Learning to use FF have a question about reading/seting text from/to a textbox. In DDT I would use this code
CONTROL GET TEXT hDlg, %id_Company TO Temp.Company
But in FF it looks like this
Temp.Company = FF_CONTROL_GETTEXT( HWND_FRMMAIN_TXTCOMPANY )
I understand how the code works my real question is where should I look to learn keywords like FF_CONTROL_GETTEXT in FF. I have looked through the help files, but no luck. Is there a reference manual I don’t know of. Thanks for help in advance.
Have a look at the Functions Library.
As Martin said...
If you take a look at the Functions Library you will notice that to each FF function you will notice that on the right you have three tabs - Description, Code, and Details. Description contains the help text. I think Paul could not choose a better place for the help text. It's there right when you need it. That's so much more comfortable the opening an additional help file.
When I started with FireFly some time ago I had asked a similar question here in the forum, and I remember that Marc van Cauwenberghe answered that F8 (the Functions Library) and F4 (Handles and IDs) would become my biggest friends. I never forgot those words because he was so right.

Thank you Martin & Rolf.
When I was exploring through the menus looking to familiarize myself with where items were and what was available I remember looking through the Function Library, but forgot about it. I would agree that F4 (which I have been using) and F8 are going to be my new best friends.
Thanks again for the help
