Modifying cell content in Grid

[beedubau]

On a hand coded form I have a grid with picture details produced from a table with filesize in bytes.

I wish to display this in my grid in the in the more normal form of nnn Kb.

        THISFORM.grid1.ADDOBJECT('Column6','Column')
        WITH THISFORM.grid1.Column6
            .CONTROLSOURCE = 'PICTURES.FSIZE'
            .Header1.CAPTION = 'FileSize'

How do I do that?

Can I add a ' Kb' after the value in the field?

Thanks

Bryan

Yes if you make this column character, e.g.

this.column1.ControlSource = [transform(MyTable.mySize) + " Kb."] - column will be read-only.

BTW, I have a nice form for selecting files with icons, etc.

Thanks Ilyad,

I used

.ControlSource = [transform(INT(PICTURES.fSize/1024)) + " Kb"]

Your form sounds interesting - is it available?

Regards

I posted a form's code in another forum, but this form is based on Frank Deitrich's IconBuddy class to get program associated icons. If I would be able to contact Frank (my attempt to send him private e-mail faled so far) I'll ask him to post the latest version including two simple forms.
