Converting from DOS Clarion 2.1 to Clarion for Win - Questions
For the past 8 years I've used various versions of Clarion for DOS.
I recently started playing around with the Clarion for Windows
version (standard edition) and several questions have come up.
In all the Clarion for Windows FORM entry screens, you have to use
the TAB key to move between fields. Is there a way to use the ENTER
key to move between fields? For myself and my exisiting Clarion for
DOS users, they are used to using the ENTER key.
Also when in a TABLE in Clarion for DOS, I can represent a record on
multiple lines. See this example:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Customer Master Maintenance |
| TEST CUST, INC. |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| CUSTOMER BILLING INFORMATION CUSTOMER SHIPPING INFORMATION |
|Abrv Name City Name City |
|COL1 TEST CUSTOMER INC. COLUMBUS, SAME |
| 1234 ANYWHERE AVE. OH 99999 |
| |
|COLU TEST CUSTOMER INC. COLUMBUS, TEST CUSTOMER BRANCH COLUMBUS,|
| 54321 SOUTH MAIN OH 99999 7777 WEST MAIN OH 99999 |
| |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ESC - Quit INS - Insert DEL - Delete ENTER - Change |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Each ABRV above is a different address that is related to a
customer. Each Address has multipe lines for street, city, zip
etc.. This type of information is very natural to view in multiple
lines like above.
So far in my limited experimentation with Clarion for WIN, the
BROWSE template seems to be the equivilant to the TABLE. But I have
yet to figure out how to present multiple lines for a single record
in a BROWSE template.
Any help on these 2 questions would be most appreciated. Please
send email directly back to me.
Thanks for your help,
Jerry
