I was referring to dgNumberOfRecords
• get the dgNumberOfRecords
• set the dgNumberOfRecords of group "DataGrid" to 20
• 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.
