new_griddlg

The new_griddlg function opens a CGrid object into a modeless grid dialog. Alternatively, use new_griddlgmodal to open the grid into a modal dialog. For a descripion of modeless versus modal grid dialogs, see the CGrid class description.

Syntax

D = new_griddlg( CGrid_object )

D = new_griddlg( CGrid_object, sWndTitle )

D = new_griddlg( CGrid_object, sWndTitle, sWndCaption )

Opens the CGrid CGrid_object into a modal dialog window

sTitle is an optional title for the grid dialog.

sCaption is an optional caption to appear above the grid in the dialog.

Returns a CGridDlg object or nil on failure. The only use of the CGridDlg object is to test for nil or pass it to new_gridctrl to get the CGridCtrl object.

Example

The following script creates a CGrid object using the GridParams table to initialize the grid, fills it with data, and then opens it into a modeless dialog:

G = new_grid(GridParams)	- create CGrid with properties from GridParams table
-- open the grid G in a dialog window
D = new_griddlg(G)	-- open the CGrid into a modeless dialog D.
G = new_gridctrl(D)	-- return the grid control for the grid dialog
