If you don't want the browse fields to EVER be enterable, press the Configure Edit in place | Column Specific buttons, then select which column field you DON'T want to EIP, press Properties button, and then uncheck the Allow Edit-in-place checkbox and press OK. If you need to do this programmatically, because of a condition such as "allow entry on Insert but not on Change" for instance, you'll have to create a BYTE variable in your local Data area, and set it in the control events before generated code for each of your Insert/Change/Delete buttons. Set it to InsertRecord, ChangeRecord or DeleteRecord, depending. Call it SaveRequest. In Local Objects, EIP control, Init method, after the Parent Call: IF SaveRequest = ChangeRecord SELF.SetReadOnly(True) END This prevents the user from changing the column, but they can still select it. To cause the selected column to automatically shift to the right: In Local Objects, EIP control, TakeEvent method, BEFORE the Parent call: IF SaveRequest = ChangeRecord RETURN EditAction::Forward END (Note the double colon. This is correct.) This causes the field to automatically shift to the next field. Printed May 7, 2024, 2:05 pm This article has been viewed/printed 35119 times. |
