Causes the view associated with a Cursor to activate without downloading data. Available at design time; read-write at run time.
Syntax
DataEnvironment.Cursor.NoDataOnLoad[ = lExpr]
Settings
lExpr
The settings for the NoDataOnLoad property are:
| Setting | Description |
| True (.T.) | The view associated with the Cursor is opened without downloading data. |
| False (.F.) | (Default) The view associated with the Cursor is opened with data. |
Remarks
Note When the Cursor object is accessed using CURSORSETPROP( ), the NoDataOnLoad property is read-only at run time.
Use the NoDataOnLoad property to ensure that the FormSet or Form associated with the view loads quickly (it can be time-consuming to download data from a backend server). You can use REQUERY( ) in conjunction with NoDataOnLoad to download data into the active view once the Form is loaded.
The NoDataOnLoad property mimics the behavior of the NODATA clause of USE.
