Hi there, does anyone know how I can place a textfield on top of a column header (label) in a table box, so that it will appear in front instead of the column header. Thanx Erik
I assume you are talking about modifying a Form which has a TableBox object in it. I believe you can just create a text box and plop it over the table box’s header row. There are several things to watch out for: 1. Make sure the table box is in the form you are modifying, not a subform. (This can be tricky if you are just looking at the form instead of editing it in the form designer.) 2. Give the new text box, and any other objects you create, ID No.s OUTSIDE the usual range for the form. The form designer defaults to the lowest unused integer, so in most cases, the default number will be the total number of objects on the form. But you can change the ID No., and you should change it to avoid problems when you port the form to a new version of Navision. 3. Make the text box noneditable, unless of course you want to let the user edit it and most important of all: 4. Set the vertical and horizontal glue properties to match those of the table box. ------- Tim Horrigan horrigan@aol.com
Hi Tim, it seems to be not that easy, because I created the textfield and placed it over the tablebox’s header row. But this doen’t worked out, the table box will always be in front and the textfield is behind the tablebox, so I can’t see it ?!?! If you have any suggestion, it will be greatly appreciated otherwise thanks for your help. Erik
Select the textbox, then locate Format in the menubar. Select “Bring to front” to get the textbox on top of the tablebox. John
yeah, that’s working, but just on the left and right (rollbar) side of the tablebox, not on top of the header row (labels). So I assume it won’t be working thanks anyway Erik
