How do you track the current row in a scrolling datawindow?

[abhijit74]

hi folks,
i am facing a problem in tryin to keep track of the current row of a datawindow.

i use the dw.GetRow() function to get hold of the current row. I have written this function in the scrollvertical event of the datawindow control. I notice that scrolling in the dw has no effect on this function, which always returns me a value of 1.

Could someone tell me how do I track this row? its giving me nightmares.

Cheers!

Simpling using the vertical scrollbar does not actually change the currently focussed row unless you click on a different row or use the ScrollToRow()/SetRow() functions. You may query the:

dw.Describe( "DataWindow.FirstRowOnPage" )

to get the row number of the first row displayed on the dw, instead. I'm sure you are looking for this value.

Abhijit,

Here is the dot-notation:

ll_Row = Long( dw.Object.DataWindow.FirstRowOnPage )
