Can you get control while still in GET editing region.

[1421]

HI!
When I am using the 'GET' editing control (@ 1,1 get xyz pict '9999'), after I exit i am using the 'valid' feature to process the inputed data. Is there a way, to access this data & perform a process, while I am still in the editing control?

Thank You

Unless you're using FoxPro 2.x or earlier, there's no reason to use @GET. When you use VFP's forms and controls instead, you have a lot more opportunities to run code. For example, in a textbox (the replacement for the type of @GET you showed), you can have code run both every time the user types a keystroke and every time the data in the textbox changes, as well as when the user is finished.

You should follow suggestions as above.

but you could do this. the v_udf() must return true (.t.) to continue to the next get statement.

*
* -------------------------------------------------------
*
i_var = 123.45
i_var2 = 'Test'

@ 1,1 say 'Valid Clause' get i_var pict '9999.99' valid v_udf(i_var)

@ 2,1 say 'Just for Testing ' get i_var2

read

@ 20,1 say i_var
@ 21,1 say i_var2

return

Function v_udf
para p_var

@ 23,1 say p_var

return .t.

try it

I have lots of problems reading correctly.
I thought, he may be using valid on the same @ SAY GET line and not calling the function.

Thanks Mike.
