New field on list form

JedrzejT · 2005-08-25

Hello

I have 2 flowfields type (EXISTS) - boolean
FldExist1,FldExist2

On form I want to show only one field
I add textbox to tablebox and set SourceExpr = NewField (Variable)

IF FldExist1 Or FldExists2 Then
NewField:=TRUE
ELSE
NewField:=FALSE

Whats the best option for it ?

Form is list type form, FldExist1,FldExist2 is not visible.

Thanks

Tempoary, I put this code in OnAfterGetRecord but this is the worst soluton I think . Variable Trans = form.sourcetable ](*,)

Trans.GET("No.");
Trans.CALCFIELDS("Sem In departure","Tractor In departure");

IF (Trans."Sem In departure"=TRUE) OR (Trans."Tractor In departure"=TRUE) THEN
InDeparture:=TRUE
ELSE
InDeparture:=FALSE;

CurrForm.UPDATECONTROLS;

Create a function called "NewField" in the table, with a boolean return value. Inside the function, you program your thing, and RETURN the boolean value.

Then, on your list form, you just add a textbox to the listbox, and in its SourceExpr, you enter MyTable.NewField.

Thanks

That is more elegant code.

You can do this without code

Just put in the SourceExpr

(FldExist1) Or (FldExists2)

You can always put one line of code in the SourceExpr.

This works.

Right, which is the same without having it available on another form. For consistency and maintenance reasons I prefer to put it in the table. If you have more than one list form for that table, they would both be updated when you change the code in the table.
