RowsMove method (DataWindows)

Description

Clears a range of rows from one DataWindow control (or DataStore)
and inserts them in another. Alternatively, RowsMove moves rows
from one buffer to another within a single DataWindow control (or
DataStore).

Controls

DataWindow type

Method applies to

PowerBuilder

DataWindow control, DataWindowChild object, DataStore
object

Web ActiveX

DataWindow control, DataWindowChild object

Syntax

[PowerBuilder]

[Web ActiveX]

Argument

Description

dwcontrol

The name of a DataWindow control, DataStore,
or child DataWindow from which you want to move rows.

startrow

The number of the first row you want
to move.

endrow

The number of the last row you want to
move.

movebuffer

A value of the dwBuffer enumerated datatype (PowerBuilder)
or an integer (Web ActiveX) identifying the DataWindow buffer from
which you want to move the rows.

For a list of valid values, see DWBuffer.

targetdw

The name of the DataWindow control or
DataStore to which you want to move the rows. Targetdw can
be the same DataWindow control (or DataStore) or a different DataWindow
control (or DataStore), but it cannot be a child DataWindow.

beforerow

The number of the row before which you
want to insert the moved rows. To insert after the last row, use
any value that is greater than the number of existing rows.

targetbuffer

A value of the dwBuffer enumerated datatype (PowerBuilder)
or an integer (Web ActiveX) identifying the target buffer for the
rows.

For a list of valid values, see DWBuffer.

Return Values

Returns 1 if it succeeds and –1 if an error occurs.

If any argument’s value is null, in PowerBuilder
and JavaScript the method returns null.

Usage

When you use RowsMove, the rows have the
status NewModified! in the target DataWindow.

If you move rows between buffers in a single DataWindow control
or DataStore, PowerBuilder retains knowledge of where the rows came
from, and their status is changed accordingly. For example, if you
move unmodified rows from the primary buffer to the delete buffer,
they are marked for deletion. If you move the rows back to the primary
buffer, their status returns to NotModified!. Note, however, that
if you move rows from one DataWindow control (or DataStore) to another
and back again, the rows’ status is NewModified! because
they came from a different DataWindow.

The RowsMove method triggers the RowFocusChanging
and RowFocusChanged events only when the row number of
the current row is changed
. The current row is simply
a number that indicates which row is the current row. A change in
the content of the row does not trigger the events if the number
of the current row remains the same.

Suppose you have a DataWindow with two rows. If the current
row is row 1 and RowsMove moves row 1, row 2
becomes the current row, but its row number also changes from 2
to 1. The events are not fired because the current row number is
still row 1. If the current row is row 2 and RowsMove moves
row 1, the events are fired because the current row number has changed
from row 2 to row 1.

When you use RowsMove, data is not automatically
retrieved for drop-down DataWindows in the target DataWindow, as
it is when you call InsertRow. You must explicitly call Retrieve
for child DataWindows in the target.

When you use RowsCopy or RowsMove to
populate another DataWindow, the copied data is not automatically
processed by filters or sort criteria in effect on the target DataWindow.
You might be required to call the Filter, GroupCalc,
or Sort methods to properly process the data.

Uses for RowsMove include:

  • Moving several rows from the
    primary buffer to the delete buffer, instead of deleting them one
    at a time

  • Moving rows from the delete buffer to the primary
    buffer, to implement an Undo capability in your application

note.png Buffer manipulation and query mode

A DataWindow cannot be in query mode
when you call the RowsMove method.

Examples

This statement moves all the rows starting with the
first row in the delete buffer for dw_1 to the primary
buffer for dw_1, thereby undeleting these rows:
