Accessing data in a matrixbox control

xavigepe

Hi. Is there a way to access the data in a matrixbox like you can do in Visual Basic: MATRIXBOX(ROW,COL) ?.

Thanks

You can access the matrixheader if that is wat you mean

CurrForm.Matrix.Matrixrec.Field

I think report 82 does something like this.

If you mean
To put information in a cell:
Use the "OnFormat"-trigger of the cell
and put something like

Text := your value;

I use this trigger, instead of the "OnAfterGetRecord()" of the matrix-box, because in this last trigger, the refresh of all the fields is not always correct. With the "OnFormat"-trigger of the cell, it is correct

To get information from it. You need to intercept it in the "OnValidate" or "OnAfterValidate"-triggers of the cell. I always use the "OnValidate"-trigger because if I have an error in the "OnAfterValidate"-trigger, I get kicked out of the form.
