Hi all,
I have run into something I can not figure out.
I have a label on a form
I have a customer`s name "G&G name"
when I say form.label.value := "Customer: "+customer->name
the label will not show the & the labels value becomes GG name.
any ideas;
Thanx .. Franco

Transform & to && before writing to label value
Code: Select all
form.label.value := "Customer: "+strtran(customer->name, "&", "&&")

Hello Franco,
Try to add the NOPREFIX clause to your Label definition.
Hope that helps

Here is an example:
Code: Select all
#include "hmg.ch"
MEMVAR _HMG_SYSDATA
FUNCTION Main()
LOCAL cText := "G&G name"
DEFINE WINDOW MainWnd;
ROW 100;
COL 100;
WIDTH 180;
HEIGHT 120;
TITLE "NOPREFIX label";
MAIN;
NOSIZE;
NOMINIMIZE;
NOMAXIMIZE
DEFINE LABEL Text1
ROW 20
COL 20
WIDTH 140
VALUE cText
NOPREFIX .F.
END LABEL
DEFINE LABEL Text2
ROW 50
COL 20
WIDTH 140
VALUE cText
NOPREFIX .T.
END LABEL
END WINDOW
MainWnd.ACTIVATE
RETURN NIL
