Chapter 9: Methods for the DataWindow Control

ScrollPriorRow

To scroll

Use

To the prior row in a DataWindow, making the row current (when the DataWindow does not have the RichTextEdit presentation style)

Syntax 1 For DataWindow controls and child DataWindows

To the prior instance of a document associated with a row in a RichTextEdit control or RichTextEdit DataWindow

Syntax 2 For RichTextEdit DataWindows


Syntax 1 For DataWindow controls and child DataWindows

Description

Scrolls a DataWindow control backward one row. ScrollPriorRow changes the current row but not the current column.

Syntax

long dwcontrol.ScrollPriorRow ( )

Argument

Description

dwcontrol

A reference to a DataWindow or child DataWindow

Returns

Returns the number of the row displayed at the top of the DataWindow control when the scroll finishes or tries to scroll past the first row. ScrollPriorRow returns -1 if an error occurs. If dwcontrol is NULL, the method returns NULL.

Usage

After you call ScrollPriorRow, the row before the current row becomes the new current row. If that row is already visible, the displayed rows do not change. If it is not visible, the displayed rows move down to display the row.

ScrollPriorRow does not highlight the row. Use SelectRow to let the user know what row is current.


Events

ScrollPriorRow triggers these events in the order shown:

You should not use ScrollPriorRow in the ScrollVertical event. Doing so causes this series of events to be triggered repeatedly until the first row in the DataWindow is reached.

Examples

Example 1

This statement scrolls dw_employee to the prior row:

dw_employee.ScrollPriorRow()
