View_Latch_State - dbTabView_

Determines if the view's DDO structure will be initialized with the data

Type: Property
Access: Read/Write
Data Type: Integer
Parameters: None

Syntax

Property Integer View_Latch_State
Access Type Syntax
Read Access: Get View_Latch_State to IntegerVariable
Write Access: Set View_Latch_State to IntegerVariable/Value

Description

When View_Latch_State is set true, the view's DDO structure will be initialized with the record that happens to be in the record buffer of the main_dd, unless a record is already in the view's buffer.

When View_Latch_State is set false, the view's DDO structure will initialize with cleared data.

Default is true.

This property is useful because it causes default behavior that is often desired. For example, if a Customer entry view has a customer record in buffer and the user opens an order view that uses the Customer table, the current Customer record will default.
