[vwnc] menu in dataset

Hello,

Computer: PC with Windows XP
VisualWorks: 7.6

I want to use a menu in a dataset. But the Pianter-tool give me only the chance to choose "input field", "read only", "combo box", "check box", "abritary view" or "tree view" as the type of the column of the dataset.
There is no "menu"-type to choice.

A combobox is little similar to a menu but i have the problem with the combo-box that the combo-box don't have a label and a value.
The combobox has only a list of labels. Therefore i can't use a different label (e.g. yes or no) and a different value(e.g. true or false).
Another problem of the combobox is that i can't insert a read-only combobox in the dataset.

My question is: Is there a chance to insert a menu in the dataset or is it possible to change the bahavour of a combox to act similar like a menu?

Did you make any experience with this?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Peter Dziedzic

Re: [vwnc] menu in dataset

Use a combobox and set it to readonly, next set the type to object

and define the object read and print methods. I don’t have an example

at hand for you.

It is very much possible to introduce a menu in a dataset ( or was it a table..!) I have done this way back about 3 yrs back.. and can try and locate the code that hacks into the hierarchy of classes for the dataset.

It is not exposed as such from outside.. but you most certainly can do it if you dig deeper.

There is an example of Listing Arbitrary Objects in the GuiDevGuide on Combo boxes which works pritty well on datasets.

@+Maarten,

Use a combobox and set it to readonly, next set the type to object

and define the object read and print methods. I dont have an example

at hand for you.
