#63: How can I copy (dublicate) the dataset record? |
|
In some apllications, in which user must add a lot of the records in the dataset, very useful the "copy record" mode. For example, the operator added the new record and must add the new, but this second record is "similar" to first and only few attributes are different. In this case, I use the possibility to dublicate the values of the wished record, insert a new record and open the dialog for editing these values. Those from you, who uses the my freeware TSMDBNavigator component, saw the new additional Copy button with the next handler: procedure TSMDBNavigator.CopyRecord; var varCopyData: Variant; i: Integer; begin with DataSource.DataSet do begin varCopyData := VarArrayCreate([0, FieldCount-1], varVariant); for i := 0 to FieldCount-1 do varCopyData[i] := Fields[i].Value; Insert; for i := 0 to FieldCount-1 do Fields[i].Value := varCopyData[i]; end; end; So you can assign to the TSMDBNavigator.OnEditRecord event the dialog opening for record edit. In this event I pass the second parameter: is copy mode or edit mode only. Of course, you can cut this procedure and use this code for run-time record dublication without using TSMDBNavigator component. Also you can modify it and exclude the wished fields (for example, autoincremental fields).
