How to do Edit in Place in a browse table within an Update form? 3

sgreer · Oct 30, 2002

Here's the deal...I've got an update screen with a browse table included. Specifically, it's a punch clock type of program. The user selects a specific date which then opens the update screen that includes a browse table for entering time entries (in office, out office, lunch, etc..).

The problem is that I would like do "Edit in Place" on that browse table and can't figure out how to do it because there is NO Insert button on the browse table where I can turn that function on.

There has got to be a simple fix . . . right?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Scott!
You can always make the Edit In Place using Prop:Edit for the list box, but it's require some hand-coding.
See Prop:edit in the Clarion Help.

If you are looking for simplest solution you can add the "BrowseUpdateButtons" template and then turn Edit In Place on. But Cancel button on Update screen will not work properly in this case, because ABC Edit in Place works directly with the browsing file.

Write me if you have some questions: interpavel@mail.ru

Pavel.

Thanks Pavel. That was helpful. Now I'm stuck with another EIP problem. I change one of my EIP columns to EditDropClass (Column Specific)to get the drop list in a specific column. Now when I try to enter data in that column, the drop list appears but it comes up blank - my 6 data options do not appear. Yet, when I exit the column, the program informs me (error box)that my entry was not among the 6 valid entries.
