Finding Keyword Help

[Anthony Billingsley]

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
