Memo field in browse 2

[Nro]

Hello
Is it possible to open a Memo field programmatically when you browse a file? I can’t use a grid because it’s a legacy application.
Thank in advance.

ALT+F4 closes the browse window and you can let pageup and down do their work by programming the editobx.keypress. Eg define a grideditbox class with desired behaviour and add that instead of the normal textbox. You can toggle whether tab in an editobx cause indentation or tabbing to the next control (column) by AllowTabs.

Yes, new things have different behaviour, but you also see the advantage to display several lines, if you make the column wide and high enough.

Bye, Olaf.

Sorry, STRG+F4 would be the thing to KEYB to exit a browse window.

I agree with Dan, though, the solution fits and works easier. I tried to bind the editbox keypress to something of the browse window, but that didn't redirected PgUp and PgDwn to scroll the grid and needing a grideditbox and using DoScroll would overcomplicate things.

Bye, Olaf.

Seems you have read Les Pinter, he also predefines ENTER and RIGHTCLICK the way you do.
