enable\disable when EOF

[mikeisvfp]

I have created a right click menu, with items like new cust, edit and delete, i would like to disable edit and delete if the grid has no records, and enable when the user adds a record.

Look for SKIP FOR in the help file.

Did you create this with the menu designer? You can also create a menu in code, generating menu code via the menu designer gives you the code at hand, then you can not only use the SKIP FOR clause to SKIP FOR EOF(), but you can even just not generate that menu item at all, if at EOF().

Bye, Olaf.

Whether you created the menu in code or in the menu designer, your SKIP FOR clause should look something like this:

SKIP FOR RECCOUNT("MyAlias") = 0

That assumes the the cursor or table does not contain deleted records.

Neither. The SKIP FOR clause is part of the menu. It's a clause of the DEFINE BAR command. You can also enter it into the menu designer, in the Prompt Options dialogue.
