1) If you use the Find command (under Edit menu) then you can jump to items
in a Browse
2) I've heard varying reports from Dec/92 - Jan/93 to mid-year/93 from
Microsoft in Australia, regarding the FoxPro/Mac release.
IN THE MEANTIME
I'm working on a few improvements to FoxBase+/mac (currently in beta) that
give you
BROWSE DOUBLE-CLICK
traps double-click, Enter, Tab & Return keys (you control which of these
are trapped) and creates a command-key of your choice (eg: command-O to
Open a single record).
FAST DIALOG
Loads an array (maintained separately to Fox memory space) and shows a true
Mac dialog allowing up&down arrows, first few letters jump to item etc.
(multiple-selections are under development).
VERY FAST as it is doing it's own load loop (you specify the command, eg:
either SKIP or CONTINUE) and the array is shown using the internal Dialog
manager, so avoids the slow Fox stuff.
These will both be released as shareware VERY SOON - we are just testing on
different machines to ensure minimum hassles.
