Hi Alastair
Would this take more space compared to a DB check box? My form is getting
tight on space, we will have several tiers and each one
had 5 lined and a noted field at the bottom.
Since I could have 13 images for each of the 5 rows it seems this would get
complicated.
The Bit Buttons would work fine if the other tiers didn't change too.
Am I correct, would I have to do this for each A B C then for each of the 5
lines?
Thanks for the help
Marc

Marc,
I'm pretty sure it would work for you - images are clickable and can run EEPs.
I've had time now to look up how my form works:
I have a special table with 4 images, in my case, each with an Id code: MI,
MZ, ZI & ZZ.
The form has these variables:
20 : TEXT vHint1 = (IFGT(INT_WritMus,10001, 'M', 'Z'))
21 : TEXT vHint2 = (IFGT(INT_PublInst,10001, 'I', 'Z'))
22 : TEXT vHint3 = (.vHint1 + .vHint2)
23 : VARBIT vImage = Status_Image FROM WPMI_Indicator WHERE
Status_Indicator = .vHint3
The idea is to display the appropriate image when either of a pair of DBEdits
contains a name that does not (yet) exist in a look-up table so that I can
either add the name or vary the entry. My images indicate both okay
(effectively no image but actually a piece of background colour), both missing
or one or other missing.
In your case I guess that you could place three varbit variables and display
- look-up - either the "clicked" or "unclicked" version of your ABC letters.
Click one of the images and change it to the clicked version and change both
the other two to their unclicked versions. Get clever and change the hints with
property commands as well.
The neat trick is the lookup (variable 23 above) which works "properly" for
all rows in the S/R.
Regards,
Alastair.

I didn't think of that, as long as the image stayed highlighted so you
could see what
the correct answer was that would be OK but can images do that?
Thanks

Marc,
I think it was Karen (and if it wasn't apologies to whoever it was) who
gave me an idea about using images in a S/R that stay "correct" from row to row.
Could you use three clickable images for your letters and cycle from one
to the next with each click? So A goes to B; B goes to C and C goes to A.
If you think that might work I'll dig out the method for you - I can't
remember how it works of the top of my head.
Regards,
Alastair.

Hi Bernie
I really need one column for the A B C
The Bit button almost works but the second
tier gets changed too.
thanks Marc

Put 3 db check boxes in your region and let them check the one they
want.
You would also have to create 3 more columns in your table called A B
C.
Will that work for you?

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Scrolling Region and DB Check box
HI
I am stuck on something that should be very simple.
I have a Scrolling Region and would love to use a Radio Group
but that is not possible.
I have a text field with 1 character that I want to store A B or C
Instead of having a DB Edit and typing in A B C, I would like
to have the same type of look and feel of the Radio Group.
I have played with Buttons and DB Check boxes but can't seem
to get it figured out. Also I would like the object to be
highlighted
in when using the form so you can tell what the value of the field
is.
An I way off target or is this possible?
Thanks
Marc
