>From the Edge: Using AUTODROP Command in R:BASE 2000 for Windows
Section:                Forms: Automatic Combo-Box Drop-Down List 
Chapter:                Running R:BASE Your Way! 
Platform:               R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows
Build:                  1.840JxRT03 and Higher ... 
======================================================================

Among many NEW COMMANDS and ENHANCEMENTS in R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) 
for Windows, a new SET AUTODROP ON/OFF option has also been added. 

When AUTODROP is SET to ON, this new setting controls the feature 
for a combo-box in a form to automatically drop-down the list when 
it gets focus. The editable or non-editable automatic drop-down 
list of combo box will allow the user to place the value into a 
column or variable.

Syntax:         SET AUTODROP OFF/ON

Default:        OFF

The default for AUTODROP is to be OFF which makes previous versions 
of R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5) for Windows behave in the standard way. 

This new setting can be saved in your R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for 
Windows RBASE.CFG file or in your individual application startup 
file. 

Supported environments: 

. RBASE.CFG
. Command File
. EEPs

Notes:

. SHOW AUTODROP will display the current setting of AUTODROP.

. (CVAL('AUTODROP')) will return the current setting of AUTODROP.

Stay tuned for more ...

Very Best Regards,

Razzak.
