and +navigation for data entry forms. +<p> + + +<p> A high-level API is provided for navigating through data records +in a cursor, for inserting, updating and deleting records, and for +refreshing data in the display. +<p> If you want a read-only form to present database data use +<a href="ntqdataview.html">TQDataView</a>; if you want a table-based presentation of your data use +<a href="ntqdatatable.html">TQDataTable</a>. +<p> A TQDataBrowser is used to associate a dataset with a form in much +the same way as a TQDataTable associates a dataset with a table. +Once the data browser has been constructed it can be associated +with a dataset with <a href="#setSqlCursor">setSqlCursor</a>(), and with a form with +<a href="#setForm">setForm</a>(). Boundary checking, sorting and filtering can be set +with <a href="#setBoundaryChecking">setBoundaryChecking</a>(), <a href="#setSort">setSort</a>() and <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>(), +respectively. +<p> The <a href="#insertCurrent">insertCurrent</a>() function reads the fields from the default +form into the default cursor and performs the insert. The +<a href="#updateCurrent">updateCurrent</a>() and <a href="#deleteCurrent">deleteCurrent</a>() functions perform similarly to +update and delete the current record respectively. +<p> The user can be asked to confirm all edits with <a href="#setConfirmEdits">setConfirmEdits</a>(). +For more precise control use <a href="#setConfirmInsert">setConfirmInsert</a>(), +<a href="#setConfirmUpdate">setConfirmUpdate</a>(), <a href="#setConfirmDelete">setConfirmDelete</a>() and <a href="#setConfirmCancels">setConfirmCancels</a>(). +Use <a href="#setAutoEdit">setAutoEdit</a>() to control the behaviour of the form when the +user edits a record and then navigates. +<p> The record set is navigated using <a href="#first">first</a>(), <a href="#next">next</a>(), <a href="#prev">prev</a>(), <a href="#last">last</a>() +and <a href="#seek">seek</a>(). The form's display is updated with <a href="#refresh">refresh</a>(). When +navigation takes place the <a href="#firstRecordAvailable">firstRecordAvailable</a>(), +<a href="#lastRecordAvailable">lastRecordAvailable</a>(), <a href="#nextRecordAvailable">nextRecordAvailable</a>() and +<a href="#prevRecordAvailable">prevRecordAvailable</a>() signals are emitted. When the cursor record +is changed due to navigation the <a href="#cursorChanged">cursorChanged</a>() signal is +emitted. +<p> If you want finer control of the insert, update and delete +processes then you can use the lower level functions to perform +these operations as described below. +<p> The form is populated with data from the database with +<a href="#readFields">readFields</a>(). If the user is allowed to edit, (see <a href="#setReadOnly">setReadOnly</a>()), +write the form's data back to the cursor's edit buffer with +<a href="#writeFields">writeFields</a>(). You can clear the values in the form with +<a href="#clearValues">clearValues</a>(). Editing is performed as follows: +<ul> +<li> <em>insert</em> When the data browser enters insertion mode it emits the +<a href="#primeInsert">primeInsert</a>() signal which you can connect to, for example to +pre-populate fields. Call writeFields() to write the user's edits to +the cursor's edit buffer then call <a href="#insert">insert</a>() to insert the record +into the database. The <a href="#beforeInsert">beforeInsert</a>() signal is emitted just before +the cursor's edit buffer is inserted into the database; connect to +this for example, to populate fields such as an auto-generated +primary key. +<li> <em>update</em> For updates the <a href="#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>() signal is emitted when +the data browser enters update mode. After calling writeFields() +call <a href="#update">update</a>() to update the record and connect to the <a href="#beforeUpdate">beforeUpdate</a>() +signal to manipulate the user's data before the update takes place. +<li> <em>delete</em> For deletion the <a href="#primeDelete">primeDelete</a>() signal is emitted when +the data browser enters deletion mode. After calling <a href="#writeFields">writeFields</a>() +call <a href="#del">del</a>() to delete the record and connect to the <a href="#beforeDelete">beforeDelete</a>() +signal, for example to record an audit of the deleted record. +</ul> +<p> <p>See also <a href="database.html">Database Classes</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="Boundary-enum"></a>TQDataBrowser::Boundary</h3> + +<p> This enum describes where the data browser is positioned. +<ul> +<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::Unknown</tt> - the boundary cannot be determined (usually because +there is no default cursor, or the default cursor is not active). +<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::None</tt> - the browser is not positioned on a boundary, but it is +positioned on a record somewhere in the middle. +<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::BeforeBeginning</tt> - the browser is positioned before the +first available record. +<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::Beginning</tt> - the browser is positioned at the first record. +<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::End</tt> - the browser is positioned at the last +record. +<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::AfterEnd</tt> - the browser is positioned after the last +available record. +</ul> +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDataBrowser"></a>TQDataBrowser::TQDataBrowser ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, WFlags fl = 0 ) +</h3> +Constructs a data browser which is a child of <em>parent</em>, with the +name <em>name</em> and widget flags set to <em>fl</em>. + +<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQDataBrowser"></a>TQDataBrowser::~TQDataBrowser () +</h3> +Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources. + +<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoEdit"></a>TQDataBrowser::autoEdit () const +</h3><p>Returns TRUE if the browser automatically applies edits; otherwise returns FALSE. +See the <a href="ntqdatabrowser.html#autoEdit-prop">"autoEdit"</a> property for details. +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="beforeDelete"></a>TQDataBrowser::beforeDelete ( <a href="ntqsqlrecord.html">TQSqlRecord</a> * buf )<tt> [signal]</tt> +</h3> + +<p> This signal is emitted just before the cursor's edit buffer is +deleted from the database.
