[Solved] DataForm Extension

Post by jnagle »

Trying to use Dataform extension in Calc. DataForm works fine but I need a scroll bar to see fields that are off screen or be able make multiple columns for off screen fields.

Thanks

It was updated in 2010.

This is a third party extension. Please ask the author.

Could there be other extensions that would do the same?

You have the source code so you can do a very simple tweak to get more fields on screen.

Go to the Basic macros Dataform module and play with these two lines near the top of the module

Code: Select all

Const TXT_HEIGHT = 12 ' altezza caselle di testo
Const CTRLS_MARGIN = 5 ' spaziatura tra i campi di controllo nel dialog
reduce the TXT_HIEGHT eg change the 12 to an 8 or whatever to reduce height of fields
change the CTRLS_MARGIN = 5 to CTRLS_MARGIN = 0 or whatever to reduce gap between fields
