When viewing the information in Grid View
a text box appears at the top of the screen displaying the information
in each cell as the users scrolls through the grid. This way the
user can get a glimpse of the "big picture" as well
as the full details in each cell.

Unfortunately in order to display the Grid
we must create each row and column, as we read the recordset,
field by field and record by record. The following code was used
from the devBuzz code snippets area.
Private Sub DispGrid(sTableName As String)
'Display DB-Grid
On Error Resume Next
Dim i As Integer
'Hide grid while being populated, it will load
faster
Grid1.Visible = False
Grid1.Clear
lblDispMsg.Caption = "Loading Grid Please Wait"
lblDispMsg.ForeColor = vbRed
Grid1.Cols = rsWorkingTbl.Fields.Count
Grid1.Rows = 1
Grid1.ColWidth(1) = 1000
If rsWorkingTbl.Fields.Count > 0 Then
For i = 0 To rsWorkingTbl.Fields.Count - 1
Grid1.Col = i
Grid1.Text = rsWorkingTbl.Fields(i).Name
Grid1.CellBackColor = &HC0C0C0
Next
Do While Not rsWorkingTbl.EOF
Grid1.Rows = Grid1.Rows + 1
Grid1.Row = Grid1.Rows - 1
For i = 0 To rsWorkingTbl.Fields.Count - 1
Grid1.Col = i
Grid1.Text = rsWorkingTbl.Fields(i)
Next
rsWorkingTbl.MoveNext
Loop
Grid1.Visible = True
Else
MsgBox "Sorry No Records"
End If
Grid1.Row = 0
Grid1.Col = 0
lblDispMsg.Caption = "BSB DataBase Analyzer"
End Sub
CODE 13 (Form)
As we scroll through the grid the txtBox
text box gets updated with the highlighted value.
Private Sub Grid1_EnterCell()
'Dispaly contents of a cell as you move through the Grid
Dim sVar As Variant
sVar = Grid1.Text
txtBox = sVar
txtBox.Visible = True
End Sub
CODE 14 (Form)
When viewing the information on a record
basis a grid is still used, except this time the left hand column
contains the field names, and the right hand column contains the
values.

The field names are derived from the MsysFields
table, by looking at the table code in the MsysTables table, and
then relating that code in the MsysFields we get all the field
names, lengths and types. (The types are only ODBC types, there
fore the exact type ie currency, vs. number fields is not distinguished
both are simply interpreted as a number field)
Private Sub cmdViewRecs_Click()
'View One Record at a Time
Me.List1.Visible = False
'Open the rsWorkingTbl Record set with the
LoadRecSet
'function location in MAIN Module
LoadRecSet
'Open Grid to view records on at a time
Grid1.Visible = False
rsWorkingTbl.MoveFirst
GridRec_Fill
txtBox.Height = 492
Me.txtBox.Visible = True
BtnShow ("000001111")
Me.lblDispMsg.Caption = "Use the buttons to navigate"
End Sub
Once we open the Recordset we fill in the
Grid, in a similar fashion to the how we filled in the grid view.
This time however the first column contains the field names, and
the second columns contains the corresponding value.
Private Sub GridRec_Fill()
'Display DB-Grid For individual records
Dim sRec As String
'Hide the gird when you populate it, it will load, faster
'and the User won't get dizzy looking at it
Grid1.Visible = False
Grid1.Clear
Grid1.Cols = 2
Grid1.Rows = 1
Grid1.Col = 1
Grid1.ColWidth(1) = 2420
Grid1.Col = 0
rsRecords.MoveFirst
Do While Not rsRecords.EOF
sRec = rsRecords.Fields("FieldName")
Grid1.Col = 0
Grid1.Text = sRec
Grid1.Col = 1
If IsNull(rsWorkingTbl.Fields(sRec)) Then
Grid1.Text = " "
Else
Grid1.Text = rsWorkingTbl.Fields(sRec)
End If
rsRecords.MoveNext
'rsWorkingTbl.Movenext
Grid1.Rows = Grid1.Rows + 1
Grid1.Row = Grid1.Rows - 1
Loop
Grid1.Visible = True
lblDispMsg.Caption = "BSB DataBase Analyzer"
Grid1.Row = 0
Grid1.Col = 0
End Sub
