Visual Basic: MSFlexGrid/MSHFlexGrid Controls
DataField Property (MSHFlexGrid)
SeeAlso Example Applies To
Returns the name of the field bound to the specified column in the specified band. This property is read-only.
Syntax
*object.*DataField(number, index) [= string]
The DataField property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| number | A Long value that specifies the band that contains the column to affect. |
| index | A Long value that either specifies the column to get, or sets the binding field. |
| string | A string expression that evaluates the name of one of the fields in the Recordset object specified by the data provider. |
Remarks
When number is unspecified, it defaults to 0. Hence, when the MSHFlexGrid is not bound to a hierarchical Recordset, using 0 and not specifying number both have the same result.
If the MSHFlexGrid is not bound and the number and index are valid, DataField returns an empty string.
If a Refresh is executed after the DataProvider property is changed, the Recordset object may have different fields. This may invalidate the DataField settings of the bound columns and produce a trappable error.
