Re: Drag & drop a file - what am I missing?

Pat, not using v17 - but yes. I have never tried picture dropping, but I was unable to get Drag N drop to function to a field. I work around this (and it makes the target easier for the user) by using an invisible button which covers a section of the screen so that the user can drag n drop any

Drag & drop a file - what am I missing?

Using v17 - Until now I've implemented drag & drop between objects, for example list boxes. No problem. But now I want to allow the user to drop a file onto a field and save the file's pathname in the field. I cannot get this to work and indeed the docs imply that this should only work with variab

'Clairvoyance' in listBox (v17r5)

I would to: • click a listbox (to ‘focus’ on it) • type - and have it automatically search in the list and highlight the closest match. Of course, this is common in ’traditional’ apps. For many years, I have jury-rigged this by using a ‘quick scroll’ var on a form. The user clicks into this var

Re: [Tip]Set Query Destination

Doug: Good practice. I always have the set and reset code within the same method. Then when we run our QA method, if one is missing it records the error, and places the method with the error description in our listbox to fix. Good structured coding practices, also makes it much easier to write

Chip: When Set query limit and Set query destination came out, I ran into the situation where queries “stopped working” because I had forgotten to add the code to reset them. To avoid that, I made it a practice to type the “reset” code *before* I type the code to change the destination or limit fr
