ABC: Small demo template 1998-08-09 -- Jim Dennison Newsgroups: comp.lang.clarion

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to accomplish, but for what it's worth
I've been racking my brain for about six weeks with a large template chain.
It would be nice if someone wrote a book on template design to help us trial
and error programmers. But maybe that's what seperates the pros from the
amateurs.
When you do finaly break the down the wall you've been hitting your head
against and get your template to work, it's really exciting!
Anyway for whatever it's worth heres's a group of buttons for forms, browses, reports, etc
with my embeded source code. I extracted this control template from my chain, which contains
Window Templates, Code Templates, Extension Templates, Control Templates etc.
All of the code below works, maybe it will help:
#CONTROL (QueryBrowseButtons, 'Browse Query, Reset, & Report Buttons')
CONTROLS
BUTTON('&Query'),AT(,,45,14),USE(?QueryButton)
BUTTON('&Reset'),AT(50,0,45,14),USE(?ResetButton)
BUTTON('Query Re&port'),AT(50,0,57,14),USE(?QueryReportButton)
END
#BOXED ('Query Template')
#DISPLAY (' Select An Existing Query Window Procedure')
#DISPLAY (' Or Enter A Unique Name For A New Query Window.')
#DISPLAY ('')
#PROMPT ('Query Window Procedure:', PROCEDURE), %SelectQueryWindowName, REQ
#PROMPT ('Select Report For Query:', PROCEDURE), %ReportProcedure
#ENDBOXED
#AT (%ControlEventHandling, '?QueryButton', 'Accepted')
%SelectQueryWindowName !QueryWindow
If QueryString
Brw1.SetFilter(QueryString)
Else
Brw1.SetFilter(QueryString)
End
ThisWindow.Reset(True)
ENABLE(?ResetButton)
#ENDAT
#AT (%ControlEventHandling, '?ResetButton', 'Accepted')
Clear(QueryString)
DISPLAY
If QueryString
Brw1.SetFilter(QueryString)
Else
Brw1.SetFilter(QueryString)
End
ThisWindow.Reset(True)
IF NOT QueryString
DISABLE(?ResetButton)
ELSE
ENABLE(?ResetButton)
END
#ENDAT
#AT (%ControlEventHandling, '?QueryReportButton', 'Accepted')
%ReportProcedure
#ENDAT
#CONTROL (QueryFormButton, 'Button to Save Query')
CONTROLS
BUTTON('&Use Query String'),AT(,,75,14),USE(?UseQueryStringButton)
END
#BOXED (' Save Query Form Button')
#DISPLAY ('There are no prompts for this Template.')
#ENDBOXED
#AT (%ControlEventHandling, '?UseQueryStringButton', 'Accepted')
Que:Query = QueryString
Display()
#ENDAT
#!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#EXTENSION ('ReportQuery')
#BOXED (' Report Query Extension')
#DISPLAY ('There are no Prompts for this Template.')
#ENDBOXED
#AT (%WindowManagerMethodCodeSection, 'Open', '()'), PRIORITY(4000)
SELF.PROCESS.SetFilter(QueryString)
#ENDAT
#!--------------------------------------------------------------------
