Calculation for # of Find Requests

[bonngo]

I was wondering if anyone knew how to show how many "find requests" and which one is being viewed similar to the get(recordnumber) and get(foundcount) functions. The goal is to hide the status bar.

I don't recall this being in vs. 7 and I can't test it right now but ...

In vs. 8.5, you can count the number of requests with Get ( RequestCount ). And Get ( RecordNumber ) would STILL produce the request number you were on.

And you can go to a specific find request with Go To Record/Request/Page [ whatever ]

As comment point out in a recent thread, calculated fields won't work in Find mode, so you'll need to script the placement of those numbers into a global.

Yes of course ... I assumed that, since it was handled in find mode, that it would be developer scripted because there would be no reason the User would need that info. It was obvious (to me) that it was to continue a developer script (and not necessarily to put it into a global) but thank you for making it clear for everyone. :wink2:

With the exception of request number, which you can see if you type @@ on the layout.

The OP is apparently recreating the status area so I assumed he wants this info displayed to the user. But I could be wrong, it's been known to happen. :

Excellent point, David! I had forgotten that (important) aspect. :oops:
