Accessories, Options with Tools

In the process of creating a form, you can move, delete objects, or change their sizes and properties.
102 Chapter 5
Introduction to Tools
To control an object, you first need to select it. To select one object, just click on it. To select multiple objects, do one
of the following:
❒ press the <Shift> key and, while holding it down, click we-
I sew alternately on all allocated objects;
❒ select the Select Objects button on the toolbar

Comrade Form Controls. Set the pointer to the form. Without releasing the mouse button, draw a selection frame
so that all the necessary objects are inside it.
3 NOTE
The second method is applicable if all selected objects are placed in the form of a compact group.
To select all the objects in the form, you can use the Select All command of the Edit menu or the key combination
<Ctrl> + <A>. After the objects are selected, you can manage them as a whole.
Removal of accessories
To deselect all objects of the form, click outside the selected objects. To deselect individual objects, follow these
steps:
1. Press and hold the <Shift> key.
2. Click one by one on the objects from which you want to deselect.
Replacing Features in a Form

Visual FoxPro allows you to move one or more form objects at the same time both with the mouse and with the arrow
keys. The use of arrow keys is used when precise positioning is required, since a single keystroke causes the object
to move one pixel.
If you want to move objects over a long distance, you can combine both of these methods: first move the objects with
the mouse, and then use the arrow keys to set their exact location.
Removing Features from the Tools

To remove selected objects from a form, do one of the following:
❒ in the Edit menu, select the Cut command;
❒ press the <Backspace> key;
❒ press the <Del> key.

Changing the Dimensions and Accessories

To change the size of one object selected in the form, you can use control handles, which are black squares on the
corners and sides. If you want to set the exact dimensions of the object, it is better to use the properties
Height and Width determining its height and width, respectively. To do this, open the Properties window and use the
keyboard to enter the required values in the property fields.
To improve the appearance, the objects placed in the form are aligned relative to each other and the mesh of the
form. For alignment, you can use the menu command Format (Format), as well as the Layout toolbar, which contains
the buttons that are most often used when aligning objects and changing their sizes.
In the table. 5.6 shows all the alignment commands of objects of the Format menu, and in table. 5.7 - commands for
changing their sizes.

Changing the number of options when using the

information in the field
When entering information into the form fields, the transition from one field to another is performed using the <Tab>
key in accordance with the order of objects specified in the form. It may differ from the actual location of the objects.
Each new object added to the form is assigned a number that is not associated with its actual location in the form and
determines only the order in which the object is placed in the form. It is one more than the maximum number of form
objects.
Visual FoxPro supports two modes of setting the traversal order of objects - interactive and from the list. The choice of
which mode is used is carried out using the commands of the Tab Order submenu of the View menu.
Online Processing
To view the serial numbers of objects, select the Tab Order command in the View menu, and then in the opened
submenu the Assign Interactively command. As a result, the form will have the form shown in Fig. 5.14. A square
appears in the upper left corner of all the objects of the form indicating its bypass number.
To specify a new order of traversal of objects in the form, follow these steps:
1. Click on the objects in the form in the order in which they should be selected when you press the <Tab> key.
2. After completing the determination of the order of traversal of objects, click anywhere in the form.

USING YOUR FILES

For placement in the form of fields that can have only one of two valid values, objects of the type are used Checkbox call
checkboxes. Objects of this type can be used in form one at a time or in groups.
Consider the following example. The table with the list of customers may contain a field indicating whether this
customer is a regular customer. When the flag is set, the value in the field will correspond to 1, and when the flag is
reset, it will correspond to 0 (Table 6.12).

List
Visual FoxPro allows you to use different objects to display the same field in the form. For example, in the previous
example, a switch was used to enter information in the field indicating the country of residence. If there are many
values entered in the field, it is convenient to use lists called type objects ListBox ( List).
Lists in Visual FoxPro are used to display items in the form that can be specified using an array, menu, list of files,
table field values, etc. To specify the data source for the list, use the property

Creating and receiving feedback
In the previous two chapters, you saw Visual FoxPro tools for creating forms. No less powerful tools are available to
the developer to create reports.
After reading this chapter, you will learn what a report is and get acquainted with the tools for creating and printing
reports in Visual FoxPro.
Quick Start
A report is a formatted representation of data displayed on a screen, printer, or file. The report created in Visual
FoxPro can be presented in tabular form or in free form.
A table report is a printed table in which a row is a record, and each of the elements in a row contains a field in the
source table or a calculated field. The data in the table is ordered. Tabular reports are used to print data presented in
a list.
When preparing letters and mailing labels, the fields of the tables used in the report should be located in specially
designated places. In this case, the tabular report is not suitable, and free-form reports are used. When creating such
a report, you can use the standard format automatically created by Visual FoxPro for each table in which the fields of
the source table are arranged vertically. Using the report designer, you can develop your own report formats, where
the fields of the source table will be located where you need.
Recommendations for creating a report

If you need to create a simple table report that uses fields from one table, then you will most likely not have
difficulties. Before you start creating a more complex report, you should have a clear idea of what you want to get as
a result. Therefore, consider the questions below.
❒ What is the purpose of this report?
❒ What type of report do you create (tabular, free-form or stickers)?

158 Chapter 7
❒ From which tables should the information be presented in the report?
❒ Which of the tables used in the report will be the main, and which will be subordinate?
❒ By what parameters will the information in the report be ordered?
❒ Will data grouping be used when creating the report and by what
parameters?
Having received clear answers to the questions posed, you will facilitate your work when creating a report.
When creating the first reports, before you start working with the report designer, draw a report format on paper. This
will save you from mistakes and reduce the time spent on the development of the report.
When creating complex reports using data from several tables with a one-to-many relationship, it is advisable to go in
sequential steps from simple to complex. First, add the main table to the environment and place its fields in the
report. After that, view the report in the preview window and make sure that it is formed correctly. Then add a second
table to the environment, associate it with the main one, set the type of relationship used between the tables, and
place its fields in the report. And again, make sure that the report prints the data that you want to receive. With this
approach to creating a report, it will be much easier for you to understand the errors that appear or to avoid them
altogether.
Designing a report
In Visual FoxPro, you can use the following tools to create reports.
❒ Report Wizard. Allows you to quickly create a report,

changing the sorting, grouping of data and the style you set. To create a ready-made report using the wizard, it is
enough to answer a number of questions from the Report Fox Wizard.
❒ Report Designer. In the report designer, you can

Run your own reports or modify reports that were created using the wizard.
❒ Quick Report. This product is intended for placement

in the designer of the report of fields and the task of the environment. The developer is offered two options for
placing fields.
When creating a report, you can use any tools offered by Visual FoxPro that you find more convenient. Of course,
more features are provided by the report designer, which allows you to create reports both in tabular form and in free
form. The next chapter will be devoted to developing reports using designer tools.

Connecting bandwidth to projective range

The entire workspace of the report designer is, by default, divided into three strips limited by dividing lines (see Fig.
8.1). The name of the strip is displayed on the dividing line immediately below the strip. When data grouping is used in
a report, adding a cover page and summary data to it, additional bands appear. Each bar can contain report controls,
such as text, tabular and calculated fields, lines, rectangles, and drawings.
The types of bands possible in the report are given in table. 8.2. The main purpose of the strip is to determine when
and where objects placed in the strip will be printed.

For a report created by a wizard or using a command Quick Report ( Quick report), the environment of the report
environment is already defined. The developer creating the report using the report designer needs to create the
environment by completing the following steps:
❒ place in the environment the tables used in the report;
❒ set the necessary indexes for tables;
❒ establish relationships between tables.

180 Chapter 8
All information related to the environment is stored in the report description file.
To create a report environment, use the window Data environment

(Environment) (Fig. 8.7), to open which you can use one of the following methods:
❒ on the menu View ( View) select command Data Environment ( Environment);
❒ select item Data Environment ( Environment) context menu.
In the environment you need to place all the tables used in the report. To add a table to the environment, use the
command Add context menu or command Add ( Add) from the menu DataEnvironment ( Environment). Linked
database tables are migrated to Data Environment ( Environment) while maintaining the relationships established
between them.
As with forms, you can use the cursor adapter to create reports. For this, two commands are located in the context
menu. Add CursorAdapter ( Add cursor adapter) adds a cursor adapter to the report environment. Team
Builder ( Builder) launches a builder that configures the cursor adapter.
Ðèñ. 8.7. Long Distance Data Environment
After placing the tables in the environment of the report, you need to organize the data in the tables. To do this,

tables, you need to make sure that the relationships are established as required to create the correct report. To do
this, follow these steps:
1. Select the line joining the tables. In this case, in the properties window Properties
(Properties) the properties characterizing the relationship established between the tables will be displayed.
2. Check which of the tables is parent and which one is relative

niyu to her. To do this, view the properties ChildAlias ( Child table) and
ParentAlias ( Parent table).
3. See the expression by which the tables are related. To do this, use
property RelationalExpr ( Expression of relationship).
