Description
Scrolls a DataWindow control forward one page, displaying the next group of rows in the DataWindow's display area. (A page is the number of rows that can be displayed in the DataWindow control at one time.) ScrollNextPage changes the current row, but not the current column.
Applies to
Syntax
PowerBuilder
long dwcontrol.ScrollNextPage ( )
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. ScrollNextPage returns 1 with nested or composite reports and child DataWindows since, in these cases, the current row cannot be changed. ScrollNextPage returns -1 if an error occurs.
If dwcontrol is null, in PowerBuilder and JavaScript the method returns null.
Usage
ScrollNextPage does not highlight the current row. Use SelectRow to let the user know what row is current.
For an example that uses RowCount and Describe to check whether the user has scrolled to the last page, see RowCount.

ScrollNextPage can trigger these events:
| ItemChanged |
| ItemError |

Examples
This statement scrolls dw_employee forward one page:
dw_employee.ScrollNextPage()
