Data navigation using multiple grids with a single data source

[GAllan60]

Hi All

I'm currently developing a GIS application that interacts with an Oracle database. I'm trying to do something like this:

Database--Query ----Form 1--Data Source-Grid
Table \
\--------Form 2--Data Source-Grid

The idea being that if I edit data in form 1 it is shown as edited in form 2 when I exit the record rather than having to re-query. This currently works but both grids scroll simultaneously.

Is it possible to keep the editing linked but allow the two grids scroll independently? Ideally the active record would still remain highlighted in both grids, even if it’s not visible in one of the forms.

If anyone is familiar with MapInfo I'd like something like the editing that is available there.

I’m using a TSmartQuery from CoreLab to provide the query and data source.

Thanks

Look at DataSet.DisableControls / EnableControls. Note that calls to DisableControls can be nested and has a hidden Count. See also boolean function ControlsDisabled.
