Scripting and window question.
|
First and foremost, anyone wanna tell me how to -permanently close a child window?
Secondly, I need help figuring out how to use a database variable in a trigger.
It's a date time type thing and I am trying to figure out how to make a trigger that will use the database variable (filled with each month name and corresponding number value) to set another variable to the number value of the month based on the month's name. |

Close the child window by making it the active window, and pressing alt-F4. Then save layout.
For your database variable, you'd do something like this:
Create initial database variable:
#ADDKEY MonthNumber {January=1|February=2|March=3|April=4|May=5|June=6|July=7|August=8|September=9|October=10|November=11|December=12}
Retrieving the number of a month from the variable:
#fun GetMonthNum {%db(@MonthNumber,%1)}
Usage: @GetMonthNum(MonthName) |

Some other ways to close a child window.
1. Make the child window the active window and select Close Window from the File menu.
2. Use the #CLOSE command
#CLOSE Child
3. Use the #MAKEWINDOW command
#MAKEWINDOW Child close |
