Applies to
Window.
Description
When set, allows you to override the default @RECORD associated with the current window. Keep in mind that while you can update @RECORD programmatically using this property, the database associated controls in the window will not be updated.
Usage
currrec = Get_Property (windowname, "RECORD") prevrec = Set_Property (windowname, "RECORD", newrec)
Remarks
A valid use for this property is when an event or stored procedure alters the values of controls, and this is intended to be reflected in the contents of @RECORD associated with the form, for purposes of symbolic calculation. As previously mentioned, the contents of @RECORD will not be used at WRITE time. Instead the form I/O logic extracts the values from the controls themselves to output to the database. @RECORD is a secondary and possibly partial (in the case of multi-table forms) representation of the contents of the controls.
