Edit pattern template

It often happens in the design pattern that has been do errors in the data entered and you need to edit a pattern. Edit template can be made during design and after the entry and exit from the program.

Be subjected to editing:

•	simple and descriptive text make this possible for you to edit them normally - Backspace key, the Delete key from the keyboard or the Undo-Undo the change.and REDO button

•	ADIF field-type from pattern - which may be a type field in the pattern = Only fields or be included in the table cells for type fields in a pattern = Table with fields.

Editing fields ADIF in a pattern

This type of field can not be edited by use Backspace or Delete key or the Undo key - as a field that involves have the appropriate structure pattern template. To edit such a field you must first delete the fields , and in its place insert the new field of ADIF. Describe this treatment for two cases:

Suppose that we have a pattern template in the form

The final form of the pattern template
with one type of fields in the pattern = Table with fields

We want in this pattern delete field Freq MHz and replace it with a field Band.

Removing a field Freq from the pattern with
the type of field in the pattern = Table witch field

Now set the cursor on the empty box in which you want to insert a new field

Now insert a new field as below

Pattern template after insert a new field Band = 160 M

If we wanted to put a new field to existing field will get a message

A similar message appears if you have the highlights on the ADIF field - ie, you chose this field by pressing button Next field -> eg you have selected the field QSL_Via

and press the Undo button - you receive the following message

If there is no backlight field

and in previous do moving border - it will execute the Undo operation in this case the border will came back to the previous position

Operation Undo and Redo operation , can also perform for the data to be entered manually from the keyboard

In addition to the above method of editing the pattern in this type of fields in the pattern - Table with fields , we have available for the following functions still others reached when you press the right mouse button on the pattern or double-click :

•	Inserts a row above the current cursor position

•	Inserts a row below the current cursor position

•	Deleting a row in which the cursor

•	Inserts columns to the left of the current cursor position

•	Inserts columns to the right of the current cursor position

•	Removing columns in the cursor is

•	Mege selected cells - only horizontal

•	UnMerge cells

•	Aligments of the cells in the rights and down from the current cursor position

We caution, however, these features - especially the function Insert column or row. Recommend that before making these operations to save the pattern and then carrying out these operations. Then you can always return to the previous pattern

Only a Merge selected cells into one cell can be made without a previous record

In the case of try to delete the row (or column) in which is although one cell with data you will get the message

Other illegal operations that may cause the appearance of messages are:

•	merge cells vertically is not allowed. In the case of such a test will get a message

•

merge cells in the periphery area of the belt is not allowed. The cell periphery can not be merged with each other and can not will be merging with any other cell. Belt edge must be "clear" that the program knows the number of cells horizontally and vertically. For example, we want to merge cells in which although one is in the area of the belt edge

Attempt to merge with the cell periphery and
message an inability to perform an operation

•	may not occur • No merge cells already merged with another merged cell in at another level

Attempt to merge with the merged cells on
the other the level and inability to comply
such operation

Editing fields in a type field in a pattern = Only field is the same with the exception that the field is removed. The remaining location field is changed, ie move to the left by removal of the signs occupied by the removed field

Before removing the pattern might look like --

After removal of the field by button Delete ADIF Field .

To put the new field we need to place the cursor between the two fields - never at the end or the beginning of a field-but for this purpose, we can only use the TAB key, Backspace, Delete, or place the cursor at an empty place and click a mouse . . Never can use the spacebar on the keyboard..

Messages if we try to put a new field in place of the current are the same as above. Also for button Undo. The measure of the correctness of the implementation of the operation is to jumping highlights, if you use buttons <- Previous field Next field -> .

Here you can include other edition pattern as

•	Changing the size of template pattern for table and no table pattern . In the case of the table array program changes a bit field - willhave to be move . Especially valuable when mistakes were made in sizing QSL

•	Changing the background graphics - Scan bitmap to another - and create a new structure with a similar - but with a revised position of some fields, eg for our activities in another QTH
