Record Views

To support form-based data-access applications, the class library provides class CRecordView and class CDaoRecordView. A “record view” is a form view object whose controls are mapped directly to the field data members of a recordset object (and indirectly to the corresponding columns in a query result or table on the data source). Like their base class CFormView, CRecordView and CDaoRecordView are based on a dialog template resource.

Form Uses

Forms are useful for a variety of data-access tasks:

• Data entry
  
  
• Read-only examination of data
  
  
• Updating data
