Hi All Friends,
I joined this forum 7th March, 2009. It's more than one year I am with this forum. During this year I learned many things. And still I am learning. Very recently I also changed my coding style (which was more complex and influenced by MS coding style) with more simple but effective codes.
I am enjoying this journey with all of you
With best regards.

Hi Sudip
For me too, learning is most important process of the life and our forum is the greatest school for me
In other hand, I'm here primarily not only for learning, also for hang together with friends primary Roberto and Rathi and like you of course.
Best Regards

Yes brother Esgici,
About 1 year back when I joined this forum hearing from friend CCH, I found you, Rathi, Marek. At that time Roberto was busy. During the year we found many friends from different countries of the world
Regarding my recent changed coding style, previously I wrote @ .... syntax and now I started writing DEFINE ... END.. type of code. Moreover I also found some excellent tips from Rathi's code - especially using SQL.
With best regards.

Hi Sudip,
I am really happy to see this thread. Your contributions (also the expectations you have expressed) have really sharpened HMG a lot.
Apart from HMG, yes, you are a lot to me!

Hello Rathi, Marek, Vanguarda, Swapan, Esgici,
Thanks a lot for your kind words
Previously I thought using SQL cannot be as fast as using DBFCDX. But, recently after changing coding style (learning from Rathi's code), I found using SQL is as fast (if not better
) using DBFCDX.
Too much GUI makes a program slow.
For writing programs, previously I thought control names like "txtInvdt" is better to show this is a textbox, or "cboCustid" is better for a combo box. But, writing codes using "invdt" as textbox and "custid" as combobox for 2 days, I found there is not very much problem to understand the logic. Code became smaller and typing time also got reduced
I also found when we want to run some code at the starting of a window, it's better to put the code beteen END WINDOW and .... ACTIVATE WINDOW commands, than using ON INIT method.
When using SQL, it's always better to run the SQL commands at a time, than call different SQL commands separately.
Here I only expressed some of my findings. I may be wrong, as I am learning this software tool. So, please correct me, if you find any BUG in my views.
With best regards.

Thanks Sudip.
I too prefer to enter the initial values of controls between "end window" and "activate window". On change procedure is getting triggered when a value is initialized and if in that "on change" procedure if you refer a control which is defined after the control which is initialized, then it gives a run time error. This can be illustrated as below:
Example 1: (gives runtime error)
Code: Select all
# include "hmg.ch"
function main
define window sample at 0,0 width 400 height 300 main
define textbox t1
row 10
col 10
width 100
value "Giri"
on change t1changed()
end textbox
define textbox t2
row 10
col 120
width 100
end textbox
end window
sample.center
sample.activate
return nil
function t1changed
sample.t2.value := sample.t1.value
return nil
Example 2: (doesn't give runtime error)
Code: Select all
# include "hmg.ch"
function main
define window sample at 0,0 width 400 height 300 main
define textbox t1
row 10
col 10
width 100
on change t1changed()
end textbox
define textbox t2
row 10
col 120
width 100
end textbox
end window
sample.t1.value := "Giri"
sample.center
sample.activate
return nil
function t1changed
sample.t2.value := sample.t1.value
return nil
