AnagCorsi.Activate

I don't remember in clipper language this statement. I think it is a statemente to activate the form in the window.. or better ... to activate the form inside the procedure.

Have you got a list about this statement? I don't have them, and I cant' found them on the site.

If you are simply looking for the hmg-reference, you may find this link useful: http://harbourminigui.googlepages.com/reference.htm

I found the code in the folder SAMPLES very useful. They are also documented here: http://harbourminigui.googlepages.com/tutorial

Rick

windowname.release() will close a previously activated window
windowname.hide() wil hide a window, that was displayed with windowname.show()

So you will need to define a button and make the on action property "windowname.release()"

Have a merry christmas

Lovely.. i will study!

Thanks for all and Happy xmas to you all!!!

Hello Riccardo and Jan

Since you are using HMG, all necessary documents are in your own PC too;
simply look at C:\hmg\DOC folder

Alternatively, our forum too have some useful documentation, especially for beginners


Happy HMG'ing

Ok...
lovely!

Thanking to all of you.. and aof course to Harbour Miniguide, I am able now to build a navigation system through the windows.

I'm just filling the field and now i have to store data into a database.

At the moment I an trying to do it in this way:
Well, in this way, the compiler doesn't return any error, but the RECNO() is not displayed in the Window.

So, maybe I have to put this part of the code inside of window definition.

Is it true?

I tried to do it at the beginning but i didn't see the result inside the window.

Hello Riccardo

Well, very good advances

You are working while holiday, like me

Unfortunately we can't use "?" command in GUI, within a window, it left only console mode.

You may open a TEXTBOX and put RECNO() in it or you can show RECNO() as a part of STATUSBAR.

And please don't forget, within a procedure / function, code written after ACTIVATE command never excuted !

Instead, you have coding it a separate procedure / function or codeblock and call with a GUI way. For example USE istruttori NEW command may be in ON INIT clause and CLOSE istruttori command may be in ON RELEASE clause of DEFINE WINDOW AggiungiIstruttore command.

For displaying record no, you have add an another GUI command and probably a button for calling this "display recno" procedure.

Probably you will add navigation commands "next record", "previous record", "go top" and "go bottom". So you can add "display recno" statement inside of these navigation procedur / function.

By the way, when graphical control defined inside of a window/form definition, yo have't use OF <windowName> clause.

Happy HMG'ing

Sorry, this isn't fully correct

The correct explanation must be such as :

Within a procedure / function, code written after ACTIVATE command can't be executed until activated form released.

Since when MAIN window released program terminated, if that form is MAIN window, that code never executed.

For displaying record no, you have add an another GUI command and probably a button for calling this "display recno" procedure.

Alternatively, you may use Msgxxx() functions for displaying intermediate results / infos; like WAIT command or Alert() function of Clipper / console mode. Since HMG's native Msgxxx() functions accept only CHAR type data, you may use STR( RECNO() ) notation for RECNO(), or simply use MsgMulty() function by downloading from my web page.

Hello Esgici!

It isn't true that MgsBox accepts only char data!
Please try MsgBox(recno())
it will open message box with record number!
Naturally, we can't mix data with different types.

Hi Mol

Thanks, I have tried, but message box open withOUT record number!

What is different between you and me ?

uppps!
maybe I'm wrong?
I use MsgBox() sometimes to debug some variables in program and I was sure that calling this function with number is enabled and will convert it to string automatically.

Maybe I automatically called it with msgbox(str(... etc.?
