OK, OK, OK!

As always - you are right!

nFileCRC( ) OBVIOUSLY reads the entire file because with 50000 records the system becomes unuseable i.e. every time the timer ticks the system stalls for a time and then comes back to life!!!!!!

Back to the drawing board

Hello James, To be honest - YOURS was the comment that I was waiting for - the whole day - in anticipation! I know that you have told me this before but there is a practical reason for me using MDI. As you know - it is (finally) a rewrite of our old Fleet Management System and the idea is that there...

Hello, as you can see I have been working hard today! I actually couldn't tell you if it reads the entire file or not BUT if you are right then I am heading for a disaster as I am only using test data for now which never amounts to more than a couple of records in a file. I will do a REAL test and c...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I knew it was here somewhere!

Hello Dutch, There is a function called nFileCRC( ) that returns the Checksum of a file. The Checksum of a file seems to change whenever any change is made to the file including just the simple flagging of a record for deletion. e.g. nFileCheckSum := nFileCRC( 'FILENAME.DBF' ) If you add, edit, dele...

Hello, There used to be a function (or at least I thought there used to be a function) that would display a bitmap for a certain number of seconds. I thought it was called MsgBmp( ) but I cannot find that anywhere? Anyone know to which function I am referring? It could be used to display a 'splash s...

I can't thank you enough!!!

Dale.

Sorry, I did not see that.

But you have no idea how grateful I am!!!

Now what about being able to make the lines and headings higher / wider AND GETTING IT INCORPORATED INTO THE NEXT RELEASE OF FWH?

And let us not forget about the WIN32 HEADERS!!!

Thanks,

Dale.

Are you aware that this also happens when you do the same at the top of the browse i.e. go to the top and do the same thing with the arrow key (or click on the scroll bar up arrow) and the same thing happens?

Thanks Alex, I also remember from some time ago that there was a simple way of connecting to the Internet with the ShellExecute( ) function or something like that. What are those functions? I did have this working in a very old test that I did but do not have that code anymore. Basically I am trying...

I am writing this message because I just know that I am going to run into a problem later on (soon) down the line with my app. I need things to work in this order: Main Window (MDI) | Child Window (MDIChild) with TWBrowse (displays current records) | Select TWBrowse Record by Double Clicking (or som...

Thanks a lot. I have changed from 100 to 1000 and still works instantaneously. I am so happy with this. I have tested with 6 open browes so far - about another 10 to go (all MDI child windows) and they all update immediately as I make changes on another workstation. If that's not enough this works p...

OK - I think I am getting very clever. I have defined a timer with an interval of 100 that checks the CRC of the datafile and only if the CRC has changed will it refresh the listbox browse. This works as any changes made on workstation 1 immediately update on the display of workstation 2. My concern...

How can you call, for example, the Windows Date and Time dialog, and is there a list of all of the possible things that can be called by us from withing FWH?

How do I solve the following problem: In a network environment: Let us say that I have a workstation (workstation 1) that has a list of records being displayed at a given time and a user at another workstation (workstation 2) adds a new record to the same database. At the moment the only time that t...
