Tutorial Chapter 7: Array Display

The example in this chapter displays multiple customer records at once. The disparray program defines a program array to hold the records, and displays the records in a form containing a table and a screen array. The example program is then modified to dynamically fill the array as needed. This program illustrates a library function - the example is written so it can be used in multiple programs, maximizing code reuse.

In the illustration, the table is sorted by City. A right mouse click has displayed a dropdown list of the columns, with checkboxes allowing the user to hide or show a specific column. After the user validates the row selected, the store number and store name are returned to the calling function.
