ABC: Drag and drop between browses

Newsgroups: topspeed.products.c5ee > What are the rules that needs to be in place within the two browses for this > to work? At the start of the drag, do a brw1.updateviewrecord() on the browse you are draging from. Copy those fields you want to copy to global variables. On drop, read from the global variables then clear them. If on drop the global variables were not all blank, then copy them into the new record and call access:file.tryInsert(). Of course watch out for duplicate key entries, autonumbering and any other requirements. As far as ethics or policy, we dont have any, written anyway. Ask all the questions you want but dont expect all of them to be answered. I get rather annoyed (personnally) when people compain that their questions are not answered as if they had paid money and had a guarantee that they should be aswered. There is paid tech support available for that. It would be great if there was a volunteer answer for every question but that doesnt happen. The biggest way to get your question aswered is to state it well. For example, always include the version of cW and template set (abc or clarion). Re read your message from the view point of someone who has never seen your program or problem. Try to end with a succint question like 'How do I drag a record from a browse to another browse based on different file on another window using C5EEGold/ABC?' --- Jim Kane
