERRORCODE() OR NameQ.Name = PEO:Name
CurrentlyUsed += 1
GET(NameQ,CurrentlyUsed)
END
SELECT(SELF.FEQ, CurrentlyUsed)
This might not be optimized, as discussed in Steve Parker's message.
Also, I had to add the following before filling the queue:
Access:Names.UseFile() !tells lazyopen to open the file
