The detail band

The detail band displays the retrieved data. The number of rows of data that display in the DataWindow object at one time is determined by the following expression:

(Height of the DataWindow object – Height of headers and footers) / 
Height of the detail band

The presentation style determines the contents of the detail band:

NoteHow PocketBuilder names the columns in the Design view If the DataWindow object uses one table, the names of the columns in the Design view are the same as the names in the table.

If the DataWindow object uses more than one table, the names of the columns in the Design view are tablename_columnname. PocketBuilder prefaces the name of the column with the table name to prevent ambiguity, since different tables can have columns with the same name.

When you design the detail band of a DataWindow object, you can specify display information for each column of the DataWindow object and add other controls, such as text, pictures, and drawing controls.
