  + hbqtwidgets/resources/table-add.png

  * hbqtwidgets/hbqtwidgets.qrc

    + Added one more image.

  + hbqtwidgets/dbucreate.prg

  * hbqtwidgets/hbqtwidgets.hbp

    + Added dbucreate.prg

  * hbqtwidgets/hbqtbrowse.prg

  * hbqtwidgets/hbqtdbu.prg

    + Implemented: <Create a Table> action which can be activated via 

       an icon on the HbDBU's top toolbar. A modeless, stay-on-top window 

       is displayed. Window is devided into two sections. Top one hosts an 

       array browser to fetch table structure. Lower one host another array

       browser to fetch index tags and expression.

       These are the actions available for editing, etc.

       K_F1        to view these instructions

       

       K_ENTER     to start editing

       K_CTRL_INS  to insert a blank row

       K_CTRL_DEL  to delete current row

       K_CTRL_UP   to move current row up

       K_CTRL_DOWN to move current row down

       K_CTRL_V    to paste copied structure ( from Structure pane at the right of HbDBU )

       K_CTRL_P    to print the structure info

       initiating editing will always position the cursor on "Name" field and then will 

       continue circulatory as Name->Type->Len->Dec->NextRow->... A new row will 

       automatically appened at the bottom if "Dec" field is reached and current 

       row is the last one. To leave the editing mode, just press ESC. If "Name"

       field will be blank, the row will be deleted, browser will be refreshed.

       "Len" and "Dec" fields are auto assigned for (L)ogical and (D)ate fields.

       If required you can paste entire structure of an opened table. Click on the 

       browser window whose structure is nneded to be pasted, click on <Structure>

       browser on the right-most pane, press CTRL+C, resturn back to <Create a Table>

       window, press CTRL+V, and see structure pasted here. The existing structure 

       will be replaced so be carefull.

       Window is modeless so it is possible to start creating tables in multiple

       windows simultaneously.

       I am familiar with only DBFCDX and ADS (CDX) file types only. Let me know if 

       anything is missing. 

       This implementation also demnstrate an example how a parent/child relational 

       form can be developed, like an invoice. This code has all the constructs 

       in-place to achieve that, so strech your imagination in this direction.

       The complete code is contained in dbucreate.prg only, study it.
