Re: Subfiles and mouse

It is easy to show a SFLSNGCHC (or SFLMLTCHC) check box or radio button, but only one per record. You can also have the same effect but not show the button/box with the *NOSLTIND key word. Where you will have a problem is that you can not have several choices on a single row. Just one choice.

Another way to do this might be to have an input/output field "ECD"*with DSPATR(PR) so it can't be edited, and then check to see what field &column the cursor is in. That way a mouse click could do what you ask.

* ("ECD" = Edit/Copy/Delete)

Here are a couple of screen shots of subfile radio buttons and check boxes: http://www.martinvt.com/Subfiles/Two_Subfiles/two_subfiles.html

Does anyone know if I can create a subfile record that has a pushbutton or a choice field in it? I know I can have a subfile list with the familiar "Opt" column where a user can enter the various options a program could allow for each record in the subfile. For example, 2 for Edit, 5 for Display, etc. The option would be performed on each row.

What I want to do is to have one or two pushbutton fields on each row, and as my program reads through the subfile, it could read the pushbuttons fields, check if they are "clicked" and perform the requested function. Instead of using the "5=Display", I'd use the pushbuttons instead.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
