RDO Data-Bound Controls

  • Article

The following data-bound controls display data from the RDO RemoteData Control. See Inserting the Control into a Visual C++ Application and Setting Control Properties at Design Time for information on using ActiveX controls.

Control Name and Support Files Description
Microsoft DBCombo

Dblist32.ocx

DBList98.chm

 The DBCombo control allows retrieved data to appear in a drop-down combo box.

To connect the DBCombo control to a data source

  1. Set the DataSource and the RowSource properties to an RDO RemoteData Control.

  2. Set the DataField and ListField properties to the desired fields.

DataSource and DataField govern the active value of the DBCombo control. RowSource and ListField allow the display of column data other than the current record. You can also set the BoundColumn property; this property represents the value of the control when it is made into a variable in an MFC application.
Microsoft DBGrid

Dbgrid32.ocx

DBGrid96.hlp

 The DBGrid control displays retrieved data. It can hold text data, but not linked or embedded objects. The AllowAddNew, AllowDelete, and AllUpdate properties allow the DBGrid to modify data.
Microsoft DBList

Dblist32.ocx

DBList98.chm

 The DBList control allows retrieved data to appear in a drop-down list box.

To connect the DBList control to a data source

Follow the instructions for connecting a DBCombo control to a data source.
Microsoft FlexGrid

Msflxgrd.ocx

MsHFlx98.chm

 The FlexGrid control displays tabular data. Unlike the DBGrid, it is read-only. It has different formatting capabilities than the DBGrid control; it can sort, merge, and format tables containing strings and pictures.
