System.DesktopWidth
System.DesktopHeight

Hi All,

As you must know, I've been a FoxPro/Visual FoxPro programmer and WAIT WINDOW is one thing that I miss a lot... so I've decide to have one at HMG

Regards,

Roberto.

[esgici]

Hi Roberto

For a long time I had think on a "temporary message" and don't had find a satisfying result.

Thanks a lot again

BTW, do you don't sleep at weekends

BTW, do you don't sleep at weekends

Well... believe it or not... programming HMG is an 'entretaining' and 'relaxing' task for me... so... this has been a nice weekend...

Anyway... is sunny here... so... if no serious bug appears... I'll ride my dog... he is looking at me in a way that make me feel 'guilty'

Regards,

Roberto.

... if no serious bug appears...

Hi Roberto,

There is a small issue in the procedure _HMG_SetGridCellEditValue() at the new HMG build.

Please be so kind to replace

Code: Select all

...
	ELSEIF	ValType ( arg ) == 'N'

		If IsControlDefined ( 'c' , FormName)

			SetProperty ( "_hmg_grid_inplaceedit" , "c" , "value" , arg )

		ElseIf IsControlDefined ( 's' , FormName)

			SetProperty ( "_hmg_grid_inplaceedit" , "s" , "value" , arg )

		EndIf
...

with

Code: Select all

...
	ELSEIF	ValType ( arg ) == 'N'

		If _IsControlDefined ( 'c' , "_hmg_grid_inplaceedit")

			SetProperty ( "_hmg_grid_inplaceedit" , "c" , "value" , arg )

		ElseIf _IsControlDefined ( 's' , "_hmg_grid_inplaceedit")

			SetProperty ( "_hmg_grid_inplaceedit" , "s" , "value" , arg )

		EndIf
...

Excuse me for disturbing
