Fantastic, it looks much more professional now with these text hints!!

Thanks Dmitriy!!

Actually there is no way to tell the checkbox which value to display!
I will send you the project, it is still in draft.

Oh! I can see the attachments option now!

I would like to see the translated data in the grid. I cannot add a picture in this forum as there is no "download picture" choice.

for example:

I want to return the following information in a grid with a default query using no filter nor script:

PC Name  |  Installation Date   |  Config Record created

L2006       |   24.01.2014          |    Yes
L2007       |   24.01.2015          |    No

What I get currently is:

PC Name  |  Installation Date   |  Config Record created

L2006       |   24.01.2014          |    1
L2007       |   24.01.2015          |    0

Aaaaaah!!! Well actually I misunderstood the use of this component.

I thought it was there to give the ability to count rows like a "select count(*) where...." but here it is just displaying an value in a row.

I wish I could do that actually, it would be helpful in my current project, I would like to have a counter which displays the number of rows containing a given information.

I would need some help with another use of the checkbox component:

I have a field with a default value= "NO"

If I check the checkbox, I would like this value to be updated to "YES", is that possible or should I use a dropdown list?

Everything works perfectly, thanks a lot Dmitry for your fast replies.

I just changed a detail, I use the OnShow event so the memo is automatically displayed and I tick the Read Only property before compiling so the users cannot edit my memo

This makes my life way easier to log / display the dev history.

Very good!

And what about a scroll bar?

Would it be possible to implement radio button beside checkbox.

I need to create radio buttons which would change a status of an item depending on which is chosen. I read a thread in the forum where it is possible by scripts, but well....how to say... It is tricky to guess the exact location of the radio button when there is no grid nor cursor position displayed and I am not going to waste my working time with trials and errors, my employer would not appreciate I am not even talking about maintaining the application in the future...

Morevover, how to add actions to this buttons?

For example, I need 3 buttons, depending on which one is chosen, the status of my item will change and it can be only one choice at a time.

* - Defect
* - In preparation
* - Ready

It might be working like a combobox but radio button are more eye catching.

Thanks Dmitry for the simple explaination, if I understand it well, this is a static table like a view actually? Would a dropdown list work without a dictionary table?

Is there any other case where a dictionary table would be needed or required in myvisualdatabase?

Thanks to you guys, both solution are pretty interesting.

I actually would need a mix of both solution: displaying a read only form which automatically loads a separate text file , so I would not need to edit any script afterward nor have to manage any button. Just editing a text file would suffice to update the information displayed.

I think I would use this in the script:

procedure Form1_OnShow (Sender: string; Action: string);
begin
     form1.memo1.lines.loadfromfile('test.txt');
end;

@mr_d We may ask ourself about the use of a read only checkbox since anyone can disable it
       I will keep your version for text editing though, thanks a lot

A more elegant way of doing it would be to save the text in a table and load this text into the memo, so the text would not be easily edited by end users.

I wonder if it is possible to format the text inside this multiline textbox?
