Hello there, I am an experienced MapInfo user and have just purchased MapBasic. I need to come up with an easy way of creating custom proformas with drop down boxes to poulate tables in the field on tablets. I have been looking at the 'control popupmenu' function within the 'dialog' function, does anyone have any ideas? I have tried to do it by looping x number of times and adding a new drop down box for eah loop:
i.e. X = number of columns Y = dropdown list string ddist = the distance down from the top of the dialog box of each drop down box dialog title "Please fill in DATA fields" Ddist=ddist+10 'then the loop For x = 1 to x control popupmenu ID x title from variable Y Position 100, ddist next x This doesn't seem to work am I barking up the wrong tree completely? Is there a simple way of building data input boxes for tables? Any help would be greatly appreciated Giles -- Giles [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Does exactly what it says on the tin -- Giles [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Send your email first class _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
