The following controls are the only controls allowed on a VEIP form.
ENTRY field
PROMPT field (not displayed)
TEXT control (allows double-byte characters to display)
DropList control (file-loaded template, or default control)
DropCombo control (file loaded template, or default control)
SPIN box
CHECK box
OK / CANCEL / HELP buttons
Lookup buttons - (field lookup, date lookup, dos file lookup)
All other controls on the form MUST be deleted especially any SHEET or TAB controls.
The number of fields on the form (not counting prompts or buttons) must match the number of columns in the list box.
There is one caution when using groups in a browse list box. Clarion allows you to setup list box groups with inconsistent widths, so you must manually check that the sum of the column widths matches the group width. e.g. if you have a group GROUP with columns COL1 COL2 and COL3
Here the sum of the widths (30+30+30) does not match the group width (70). You must either increase the GROUP width to 90, or decrease COL1+COL2+COL3 until it adds to 70 e.g (25+25+20).
