Dynamic browse

[jmac13]

Hi All,

I'm using 10.2b

I've got a Dynamic browse where I add-columns on the fly at the start of a program. My question is how do I enable all these columns so I can edit them.

As with a normal browse i would just put enable <field name> in the display trigger of the browse.

Cheers

You need a handle to the columns that you want to enable and enable them that way.

yeah I loop through the columns

   assign hanCol = browse {&browse-name}:first-column.         
     
    do while valid-handle(hanCol):                     
         hanCol              = hanCol:next-column.                     
    end.

but doing hanCol:enable doesnt seem to work.

Hi Jmac13, try it.

    do while valid-handle(hanCol):                     
        hanCol:READ-ONLY  = false.
        hanCol                  = hanCol:NEXT-COLUMN.
    end.

Regards.

Hi SergioC,

thanks for the reply.

I've tried that but it doesnt seem to enable the fields so i can get in and edit them.

hanCol:READ-ONLY is the attribute you want to set to enable the browse column. If it's not working then I'd suggest you're not setting it at the right point. You need to enable the columns after the browse is fully realised AFAIK.
