Form Window Calculated Field 1

[AlanBreck1000]

I have an update form window on which I have fields for amount, percentage and hours and a filed to hold the calculation of (amount*percentage)/100 * hours. This is a formula.

The question is, is there any way to see the calculation prior to exiting the form on the initial entry? Right now it will not calculate until I go back into the form for a second time.

Using Clarion 5 PE

Hi Alan,

For the Calculations to be calculated & displayed properly, you need to execute it on every EVENT:Accepted irrespective of the control being accepted. If the calculation are intensive you need to save previous values of the data elements involved in the calculations and re-calculate ONLY if they have changed. If you are using ABC, the WindowManager method to use is TAKEACCEPTED - top of the Accept Loop.

-- your code here

CASE ACCEPTED()

END
