Hello,

A few days ago i asked how we can sort in a array with a secundary key (i.e. column 1 + column 2). Answer from nages : oCol:cSortOrder := { |oCol| <yourfunction> }

It works very good , but i try to have the same result when using a dbf with an index like PAD(UPPER(Trim(first) + trim(Last)),20) . Using the seek method we can enter the characters from first AND last to seek the record.

So i had to add some features to xbrowse to handle secundary keys in autoorder and seek.

EXTEND CLASS TXBrwColumn WITH DATA bOrder

After defining the browse :

oBrw:aCols[1]:bOrder := {|x|UPPER(TRIM(x[1])+TRIM(x[2]))}

There are a few changes in SortArrayData (aSort(oBrw:aArrayData,.....) and in SeekOnArray (nAt := ASCAN(aData , .....)

Here some code to test :


#include "FiveWin.ch"
#include "xbrowse.ch"
#include "InKey.ch"
# include "common.ch"

static oWnd

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

function Main()

SET _3DLOOK ON
REQUEST DBFCDX
rddsetdefault( "DBFCDX" )

USE CUSTOMER NEW
INDEX ON PAD(UPPER(TRIM(First))+UPPER(TRIM(Last)),20) TAG First //TO Cust
INDEX ON PAD(UPPER(TRIM(Last))+UPPER(TRIM(First)),20) TAG Last //TO Cust

DEFINE WINDOW oWnd FROM 2, 2 TO 20, 70 ;

ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd MAXIMIZED ;

return nil

Nice.

But would you mind if I post more simplified code? I think we can achieve all this without overriding the xbrowse. ( I assume you are using fwh10.8 or later preferably)

Now first browsing DBF:
We assume you already created the indexes as indicated in your sample: Here is the browse code only:

Thank you for the answer and the sugestions , i learned again something new. Browse a dbf on a index is not a problem , the problem is that i try to become the same results in a array seek . The dbf example is only in the sample to compare with the array seek.

I am using 8.10 , maybe i miss some possibilty's from xbrowse in the newer versions .

When i understand it well , xbrowse sorts a array standard on bOrder := {|x,y| x[ nAt ] < y[ nAt ] } (nAt cSortOrder) . Adding bOrder as a data to TXBrwColumn makes it possible to have for each column its own order , different from the standard (i.e. using UPPER) . It can match with the index expression from a dbf .

Only change in SortArrayData is the line ::oBrw:aArrayData := Asort( ::oBrw:aArrayData,,, {|x,y| x[ nAt ] < y[ nAt ] } ) , this would be
bOrder := {|x,y| EVAL(::bOrder,x) < EVAL(::bOrder,y) } ; ::oBrw:aArrayData := Asort( ::oBrw:aArrayData,,, bOrder )

I know this can be achieved as described a few days ago , but the sortorder must be folowed by SeekOnArray , which search only (with ascan) for an element from the column:

nAt := Ascan( aData, {|v| Upper( cValToChar( v[ nFor ] ) ) = cSeek } )

This line (in SeekOnArray) would change in :

nAt := Ascan( aData, {|v| EVAL( aCols[ nFor ]:bOrder , v ) = cSeek } )


When you have a better solution , without changing xbrowse , i would apreciate that very much.

P.S. Writing the thread i used "b..code../b" . I do not know why it not works. I tryed to give a working sample . Nothing is changed in the source from xbrowse.
