Dragan,

>>Here's a quote from a recent thread:

loColumn.DynamicFontBold = "'IIF(THIS.PARENT.gnRecNo = RECNO(THIS.PARENT.RecordSource), .T., .F.)'"

Oh, jeez... I knew I shouldn't have used that example. This snippet is from a legacy class, that, while it does some truly amazing things, did benefit from some cleanup.


>>I wouldn't be starting on this if this was the only one, but I'm seeing the IIf({expL}, .T., .F.) just far too often, so I started wondering what made this become customary...
Is it just my pet peeve, or are there some recommendations about this?


Personally, I prefer the code be as clean as possible, with copious documentation. If I can make the code self-documenting (i.e. defines, etc.) so much the better. I had changed the code to:

loColumn.DynamicFontBold = "(THIS.PARENT.gnRecNo = RECNO(THIS.PARENT.RecordSource)"

but it still didn't work :-|

Anyway, I suspect I used the IIF() version of the code to make the example as clear as possible.
