Designing the Procedure Logic › Group View Manipulation

Group View Manipulation

You can use these GUI statements in action diagram control for manipulating group views:

• SORT
• FILTER and UNFILTER
• ADD EMPTY ROW
• REMOVE ROW FROM
• HIGHLIGHT and UNHIGHLIGHT
• GET ROW HIGHLIGHTED
• GET ROW CLOCKED
• DISPLAY
• GET ROW VISIBLE

The same functionality is available for explicitly and implicitly indexed group views. The techniques employed are sometimes different, depending on the action. Explicitly indexed group views are used more in client procedures than implicitly indexed views. The examples for these statements use only explicitly indexed group views.

Restrictions on using the group view manipulation statements:

• These statements can only be placed in procedure action diagrams or event handlers.
• SORT, FILTER, UNFILTER, ADD EMPTY ROW, and REMOVE ROW from are only for export, local, or exportable import that includes a selection character.
