QSO edit dialog configured for entering most award values
QSO
edit dialog configured for pile-ups
(controls hidden or repositioned)
The Edit dialog is registered in the internal
broadcast system of the log and it automatically updates its
contents as you change active DB cursor, add or remove QSOs. Also if you change
a QSO the changes will be reflected in all windows registered with the broadcast
system. For instance, changing a call sign will make the
award manager
refresh award values (DXCC, IOTA etc), update look up tables and recalculate
award totals causing all dependent registered windows to update their contents.
