Par2: Locator for secondary file in a browse
2001-06-08 -- Dennis Evans
 
>On the second tab the browse is sorted by a > field in the secondary file (which is the one part of the one to >many relationship). Because of this there is no key in the second >tab. However my users want to be able to have an entry locator >in the secondary table to more easily find records. If you are using the Additional Sort fields to set the sort order of the second browse, then the ResetFromBuffer and the Reset methods will accomplish the task. Add a control to the screen, call it tempValue or something in the accepted event for the control Pre:FileField = tempValue BrwX.ResetFromBuffer() now in the Reset(byte Locate) method for the browse, before the parent call if (tempValue) ! something is there Locate = X end X will be equal to the sequence position of the field you want to locate. Example, if the sort order is Pre:FieldOne, Pre:FieldTwo and you want to locate FieldTwo then X would be 2, or three and so on. Since you are not using a File relationship, no key, to limit the browse you will need to make sure the fields prior to the one you want to locate are primed correctly. If the child browse is range limited by the parent and using additional sort fields then all that you need to do is add locator normally and adjust the value returned by the GetFreeElementPosition and the locators free element property.
