hello children

im trying to create a program where i enter in the time i started and the time i finished working and this is all recorded into a table with repective fields. i have a bunch of edit boxes and a grid all setup with the appropriate datasources and all that (aliases etc..) but i really want to know is how to just run the program then type the times in hit enter go to the next field and make them just fill in the table right.

also wat im trying to say is what is the fastest, efficient, convetional way of fillin in the grid, like u go to a cell, press enter then enter the data press enter again and u have to click the next cell, isnt there an easier way. or is there some sort of input box or thing u can use

and how can u make it so when u run the program its already in edit mode and there is a new blank record avaialable.

thank you soo much if u have bothered reading this. your help will be much appreacited, and if i become rich and powerfiull in the future u WILL be remebered.

Is it just me, or does everyone else want to kick this guy too?

was that even necessary. cant u just help me.

It was. You came here, called me a child, acted like you knew everything, and then asked me to help. There was so much arrogance in your first post I don't even know where to begin. Now, if you ask us nicely, say please, and don't call us "children" when we evidently have so much more experience than you in half-decent languages instead of Pascal-based pieces of crap, I might be inclined to start helping.

im really sorry, sincerley. i didnt think it wud come across as that.

Apology accepted.

Are you using a StringGrid to handle this?

gaara · Apr 30th, 2005, 8:16 AM

i dont even no wat that is.

is there some sort of code that allows the grid to be on a new row already. like so i dont have to press the add new row button.

thanks

Well, what control are you using to display the data?
