hi,

in c:\fwh\source\classes\xbrowse.prg i found often "BookMark","bBookMark" and "SQLRDD_BookMark"
what are "Bookmark" for ... have no Idea :idea:

can somebody point me to a Sample where "BookMark" are used ... or is it only "internal" of XBROWSE :?:

For DBF, BookMark is RECNO()

For ADO BookMark is BookMark

etc.

oBrw:BookMark := n

is equivalent to ( oBrw:cAlias )-> GOTO( n ) for DBF

and

is equivalent to oBrw:oRs:BookMark := n for ADO

Same way

oBrw:KeyNo is same is OrdKeyNo() for DBF, AbsolutePosition of ADO, etc

XBrowse can handle many types of datasources, which use different methods, functions and datas.

We talk to XBrowse is one language and XBrowse talks to the underlying datasource in its corresponding language.

So, it is possible for use the same program code for different kinds of datasources, without changing even a single character in the source program. DBF,ADO,FWMySql,TMySql,Dolphin,PostGre, etc.
