Fill data from dbf file in grid combobox control

Post by drz »

Hi everyone,
I can not figure out how to fill data from dbf file to a combobox defined in grid control. All smples are only using fixed strings from table; but i need to choose a record from dbf file, linked to grid.

Thanks in advance for possible hint or solution.

If you use grid to display database, your current row contains one value per each field. So, what do you want to display in combobox?

Hello,

Please take a look for the following interesting sample:

Code: Select all

/*
   GRID with diferential COMBOBOX at same column

*/

#include "hmg.ch"

Function Main
PRIVATE aRows [20][3]

aRows  [1]  := { 113.12, date(),   1,  1, .t. }
aRows  [2]  := { 123.12, date(),   2,  2, .f. }
aRows  [3]  := { 133.12, date(),   3,  3, .t. }
aRows  [4]  := { 143.12, date(), "A",  4, .f. }
aRows  [5]  := { 153.12, date(),   2,  5, .t. }
aRows  [6]  := { 163.12, date(),   3,  6, .f. }
aRows  [7]  := { 173.12, date(), "B",  7, .t. }
aRows  [8]  := { 183.12, date(),   2,  8, .f. }
aRows  [9]  := { 193.12, date(), "A",  9, .t. }
aRows [10]  := { 113.12, date(),   1, 10, .f. }
aRows [11]  := { 123.12, date(),   2, 11, .t. }
aRows [12]  := { 133.12, date(), "C", 12, .f. }

Hope that give you an idea :idea:
