Sir,
I am new to OOPs and I have been migrating from Clipper 87. I see you have 
created a editing/display box while browsing. Could you please show me your 
code to do this. I would appreciate your help.

Jayaram

Shure ... hm .. how to start ...
Question : if you are migrating you Cl*pper 87 Source ... did you know about 
Codeblock ?

Codeblock are interdruce in Cl*pper v5.x and a "must" to understand how 
Xbase++ Callback Slot work

Question : did you have begin to migrate ? Hybrid or "full" GUI ?

so if you use Hybrid you might use Tbrowse ? under "full" GUI you might use 
XbpBrowse.

to "setup" a Browse you have to build each Columne (TbColumne or XbpColumne)
for each Database Field (or Array) which you want to display.

both have a "Stable" Codeblock where you can sycronisize Browse (show only 
some data)
with a other "Window" to display "full" data of a Record.

now, which XbpBrowse, you have a Callback Slot :Itemselect where you can
put you Codeblock for your "Action" you want to do:

oBrowse:itemselect := {|| Do_my_Procedure(Parameter1,Parameter2 ...) }

now while i use MDI i can open multiple "Windows", so i run every "Window" 
as own Thread

thats in general, but it is a log Way from S87 ...

you might have a look at "TopDown" 3PP Lib to migrate your S87 Source.
also "Express++" may help you to migrate to Xbase++ if you like Cl*pper 
Command Style

Dear Jimmy ,
Thank you for your kind reply.
I am working on  a hybrid. I am slowly understanding OOPs.
My application is very huge and does lots of things, but is all in S87 
style. I have studied all the samples and help, but I do not have a correct 
understanding of the Xbase parts and it's usage. So I am trying to get some 
tips.
I have "TopDown" and "Express++" and am using them. But with limitations.
Thank you once again.

If you have time for me I could show my application on Teamviewer.
Regards
Jayaram

I also own both Express++ and Topdown.  Had to make a decision back in 
2002.  I use Topdown for some features but the majority of the work is 
in Express++.  Not to say anything bad about Topdown, but at that time I 
went for the Express++ approach but learn alot from Topdown also.

My application was a basic Summer87 but knew how to use codeblocks as it 
was in Clipper 5.2e for quite some time.  I don't see any limitations 
and a basic template can be established that is used over and over.
