<p class="MsoNormal">Some of you may have done this already by I have a suggestion which make coding easier.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a directory (folder) I call sub. I keep small program routines (processing table) here and import them when I need to use the code. One example is on I call tabs, I use this one to control which field a left tab, arrow, up arrow,
etc moves the cursor to. This is especially true when this is a “must fill” field handled in programming at @wlfxx.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have an @once routine which I need to use in all programs for one client which checks if the user has permission to run this type of program. It consists of 10 line of code I don’t constantly have to rewrite and I can easily load it from
any filePro file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those old time filePro programmers, I have a copy of the “zoom” routine which predates the browse llookup.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also have a routine I used when computers were very slow. It creates a “thermometer” type display so the user could see that records were being processed. The 2 places I used this were for outputs so the user had an idea of where the
program was and about how long the output would take. The other place was with a browse lookup which used a drop. This routine lept the user from thinking the program got “hung up”. With today’s computers this routine is almost unnecessary. I could add
this programming to that output which process a few million records. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do have a routine similar to the one Ken showed a long time ago, which allows for the resizing of a memo window once it is open in I-U mode on a record.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One other handy program I wrote is one I call “viewer”. This is a filePro program which allows me to view a processing table (ASCII) when you have exceeded your development license value. I had this problem on my laptop when I had only
a single user development license. This is written for windows and uses Notepad to display the processing table. If you are accustomed programming with a text editor, the processing table can be edited. This is especially handy if you need a global search
and replace routine which is missing from the filePro editor.<o:p></o:p></p>
