Calculated Field in a Grid

[koppelsteel]

I am converting some old DOS Foxpro programs to VFP 6.0. I have one program that uses the browse command where one of the columns calls a UDF to display the Status of the current order. The UDF does a lookup against other tables and returns a character string.

In my new program I am trying to use the Grid control to replace the broswe but I can't get it to display the Status value.

Can this be done? If so,how.

Yes that can be done easily enough.

Simply type the function name into the ControlSource for the given column - make it read only and set the sparce to false...

That works for me

As an alternative to Griff's suggestion, you could use the .DynamicCurrentControl property of the column.

This in turn would call a form method, object method or function in which the value of the textbox in the column in the grid would be calculated.

Again the .Sparse property of the column would need to be .F.
