Syn tax

Se lBoo km arks

Rem arks

Use the Se lBookm arks property of the DataGrid control to return the Se lB oo km arks collection. Bookmarks are added to the Se lBoo km arks collection in the order they're selected. You can reposition the DataGrid control's current record pointer by setting the Bo o km ark property to one of the selected bookmarks in the Se lBoo km arks collection.

Use the Add method to add bookmarks to the Se lB oo km arks collection. Once a bookmark is appended to the Se lB oo km arks collection, it appears selected in the DataGrid control.

To remove a bookmark from the Se lBoo km arks collection, use the Rem ove method. Once a bookmark is removed from the Se lB oo km arks collection, it no longer appears selected in the DataGrid control.

The Se lBoo km arks collection supports the Add and Rem ove methods as well as the Count property. Using these methods and properties, you can manipulate the list of selected items in the DataGrid control. For example, you can programmatically select additional items by using the Add method, or determine the total number of selected items using the Count property.

Slider ControlSee Also Example Properties Methods Events

A S lider control is a window containing a slider and optional tick marks. You can move the slider by dragging it, clicking the mouse to either side of the slider, or using the keyboard.

Syn tax

S lider

Rem arks

S lider controls are useful when you want to select a discrete value or a set of consecutive values in a range. For example, you could use a S lider to set the size of a displayed image by moving the slider to a given tick mark rather than by typing a number. To select a range of values, set the Se lectRange property to True , and program the control to select a range when the SHIFT key is down.

The S lid e r control can be oriented either horizontally or vertically.

D istribu tio n Note To use the S lider control in your application, you must add the MSCOMCTL.OCX file to the project. When distributing your application, install the MSCOMCTL.OCX file in the user's Microsoft Windows System or System32 directory. For more information on how to add an ActiveX control to a project, see the Program m er's Guide.

27. 12. 2017 Split Object (DataGrid Control)



Split ObjectSee Also Example Properties Methods Events

A Sp lit object represents a split within a DataGrid control.

Rem arks

The D ataGrid supports Excel-like splits that divide the grid into vertical panes to provide users with different views of a database. Each split is represented by a Sp lit object and contains a group of adjacent columns that scroll as a unit. When a DataGrid object is created, it contains one Sp lit object by default.

You can use splits to present your data in multiple vertical panes. The data panes (or splits) can display data, scroll (vertically) together or independently of each other, and display the same or different columns. You can also use splits to fix one or more columns from scrolling. Unlike other grid products, the fixed columns do not have to be at the left edge of the grid, but can be at the right edge or anywhere in the middle. You can even have multiple groups of fixed columns within a grid.

You cannot stretch a column wider than its split. If you resize a split to be smaller then a column you can still grab the "phantom" splitter bar.

Each Sp lit object maintains its own Columns collection. These independent splits and columns provide you with very powerful and flexible data presentation capabilities.

As mentioned above, a grid (a DataGrid object) initially contains a single split. If additional splits are created, you can determine or set the current split (i.e., the split that has received focus) using the grid's Sp lit property as follows:

' Read th e ze ro -b ased in d e x o f the c u r re n t s p l i t V a r ia b le % = D a ta G r id 1 .S p l i t

' Se t fo cu s to th e s p l i t w ith an in d e x eq u a l to ' V a ria b le %D a ta G r id 1 .S p l i t = V a ria b le %

Each split in a grid is a different view of the same data source, and each split behaves just like an independent grid. If you create additional Sp lit objects without customizing any of the split properties, all splits will be identical and each will behave very much like the original grid with one split.

Some of the properties of the DataGrid control are the same as the properties of a Sp lit object and are considered common. Changes made to a DataGrid control common property also change the same property of the current Sp lit object and vice versa. For example, consider a grid with two splits, and assume that the current split index is 1 (i.e., the grid's Sp lit property is set to 1). If you want to determine the marquee style in use, the following statements are identical:

marquee% = D a ta G rid 1 .M a rq u e e S ty le marquee% = D a ta G r id 1 .S p lit s (1 ) .M a rq u e e S ty le

If the current split index is set to 1, then the following code is equivalent for setting the M arqeeStyle property to dbgSo lidCellBorder:







27. 12. 2017 Split Object (DataGrid Control)

D a ta G r id l.M a rq u e e S ty le = d b g S o lid C e llB o rd e r D a ta G r id 1 .S p lit s (1 ) .M a rq u e e S ty le = d b g S o lid C e llB o rd e r

N ote Common properties are unique to DataGrid objects and their associated Sp lit objects. No other object pairs possess similar relationships.

Rem arks

You can create splits at design time using the grid's UI-active context menu. At run time, you can create and remove splits using the Splits collection's Add and Rem ove methods. Each method takes a zero-based split index. The following code demonstrates adding and removing splits at run time:

' C re a te a S p l i t o b je c t w ith in d e x 0 D a ta G r id 1 .S p lit s .A d d 0 ' Remove th e S p l i t o b je c t w ith in d e x 1 D a ta G r id 1 .S p lit s .R e m o v e 1

Visual Basic: MSTab ControlV isua l Stud io 6 .0

SSTab ControlSee Also Example Properties Methods Events

The SSTab control provides a group of tabs, each of which acts as a container for other controls. Only one tab is active in the control at a time, displaying the controls it contains to the user while hiding the controls in the other tabs.

Syn tax

SSTab

Rem arks

An SSTab control is like the dividers in a notebook or the labels on a group of file folders. Using an SSTab control, you can define multiple pages for the same area of a w indow or dialog box in your application. Using the properties of this control, you can:

• Determine the number of tabs.

• Organize the tabs into more than one row.

• Set the text for each tab.

• Display a graphic on each tab.

• Determine the style of tabs used.

• Set the size of each tab.

To use this control, you must first decide how you want to organize the controls you will place into various tabs. Set the Tabs and Tab sPerR o w properties to create the tabs and organize them into rows. Then select each tab at design time by clicking the tab. For each tab, draw the controls you want displayed when the user selects that tab. Set the Caption , P icture , TabH eight, and Tab M axW id th properties as needed to customize the top part of the tab.

At run time, users can navigate between tabs by either pressing CTRL+TAB or by using accelerator keys defined in the caption of each tab.

You can also customize the entire SSTab control using the Style , Show FocusRect, TabO rientation , and W ordW rap properties.

D istribu tio n Note The SSTab control is found in the TABCTL32.OCX file. To use the SSTab control in your application, you must add the control's .OCX file to the project. When distributing your application, install the appropriate .OCX file in the user's Microsoft W indows System or System32 directory. For more information on how to add an additional control to a project, see the Visual Basic Program m er's Guide.

Syn tax

StatusB ar

Rem arks

A S ta tusB ar control consists of Panel objects, each of which can contain text and/or a picture. Properties to control the appearance of individual panels include W id th , A lig nm ent (of text and pictures), and Bevel. Additionally, you can use one of seven values of the S ty le property to automatically display common data such as date, time, and keyboard states.

At design time, you can create panels and customize their appearance by setting values in the Panel tab of the Properties Page of the S ta tusB ar control. At run time, the Panel objects can be reconfigured to reflect different functions, depending on the state of the application. For detailed information about the properties, events, and methods of Panel objects, see the Panel Object and Panels Collection topics.

A S ta tusB ar control typically displays information about an object being viewed on the form, the object's components, or contextual information that relates to that object's operation. The S tatusBar, along with other controls such as the To o lbar control, gives you the tools to create an interface that is economical and yet rich in information.

D istribu tio n Note The S ta tusB ar control is part of a group of custom controls that are found in the MSCOMCTL.OCX file. To use the S ta tusB ar control in your application, you must add the MSCOMCTL.OCX file to the project. When distributing your application, install the MSCOMCTL.OCX file in the user's Microsoft W indows SYSTEM folder.
