Dateform
By Vincent Oorsprong
This contribution makes it possible to integrate a date-selector into the IDE.
In order to use this you must have downloaded vdfquery release 1.3b from the website of DataAccess Worldwide. See "Hot downloads"
on the initial page.
Note that your compiler must be able to find these vdfquery files. You can add a path to
the listbox for the compilers makepath that can be found under the configuration option in
the IDE, tabpage workspaces. For more installationtips see the Word document that is
included by the vdfquery package.
Installation notes for the order entry workspace:
- Copy the .dfc and .bmp files to the Order\IdeSrc folder.
- Copy the .pkg file to the Order\AppSrc folder
- Open the IDE in the order entry sample workspace
- Select 'Maintain Classlists' from the Tools menu (Make sure no program or component is
open at this time, otherwise you cannot select this from the menu)
- Click on the workspace tabpage and press the Add button, enter the necessary information
- Select Add and the new class is registered into the IDE. That's it, now you can use this
new class from within the IDE.
Known bugs:
- There seems to be a bug with this for the year 2000. If you select a date (any date) in
the year 2000 it doesn't return a date. This will not happen if the selected date is in a
year not equal to the year 2000 (year < 2000 and year > 2000 is ok)
We hope that this will be fixed very soon.
