How to set cursor to a predefined record within grid

burdee64

Hello,

When displaying records in a grid on a from usually the first record within the grid is 'highlighted' as the current record.
However in a specific situation I would like to 'set the cursor' to another record within the grid by default (depending on some data-criteria).

My example: I present a table with some alternatives from which one alternative can be chosen. When modifying the same data again (showing its possible alternatives again) , it would be nice to highlight the previously selected alternative in the grid.

I have tried to get this done with <tablename>_ds.setCurrent() or with <tablename>_ds.setCursor() but I don't get things working.
Anybody got an idea how to get this working properly?

Thanx in advance

You should use the method

<tableName>_ds.findRecord(<record that need to position to>);

But be aware that it is not the fastest operation there is

Thanks Kashperuk,

Sometimes one overlooks the obvious.
I added this method on the end of executeQuery() for this dataset.
Works fine.
