Hello Martin,
thanks for your comment. In fact I originally wanted to
use this control also to save the contents of tables to disk,
for example in a text document, indepentant from an application
that knows about the number of tables or the tables contents,
but I did not complete this task.
Can you tell me a little bit more about a variable number of tables
in an application? What is the purpose of it and how would you like to
switch from one table to annother? (example)
By the way, I am working on some improvements now, which have not been
very important for me so far. Since I decided to pass the code
to public, I think this should be made now. I hope to complete the most
urgent work until saturday.
Planned improvements: Use Excel - OleDate Type for date and time
Improve conversion to excel, which is very poorly implemented
English forms for handling
If you have other needs also (e.g. improvements for english keyboard or number
representation), let me know them.
When I'm through with this, I would like to give the control to Helmut Zinn's CPC.

I have been looking at your Table Control. You have one procedure commented out, viz:
PROCEDURE NextTable * (OUT n: INTEGER; OUT link: ARRAY OF CHAR);
VAR i: INTEGER; nTables: POINTER TO ARRAY OF Table; str: Dialog.String;
BEGIN
IF tables = NIL THEN
NEW(nTables, 1); n := 0
ELSE
n := LEN(tables); NEW(nTables, n + 1);
FOR i := 0 TO n - 1 DO nTables[i] := tables[i] END
END;
tables := nTables; NEW(tables[n]);
link := "CtrlsTable.tables["; Strings.IntToString(n, str); link := link$ + str; link := link + "]"
END NextTable;
I can see what you are trying to do here - because otherwise a table control always has to be linked to a single variable (i.e. VAR
t1*: CT.Tab; and the link in the control properties has to be "CtrlsTable.t1") - but the link field of control properties doesn't appear to recognize links of the form "CtrlsTable.tables[0]".
So, how could one use a variable number of tables in an application? If anybody has a solution to this, could they offer some advice on the list?
Many thanks, Martin
