It's me again, but I have so much to learn:
Is it right that procedures can only be inside a *.prg file?

BTW: It's fun programming with HMG and having this forum, you know, I'm not a professional coder.

I don't understand your question.
BTW here are you from ?

Hi,
What I mean is: I write a source code and save it to a *.prg file, in this file I can call procedures ( do procedure) that are part of this *.prg file. Can I call a procedure which is not part of the *.prg file?

I come from Germany, to be exact from the south of Germany, known as Bayern, capital Munic, (Bavaria).

Robert

Yes you can.
Unless it is a STATIC PROCEDURE

STATIC PROCEDURE and/or FUNCTION can only be called from the same .prg

The difference among a PROCEDURE and a FUNCTION ?

PROCEDURES allways RETURN NIL
FUNCTIONS can RETURN any value

AND...

there's no need to use DO ( It's deprecated in clipper since ages )
simply call the procedure by it's name.

PROCEDURE Main()
proc1()
proc2()
return

Hi @ everyone,
my small app is growing, the following code (i have left out the main window stuff) shows how i call procedures,
the first 2 items with no need for a user dialog "Tagesdatum" what means daily data, are working just fine.

Now I want the user select per datepicker a start date and en end date for a report. The records are appended to dbf file.

I call a procedure datum() and get the following error:

Control: date.1 of win_1 not defined,
the error is caused by main(46)=activate Window win_1.



DEFINE POPUP 'D&aten'
ITEM 'Tagesdaten bereitstellen' ACTION woche()
ITEM 'Tagesdaten einlesen' ACTION filltag()
ITEM 'Enter date' ACTION datum()
END POPUP

DEFINE POPUP 'F&ahrerstamm'
ITEM 'Suchen' ACTION suchen()
END POPUP


END MENU

END WINDOW


ACTIVATE WINDOW Win_1



Return

procedure datum
Win_1.date_1.Value:=Date()
@ 80,10 DATEPICKER date()
return

I do not have a main.fmg window, is this necessary?
And how do I call that control, where is the link between my main.prg and those many useful controls?

I hope you can give me help.

Regards Robert

BTW:
If I define the date_1 of win_1 via item action (like shown in the sample) the datepicker shows up permanently, but I want to show it only up, when called.

Robert,

Better send the whole package of PRG, FMG etc. Now it is incomplete and difficult to see what wrong.

Hi Serge,

Is there a way to attach the files or must I copy and paste the content of the files?

Regards Robert

Hi Robert,

Just put it in a ZIP file and then go to 'Full Editor & Preview' then you can add files!
