Par2: Clearing locator 2000-03-03 -- Josh Landin Assuming you are using ABC this is an easy way of getting your results. Goto
the Source of the Browse procedure and search for:
Locator.TakeKey PROCEDURE
Inside that TakeKey method, right before it RETURNs you can input the
following code:
?locatorstr{PROP:TEXT} = clip(SELF.shadow)
(where '?locatorstr' is your screen string for displaying the locator field)
That'll take care of it. Should look like this:
ReturnValue =PARENT.TakeKey()
! [Priority 7500]
!---------------grey edge------------------------- ;-)
?locatorstr{PROP:TEXT} = clip(SELF.shadow)
!---------------grey edge------------------------- ;-)
! End of "Locator Method Executable Code Section"
RETURN ReturnValue
Keep in mind that if you add more locators to the same browse box (ie:
Conditional locators) then you must embed the same line of code into their
TakeKey methods.
As for clearing it every 7 seconds, you can use a timer on the window to
call one of the Locator methods. Possibly Locator.Set() or Locator.Reset()
