Scrolls to the next row in a DataWindow control.
Description
Scrolls a DataWindow control to the next row (forward one row). ScrollNextRow changes the current row, but not the current column.
Applies to
Syntax
PowerBuilder
long dwcontrol.ScrollNextRow ( )
Return value
Returns the number of the row displayed at the top of the DataWindow control when the scroll finishes or tries to scroll past the last row. ScrollNextRow returns -1 if an error occurs.
If dwcontrol is null, in PowerBuilder and JavaScript the method returns null.
Usage
After you call ScrollNextRow, the row after the current row becomes the new current row. If that row is already visible, the displayed rows do not change. If it is not visible, the displayed rows move up to display the row.
ScrollNextRow does not highlight the row. Use SelectRow to let the user know what row is current.
Events
ScrollNextRow triggers these events in the order shown:
| RowFocusChanging |
| RowFocusChanged |
| ItemFocusChanged |
| ScrollVertical |
You should not use ScrollNextRow in the ScrollVertical event. Doing so causes this series of events to be triggered repeatedly until the last row in the DataWindow is reached.
Examples
This statement scrolls dw_employee to the next row:
dw_employee.ScrollNextRow()

Description
Scrolls to the next instance of the document in a RichTextEdit DataWindow.
Applies to
Syntax
PowerBuilder
integer rtename.ScrollNextRow ( )
|
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
|
rtename |
A reference to a DataWindow control in which you want to scroll to the next document instance. Each instance is associated with a DataWindow row. The DataWindow object in the DataWindow control must be a RichTextEdit DataWindow. |
Return value
Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs.
Usage
A DataWindow control with a RichText DataWindow object has multiple instances of the RichText document, where each instance is associated with one row of retrieved data.
ScrollNextRow advances to the next instance of the RichTextEdit document. In contrast, repeated calls to ScrollNextPage advance through all the pages of the document instance and then on to the pages for the next row.
PowerBuilder RichTextEdit control
You can use the same syntax with any PowerBuilder RichTextEdit control. See the section called “ScrollNextRow” in PowerScript Reference.
Examples
This statement scrolls to the next instance of the RichText document in the DataWindow control dw_rpt. (Each document instance is associated with a row of data):
dw_rpt.ScrollNextRow()
