I am a new user on this forum, but I currently work at the local IT Support for my facility. I was wondering if anyone had a tutorial video or walk through for learning the ropes on VFE. Thank you in advance.

The VFE application has a basic tutorial under the Help drowdown menu within the application.

I was brand new to it last year and I found my biggest help was looking at forms already created, whether its from the VFE sample forms that come with VFE, forms people post on here, your practices existing forms, and taking the code within them and applying them in new situations. For example open a complex form in Centricity, click around, notice the triggers, the time when certain thinks are clicked the documentation. Then try to find what makes it work in VFE.

The classes they offer help also, but jump straight to the advanced one, you'll cover the beginner stuff doing the VFE tutorials.

I would like to ask a follow-up question to this thread. Is there a master document or help that gives a more detailed description on MEL against CPS tables? Example: how do I take a Custom Order List and present the text in a dynamic listbox? I have seen examples using getfield(). But is there a 'users' guide that describes the semantics of the MEL language? I guess I am asking if there is similar book to the " 'C' Programming Bible". Confused

Did you ever find anything that helped you?

No. I was hoping that the CHUG community would provide some insight on how they became experts at making forms. To date, I have done as previous poster stated, looking at existing forms and just trying to figure things out on my own. Very difficult and frustrating doing it this way.

I am trying to gather information and training. If I find anything useful I will post it back to the list.

This what I started out using. It doesn't have EVERYTHING, because there is ton of stuff that is just undocumented.

In CEMR I still find using the help useful there. Help > Help Topics then type in "MEL" and you'll get a laundry list of examples, but from there you can read up on a lot of different MEL and see examples.
