Components

SQL data

This button on the menu is not a component that can be added to applications, but a tool to facilitate editing the window-definition for the application to be created.

The events that are recognized for components of the type SQL data are:

AddNew, Create, DeleteRecord, Destroy, Error, MoveFirst, MoveLast, MoveNext, MovePrevious, MoveTo, UpdateControls, UpdateRecord and Validate.

This facility is only enabled when the MSM-SQL system is installed in the current workspace within the active database in MSM-Workstation.

When active, this button gives access to the Schema and Table in the MSM-SQL Data Dictionary.
It allows for a very quick and easy way of providing data entry screens. There is a number of properties for handling the moving to a next record in a query and updating or deleting records.

There is no default property for SQL data.
