dgNumberOfRecords

Type

property

Summary

For use with fetching data from a database cursor.

Syntax

set the dgNumberOfRecords of group "DataGrid" to 20

Description

Getting the dgNumberOfRecords is the same as getting the dgNumberOfLines. Setting the dgNumberOfRecords has a special significance however. If you set the dgNumberOfRecords then you are telling the data grid that you know how many total records there are and you are going to supply the data for each record on an as-needed basis. This is useful when you have data in a database cursor that you would like to feed into the data grid. After setting this property the data grid will send the GetDataForLine message to the data grid whenever it needs to display data for a particular line. You can define this command in the data grid script or elsewhere in the hierarchy. The definition is as follows: command GetDataForLine pLine, @pDataA -- end GetDataForLine You should fill pDataA with the appropriate data based on the line of data being requested. pDataA should not have a numeric index. It is the array that would be assigned to one of the numeric indexes if you were assigning the dgData property.
