without using Dan's conversion tools. This is under the Legacy templates. I
take the following steps:
- I use a utility to dump my embeds out to a text file and I pull that up in
notepad.
- I pull up the source for the PowerBrowse procedure in another notepad
session.
- I remove the old procedure and replace it with the browse template.
- I populate the proper files
- I populate the list box format with the same fields, but I don't worry
about the format details
- I copy the format string from the Powerbrowse-based source into the window
declaration (using the button that lets you edit the window's source code)
- I also copy bits of the old window source in like button positions, window
size, etc. Be carefull not to disrupt any of the template hints (those
things with the # signs)
- I copy the old embeds from the old source and make any necessary changes
- I make sure the proper actions are set on the new browse
- Compile and test
This is usually a 10 minute procedure for simple forms. Complex ones can
take a bit longer. The main thing I haven't had much success emulating is
the reverse sort order that Powerbrowse makes so easy. If I need multiple
list box formats for a single browse I use Mike Hanson's freeware template
to do that.
