<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQDataTable class provides a flexible SQL table widget that supports browsing and editing.
<p>
<p> TQDataTable supports various functions for presenting and editing
SQL data from a <a href="tqsqlcursor.html">TQSqlCursor</a> in a table.
<p> If you want a to present your data in a form use <a href="tqdatabrowser.html">TQDataBrowser</a>, or
for read-only forms, <a href="tqdataview.html">TQDataView</a>.
<p> When displaying data, TQDataTable only retrieves data for visible
rows. If the driver supports the 'query size' property the
TQDataTable will have the correct number of rows and the vertical
scrollbar will accurately reflect the number of rows displayed in
proportion to the number of rows in the dataset. If the driver
does not support the 'query size' property, rows are dynamically
fetched from the database on an as-needed basis with the scrollbar
becoming more accurate as the user scrolls down through the
records. This allows extremely large queries to be displayed as
quickly as possible, with minimum memory usage.
<p> TQDataTable inherits <a href="ntqtable.html">TQTable</a>'s API and extends it with functions to
sort and filter the data and sort columns. See <a href="#setSqlCursor">setSqlCursor</a>(),
<a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>(), <a href="#setSort">setSort</a>(), <a href="ntqtable.html#setSorting">setSorting</a>(), <a href="#sortColumn">sortColumn</a>() and <a href="#refresh">refresh</a>().
<p> When displaying editable cursors, cell editing will be enabled.
(For more information on editable cursors, see <a href="tqsqlcursor.html">TQSqlCursor</a>).
TQDataTable can be used to modify existing data and to add new
records. When a user makes changes to a field in the table, the
cursor's edit buffer is used. The table will not send changes in
the edit buffer to the database until the user moves to a
different record in the grid or presses Enter. Cell editing is
initiated by pressing F2 (or right clicking and then clicking the
appropriate popup menu item) and canceled by pressing Esc. If
there is a problem updating or adding data, errors are handled
automatically (see <a href="#handleError">handleError</a>() to change this behavior). Note
that if <a href="#autoEdit">autoEdit</a>() is FALSE navigating to another record will
cancel the insert or update.
<p> The user can be asked to confirm all edits with <a href="#setConfirmEdits">setConfirmEdits</a>().
For more precise control use <a href="#setConfirmInsert">setConfirmInsert</a>(),
<a href="#setConfirmUpdate">setConfirmUpdate</a>(), <a href="#setConfirmDelete">setConfirmDelete</a>() and <a href="#setConfirmCancels">setConfirmCancels</a>().
Use <a href="#setAutoEdit">setAutoEdit</a>() to control the behaviour of the table when the
user edits a record and then navigates. (Note that <a href="#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>()
is unrelated; it is used to set whether the <a href="tqsqlcursor.html">TQSqlCursor</a> is deleted
when the table is deleted.)
<p> Since the data table can perform edits, it must be able to
uniquely identify every record so that edits are correctly
applied. Because of this the underlying cursor must have a valid
primary index to ensure that a unique record is inserted, updated
or deleted within the database otherwise the database may be
changed to an inconsistent state.
<p> TQDataTable creates editors using the default <a href="tqsqleditorfactory.html">TQSqlEditorFactory</a>.
Different editor factories can be used by calling
<a href="#installEditorFactory">installEditorFactory</a>(). A property map is used to map between the
cell's value and the editor. You can use your own property map
with <a href="#installPropertyMap">installPropertyMap</a>().
<p> The contents of a cell is available as a <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> with <a href="#text">text</a>() or as
a <a href="ntqvariant.html">TQVariant</a> with <a href="#value">value</a>(). The current record is returned by
<a href="#currentRecord">currentRecord</a>(). Use the <a href="#find">find</a>() function to search for a string in
the table.
<p> Editing actions can be applied programatically. For example, the
<a href="#insertCurrent">insertCurrent</a>() function reads the fields from the current record
into the cursor and performs the insert. The <a href="#updateCurrent">updateCurrent</a>() and
<a href="#deleteCurrent">deleteCurrent</a>() functions perform similarly to update and delete
the current record respectively.
<p> Columns in the table can be created automatically based on the
cursor (see <a href="#setSqlCursor">setSqlCursor</a>()). Columns can be manipulated manually
using <a href="#addColumn">addColumn</a>(), <a href="#removeColumn">removeColumn</a>() and <a href="#setColumn">setColumn</a>().
<p> The table automatically copies many of the properties of the
cursor to format the display of data within cells (alignment,
visibility, etc.). The cursor can be changed with setSqlCursor().
The filter (see <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>()) and sort defined within the table are
used instead of the filter and sort set on the cursor. For sorting
options see <a href="#setSort">setSort</a>(), <a href="#sortColumn">sortColumn</a>(), <a href="#sortAscending">sortAscending</a>() and
<a href="#sortDescending">sortDescending</a>(). Note that sorting operations will not behave as
expected if you are using a <a href="tqsqlselectcursor.html">TQSqlSelectCursor</a> because it uses
user-defined SQL queries to obtain data.
<p> The text used to represent NULL, TRUE and FALSE values can be
changed with <a href="#setNullText">setNullText</a>(), <a href="#setTrueText">setTrueText</a>() and <a href="#setFalseText">setFalseText</a>()
respectively. You can change the appearance of cells by
reimplementing <a href="#paintField">paintField</a>().
<p> Whenever a new row is selected in the table the <a href="#currentChanged">currentChanged</a>()
signal is emitted. The <a href="#primeInsert">primeInsert</a>() signal is emitted when an
insert is initiated. The <a href="#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>() and <a href="#primeDelete">primeDelete</a>() signals
are emitted when update and deletion are initiated respectively.
Just before the database is updated a signal is emitted;
<a href="#beforeInsert">beforeInsert</a>(), <a href="#beforeUpdate">beforeUpdate</a>() or <a href="#beforeDelete">beforeDelete</a>() as appropriate.

<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="Refresh-enum"></a>TQDataTable::Refresh</h3>
<p> This enum describes the refresh options.
<ul>
<li><tt>TQDataTable::RefreshData</tt> - refresh the data, i.e. read it from the database
<li><tt>TQDataTable::RefreshColumns</tt> - refresh the list of fields, e.g. the column headings
<li><tt>TQDataTable::RefreshAll</tt> - refresh both the data and the list of fields
</ul>
<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDataTable"></a>TQDataTable::TQDataTable ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;parent = 0, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;name = 0 )
</h3>
Constructs a data table which is a child of <em>parent</em>, called
name <em>name</em>.
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDataTable-2"></a>TQDataTable::TQDataTable ( <a href="tqsqlcursor.html">TQSqlCursor</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;cursor, bool&nbsp;autoPopulate = FALSE, <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;parent = 0, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;name = 0 )
</h3>
Constructs a data table which is a child of <em>parent</em>, called name
<em>name</em> using the cursor <em>cursor</em>.
<p> If <em>autoPopulate</em> is TRUE (the default is FALSE), columns are
automatically created based upon the fields in the <em>cursor</em>
record. Note that <em>autoPopulate</em> only governs the creation of
columns; to load the cursor's data into the table use <a href="#refresh">refresh</a>().
<p> If the <em>cursor</em> is read-only, the table also becomes read-only.
In addition, the table adopts the cursor's driver's definition for
representing NULL values as strings.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQDataTable"></a>TQDataTable::~TQDataTable ()
</h3>
Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="addColumn"></a>TQDataTable::addColumn ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;fieldName, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;label = TQString::null, int&nbsp;width = -1, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqiconset.html">TQIconSet</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;iconset = TQIconSet ( ) )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Adds the next column to be displayed using the field <em>fieldName</em>,
column label <em>label</em>, width <em>width</em> and iconset <em>iconset</em>.
<p> If <em>label</em> is specified, it is used as the column's header label,
otherwise the field's display label is used when <a href="#setSqlCursor">setSqlCursor</a>() is
called. The <em>iconset</em> is used to set the icon used by the column
header; by default there is no icon.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setSqlCursor">setSqlCursor</a>() and <a href="#refresh">refresh</a>().
<p>Examples: <a href="sql.html#x2255">sql/overview/subclass1/main.cpp</a>, <a href="sql.html#x2258">sql/overview/subclass3/main.cpp</a>, <a href="sql.html#x2214">sql/overview/table2/main.cpp</a>, and <a href="sqltable-example.html#x2451">sql/sqltable/main.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="adjustColumn"></a>TQDataTable::adjustColumn ( int&nbsp;col )<tt> [virtual slot]</tt>
</h3>
Resizes column <em>col</em> so that the column width is wide enough to
display the widest item the column contains (including the column
label). If the table's <a href="tqsqlcursor.html">TQSqlCursor</a> is not currently active, the
cursor will be refreshed before the column width is calculated. Be
aware that this function may be slow on tables that contain large
result sets.
<p>Reimplemented from <a href="ntqtable.html#adjustColumn">TQTable</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoDelete"></a>TQDataTable::autoDelete () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the table will automatically delete the cursor
specified by <a href="#setSqlCursor">setSqlCursor</a>(); otherwise returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoEdit"></a>TQDataTable::autoEdit () const
</h3><p>Returns TRUE if the data table automatically applies edits; otherwise returns FALSE.
See the <a href="tqdatatable.html#autoEdit-prop">"autoEdit"</a> property for details.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="beforeDelete"></a>TQDataTable::beforeDelete ( <a href="tqsqlrecord.html">TQSqlRecord</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;buf )<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>
<p> This signal is emitted just before the currently selected record
is deleted from the database. The <em>buf</em> parameter points to the
edit buffer being deleted. Connect to this signal to, for example,
copy some of the fields for later use.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="beforeInsert"></a>TQDataTable::beforeInsert ( <a href="tqsqlrecord.html">TQSqlRecord</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;buf )<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>
<p> This signal is emitted just before the cursor's edit buffer is
inserted into the database. The <em>buf</em> parameter points to the
edit buffer being inserted. Connect to this signal to, for
example, populate a key field with a unique sequence number.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="beforeUpdate"></a>TQDataTable::beforeUpdate ( <a href="tqsqlrecord.html">TQSqlRecord</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;buf )<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>
<p> This signal is emitted just before the cursor's edit buffer is
updated in the database. The <em>buf</em> parameter points to the edit
buffer being updated. Connect to this signal when you want to
transform the user's data behind-the-scenes.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="beginInsert"></a>TQDataTable::beginInsert ()<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
Protected virtual function called when editing is about to begin
on a new record. If the table is read-only, or if there's no
cursor or the cursor does not allow inserts, nothing happens.
<p> Editing takes place using the cursor's edit buffer(see
<a href="tqsqlcursor.html#editBuffer">TQSqlCursor::editBuffer</a>()).
<p> When editing begins, a new row is created in the table marked with
an asterisk '*' in the row's vertical header column, i.e. at the
left of the row.
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;* <a name="beginUpdate"></a>TQDataTable::beginUpdate ( int&nbsp;row, int&nbsp;col, bool&nbsp;replace )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
Protected virtual function called when editing is about to begin
on an existing row. If the table is read-only, or if there's no
cursor, nothing happens.
<p> Editing takes place using the cursor's edit buffer (see
<a href="tqsqlcursor.html#editBuffer">TQSqlCursor::editBuffer</a>()).
<p> <em>row</em> and <em>col</em> refer to the row and column in the TQDataTable.
<p> (<em>replace</em> is provided for reimplementors and reflects the API of
<a href="ntqtable.html#beginEdit">TQTable::beginEdit</a>().)
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqsql.html#Confirm-enum">TQSql::Confirm</a> <a name="confirmCancel"></a>TQDataTable::confirmCancel ( <a href="tqsql.html#Op-enum">TQSql::Op</a>&nbsp;m )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
Protected virtual function which returns a confirmation for
cancelling an edit mode of <em>m</em>. Derived classes can reimplement
this function to provide their own cancel dialog. The default
implementation uses a message box which prompts the user to
confirm the cancel.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="confirmCancels"></a>TQDataTable::confirmCancels () const
</h3><p>Returns TRUE if the data table confirms cancel operations; otherwise returns FALSE.
See the <a href="tqdatatable.html#confirmCancels-prop">"confirmCancels"</a> property for details.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="confirmDelete"></a>TQDataTable::confirmDelete () const

each item having the form 'fieldname order' (e.g., 'id ASC',
'surname DESC').
<p> There is no default sort.
<p> Note that if you want to iterate over the sort list, you should
iterate over a copy, e.g.
<pre>
<a href="ntqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> list = myDataTable.sort();
TQStringList::Iterator it = list.<a href="ntqvaluelist.html#begin">begin</a>();
while( it != list.<a href="ntqvaluelist.html#end">end</a>() ) {
myProcessing( *it );
++it;
}
