BUG: getRecordsetNavbar and getPagingNavbar Methods Do Not Work

• Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When writing script to access the DTC Grid's navbar, the getRecordsetNavbar and getPagingNavbar methods do not seem to work even though statement completion for the navbar gives the impression that the code entered is correct.

CAUSE

The reason typing "Grid.getRecordsetNavbar" or "Grid.getPagingNavbar" does not work is that these methods are written in Javascript and need parentheses at the end so they will return an object. It is possible to get statement completion for the navbar's methods and properties with or without the parentheses, but the code will not work without them.

RESOLUTION

Make sure you put parenthesis at the end of each of the Grid's methods. Instead of typing "Grid.getRecordsetNavbar.updateOnMove", type "Grid.getRecordsetNavbar().updateOnMove".

STATUS
