Hi,
I've been playing with the cursoradapter again and I find a couple of
things puzzling - well OK I find most things puzzling these days <g>, but
two specific things:-
where does it live?
I put a ca on a form by dragging a sql table from the task pane then tidied
it up and made it updateable (nice and easy *once* you find where the
builder lives!)
I then saved the form and opened it in the class browser: form code is
there, the de has the usual unnecessary dimension properties and
"Datasource=null"; the grid** is there with "Recordsource = Cursoradapter1"
but no ca.
OK if I hack into the .scx file it's there but the only thing linking it to
anywhere seems to be the name. I thought ca's were part of the de container
object?
** the grid is of course empty which makes it a very flexible tool (I still
don't like 'em mind) - but this means I can't change column properties e.g.
to put in combo boxes. What I tried was putting a button on the
(development) form with "thisform.GRDMy.SaveAsClass
('newgridclass','newgrid')" which does seem to give me a useful grid/browse
object (until I change the underlying table) - what do people think: is
this a useful technique or is there a better way?
p.s. do people use batchupdate with grids? - are there any wrinkles?
