<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQDataBrowser class provides data manipulation and
navigation for data entry forms.
<p>
<p> A high-level API is provided for navigating through data records
in a cursor, for inserting, updating and deleting records, and for
refreshing data in the display.
<p> If you want a read-only form to present database data use
<a href="tqdataview.html">TQDataView</a>; if you want a table-based presentation of your data use
<a href="tqdatatable.html">TQDataTable</a>.
<p> A TQDataBrowser is used to associate a dataset with a form in much
the same way as a TQDataTable associates a dataset with a table.
Once the data browser has been constructed it can be associated
with a dataset with <a href="#setSqlCursor">setSqlCursor</a>(), and with a form with
<a href="#setForm">setForm</a>(). Boundary checking, sorting and filtering can be set
with <a href="#setBoundaryChecking">setBoundaryChecking</a>(), <a href="#setSort">setSort</a>() and <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>(),
respectively.
<p> The <a href="#insertCurrent">insertCurrent</a>() function reads the fields from the default
form into the default cursor and performs the insert. The
<a href="#updateCurrent">updateCurrent</a>() and <a href="#deleteCurrent">deleteCurrent</a>() functions perform similarly to
update and delete the current record respectively.
<p> The user can be asked to confirm all edits with <a href="#setConfirmEdits">setConfirmEdits</a>().
For more precise control use <a href="#setConfirmInsert">setConfirmInsert</a>(),
<a href="#setConfirmUpdate">setConfirmUpdate</a>(), <a href="#setConfirmDelete">setConfirmDelete</a>() and <a href="#setConfirmCancels">setConfirmCancels</a>().
Use <a href="#setAutoEdit">setAutoEdit</a>() to control the behaviour of the form when the
user edits a record and then navigates.
<p> The record set is navigated using <a href="#first">first</a>(), <a href="#next">next</a>(), <a href="#prev">prev</a>(), <a href="#last">last</a>()
and <a href="#seek">seek</a>(). The form's display is updated with <a href="#refresh">refresh</a>(). When
navigation takes place the <a href="#firstRecordAvailable">firstRecordAvailable</a>(),
<a href="#lastRecordAvailable">lastRecordAvailable</a>(), <a href="#nextRecordAvailable">nextRecordAvailable</a>() and
<a href="#prevRecordAvailable">prevRecordAvailable</a>() signals are emitted. When the cursor record
is changed due to navigation the <a href="#cursorChanged">cursorChanged</a>() signal is
emitted.
<p> If you want finer control of the insert, update and delete
processes then you can use the lower level functions to perform
these operations as described below.
<p> The form is populated with data from the database with
<a href="#readFields">readFields</a>(). If the user is allowed to edit, (see <a href="#setReadOnly">setReadOnly</a>()),
write the form's data back to the cursor's edit buffer with
<a href="#writeFields">writeFields</a>(). You can clear the values in the form with
<a href="#clearValues">clearValues</a>(). Editing is performed as follows:
<ul>
<li> <em>insert</em> When the data browser enters insertion mode it emits the
<a href="#primeInsert">primeInsert</a>() signal which you can connect to, for example to
pre-populate fields. Call writeFields() to write the user's edits to
the cursor's edit buffer then call <a href="#insert">insert</a>() to insert the record
into the database. The <a href="#beforeInsert">beforeInsert</a>() signal is emitted just before
the cursor's edit buffer is inserted into the database; connect to
this for example, to populate fields such as an auto-generated
primary key.
<li> <em>update</em> For updates the <a href="#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>() signal is emitted when
the data browser enters update mode. After calling writeFields()

<h3 class=fn><a name="Boundary-enum"></a>TQDataBrowser::Boundary</h3>
<p> This enum describes where the data browser is positioned.
<ul>
<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::Unknown</tt> - the boundary cannot be determined (usually because
there is no default cursor, or the default cursor is not active).
<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::None</tt> - the browser is not positioned on a boundary, but it is
positioned on a record somewhere in the middle.
<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::BeforeBeginning</tt> - the browser is positioned before the
first available record.
<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::Beginning</tt> - the browser is positioned at the first record.
<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::End</tt> - the browser is positioned at the last
record.
<li><tt>TQDataBrowser::AfterEnd</tt> - the browser is positioned after the last

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="confirmEdits-prop"></a>confirmEdits</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the browser confirms edits.
<p>If this property is TRUE, the browser confirms all edit operations
(insertions, updates and deletions), otherwise all edit operations
happen immediately. Confirmation is achieved by presenting the
user with a message box -- this behavior can be changed by
reimplementing the <a href="#confirmEdit">confirmEdit</a>() function,
<p> <p>See also <a href="#confirmEdit">confirmEdit</a>(), <a href="#confirmCancels-prop">confirmCancels</a>, <a href="#confirmInsert-prop">confirmInsert</a>, <a href="#confirmUpdate-prop">confirmUpdate</a>, and <a href="#confirmDelete-prop">confirmDelete</a>.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setConfirmEdits">setConfirmEdits</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#confirmEdits">confirmEdits</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="confirmInsert-prop"></a>confirmInsert</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the data browser confirms insertions.
<p>If this property is TRUE, the browser confirms insertions,
otherwise insertions happen immediately.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#confirmCancels-prop">confirmCancels</a>, <a href="#confirmEdits-prop">confirmEdits</a>, <a href="#confirmUpdate-prop">confirmUpdate</a>, <a href="#confirmDelete-prop">confirmDelete</a>, and <a href="#confirmEdit">confirmEdit</a>().
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setConfirmInsert">setConfirmInsert</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#confirmInsert">confirmInsert</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="confirmUpdate-prop"></a>confirmUpdate</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the browser confirms updates.
<p>If this property is TRUE, the browser confirms updates, otherwise
updates happen immediately.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#confirmCancels-prop">confirmCancels</a>, <a href="#confirmEdits-prop">confirmEdits</a>, <a href="#confirmInsert-prop">confirmInsert</a>, <a href="#confirmDelete-prop">confirmDelete</a>, and <a href="#confirmEdit">confirmEdit</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="filter-prop"></a>filter</h3>
<p>This property holds the data browser's filter.
<p>The filter applies to the data shown in the browser. Call
<a href="#refresh">refresh</a>() to apply the new filter. A filter is a string containing
a SQL WHERE clause without the WHERE keyword, e.g. "id>1000",
"name LIKE 'A%'", etc.
<p> There is no default filter.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#sort-prop">sort</a>.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#filter">filter</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="readOnly-prop"></a>readOnly</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the browser is read-only.
<p>The default is FALSE, i.e. data can be edited. If the data browser
is read-only, no database edits will be allowed.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setReadOnly">setReadOnly</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#isReadOnly">isReadOnly</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> <a name="sort-prop"></a>sort</h3>
<p>This property holds the data browser's sort.
<p>The data browser's sort affects the order in which records are
viewed in the browser. Call <a href="#refresh">refresh</a>() to apply the new sort.
<p> When retrieving the sort property, a string list is returned in
the form 'fieldname order', e.g. 'id ASC', 'surname DESC'.
<p> There is no default sort.
<p> Note that if you want to iterate over the list, you should iterate
over a copy, e.g.
<pre>
<a href="tqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> list = myDataBrowser.sort();
TQStringList::Iterator it = list.<a href="tqvaluelist.html#begin">begin</a>();
while( it != list.<a href="tqvaluelist.html#end">end</a>() ) {
myProcessing( *it );
++it;
}
</pre>
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setSort">setSort</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#sort">sort</a>().
