Converting Data Bound Grid Control Code To PowerBASIC Windows 10

[Frederick J. Harris]

     It appears  there are significant if not insurmountable obstacles to converting Visual Basic data bound grid control code (or the lack thereof) directly to PowerBASIC.  Let me explain this in detail, and the workarounds.  The key word in my first sentence above is 'directly'.

     Here is the issue.  One of the reasons Visual Basic was so popular was that it allowed for the first time novice programmers to accomplish really significant applications with almost no coding.  One of the best examples of that were data bound grid controls.  With these, a coder could drag a data control onto a Form, then a data bound grid control, and by just filling in a couple 'properties' in Visual Basic's 'Property Pane' such as the database path to connect to and the table desired, and with no code written at all create a usable app!  Such an app would then transparently accomplish the following ...

1) Open a database and table;
2) Determine schematics of table such as number rows, columns, column names, data types, etc;
3) Configure grid to accept this data;
4) Retrieve data from database table and populate grid;
5) Persist user edits/changes in grid back to database and table

The code to accomplish the above is not trivial.  And Visual Basic users did not have to deal with it.  It was taken care of transparently by Visual Basic.  Now it would stand to reason that since the components involved, i.e., data controls and data bound grid controls, are ActiveX Components with published interfaces, that it would be possible to translate this code on a line by line basis directly to PowerBASIC, because we have the capability in PowerBASIC to use ActiveX Controls.  The problem appears to be the connection or interface between the grid control which displays data and the data control which negotiates with the connected data source.  When using Visual Basic all one needs to do to make the connection is fill in the DataSource property of a grid control and it just works.  Allowable DataSource names would be the name of a data control on the user's Form.  But when looking at the interface names exported from a type library by either the PowerBASIC COM Browser or Jose Roca's TypeLib Browser, the Set DataSource method requires not a data control name but an IUnknown interface pointer.  And neither Jose Roca or myself have been able to provide any which work.  Worse, examining the *.idl file for these controls (Interface Definition Language) produced by OleView.exe indicates that the parameter is actually a DataSource*  (an interface pointer), and these are part of non-creatable COM objects.  And so far I've found no way to retrieve one and use it so as to make these things work.  So near but yet so far!  I've had no difficulty instantiating these objects with PowerBASIC; I just can't get them to speak to each other!  You've probably heard the old adage "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades!"

     So the bottom line is that if you have Visual Basic code using any of these things and you wish to convert it to PowerBASIC, you are going to have to perform my five steps above yourself.  Just like in the good old days before Visual Basic.  If you just want to display data and not persist it back to the data source then you can get by with just the top four. 

     Now this situation raises all kinds of questions if you wish to translate such code to PowerBASIC.  Let's take a look at my #1 above - "Open a database and table".  Well, now you are going to have to decide which database technology or Api you are going to use.  Any old VB code from before VB6 is going to be using ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) or more likely DAO (Data Access Objects).  RDO is even a remote possibility.  With VB6 we're probably talking DAO, ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) or ODBC.  So your choices in PowerBASIC are SQL Tools by Perfect Sync Software if you want to purchase an ODBC Api, make direct ODBC function calls yourself which is free, develop your own Class wrapper around the ODBC Api like I've done, or use the PowerBASIC COM Browser to create includes which will work with DAO or ADO which are COM technologies.  Also, Jose Roca has developed ODBC, ADO, and DAO wrappers which are excellent and are available here on this forum.  And when you've finally made this choice of which database Api to use, you are going to have to write the code yourself to extract your data out of the database.  PowerBASIC won't do it for you.

     Now let's consider my #3 above - "Configure grid to accept this data".  Well, which grid?  The data bound grids are out of the picture I believe.  Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they were designed specifically to accept their data from data controls, and we can't get these to work together as I've explained above.  That's why I'm writing this.  So you are going to have to come up with a grid control that you can use.  There are choices.  If you have the Professional or Enterprise Edition of Visual Basic 6 you have a license to use the MSFlexGrid ActiveX Control supplied with those editions.  I'll provide code here showing how to use this grid to accomplish my five steps above.  Jose Roca has already provided such code here and other places for every version of PowerBASIC since version 7, but I'll rehash that with an eye to conversions from Visual Basic and persisting edits back to the database.

     But the MSFlexGrid is rather old, dating all the way back to 1998 or so, and it is for sure your typical bloat ware Microsoft product, and to make matters worse there is some miserable licensing code to deal with as well as other dependencies.  So since you are going to have to deal with all this yourself from scratch, so to speak, you may wish to consider other grid controls, and there are a lot of choices.  Around 2003 I purchased a grid control from a PowerBASIC vendor named the SIGrid.  It really worked well for me, but I don't believe its available anymore.  At the present time I'm aware of two PowerBASIC Forum members who market grid controls, and that would be James Klutho and Elias Montoya.  Other PowerBASIC Forum members have provided grid code in the PowerBASIC Forums, and I've provided grid code here in Jose's Forum in both ActiveX Control and Custom Control form.  After I've shown several different techniques of using the MSFlexGrid in terms of my five steps above, I'll demonstrate accomplishing the same with my grid code.  And I'll use for an example connecting to some tables in the Biblio.mdb file supplied, I believe, with all versions of Visual Basic and likely Microsoft Access too.  And maybe we can get James Klutho and Elias Montoya to provide examples using their grids.

     The next issue to consider is include files.  In working with ActiveX Controls, for example the MSFlexGrid described above, its easier to use Jose Roca's include set.  What I've always done is create a \WinApiEx directory right under my PowerBASIC installation directory, and alongside the WinApi directory already there, and unpack Jose's includes to there.  Its possible to use the PowerBASIC includes but sometimes there's some tweaking involved.  You'll find that some interfaces and types haven't been defined, for example.  Nonetheless, I'll provide one example using the PowerBASIC includes.  If you aren't going to be using ActiveX Controls it likely won't matter.

     Another somewhat related issue is the one of ActiveX Control Containers.  If you use my ActiveX Grid Control you won't need one, or if you use a non-COM custom grid control you won't need one, but if you want to use Microsoft's MSFlexGrid Control you will definitely need one.  And there are realistically three choices there.   And I'll list these in no particular order of desirability.  You will have to make the choice.  First comes an ActiveX Control Container provided by Microsoft itself through an Active Template Library dll named Atl71.dll.  There are some functions exported from this dll that provide ActiveX Control containment.  What's that all about you ask? 

     When you put an ActiveX Control in the Visual Basic 'Toolbox' its actually loaded and running.  These controls have two modes - a design time mode and a runtime mode.   For example, when you place an ActiveX Control on your Visual Basic Form and use the resizing functionality of the IDE to drag the corners about to achieve the sizing you want, running code in the IDE is interacting with running code in the ActiveX Dll to make this all work.  So the point to take home from this is that these controls were largely designed to work within an IDE designed for graphical design such as Visual Basic.  It is for this reason that I'm throwing out the idea to you that if you are a new PowerBASIC user migrating away from Visual Basic then your interests might best be served by using other types of controls than ActiveX Controls.  There are substitutes for at least some of Visual Basic's ActiveX Controls.  As I've mentioned, grids are available elsewhere.  The MS Calendar Common Control can be substituted for MSCAL.OCX.  If the situation were such that you could make a line by line translation of Visual Basic code to PowerBASIC code, then I can see there is a good argument for using the same controls in PowerBASIC that exist in a Visual Basic Project.  But if there are no substitutes in PowerBASIC for various Visual Basic functionality, and a good deal of actual code must be written in PowerBASIC to achieve what Visual Basic was auto-generating 'behind the scenes', so to speak, then it seems to me to make sense to use different controls from those used in Visual Basic. 

     I almost forgot where I was at.  We were discussing ActiveX Control Containers.  In addition to the one provided by ATL there is Jose Roca's OLE Container Control.  The code is in OLECON.inc, and if you download Jose's Include file set you will have it.  I believe it all involves around 5000 lines of code Jose has written just in OLECON.inc.  Of course, that code relies on additional code in his includes. 

     And Dominic Mitchell has created an ActiveX Control Container as part of his Phoenix product.  As of yet I don't have that but I'm mentioning it because it is no doubt another very good alternative.   I intend to try it out soon myself.

     What I'm going to do here is show how I would translate Visual Basic Data Bound Grid Control code to PowerBASIC.  First I'll describe the Visual Basic code I'm translating, then show how to use the MSFlexGrid and my grid control to hold the data.  I'll try to provide examples using the PowerBASIC includes and Jose Roca's includes although most of my emphasis will be using Jose's includes.  Here is the Visual Basic 6 project I'll use for an example ...

1) Open Visual Basic 6  and create a new *.exe project.  You can leave the names of the default Form file and project file as Form1.frm and Project1.vbp;

2) Go to the Project Main Menu item and select 'Components'.  This will bring up the Components Dialog Box where you can add various ActiveX Controls to the project.  Add these two components to your Project1...     

Microsoft ADO Data Control 6.0 (SP6) (OLEDB)     C:\Windows\SysWow64\MSADODC.OCX
Microsoft DataGrid Control 6.0 (SP6) (OLEDB)        C:\Windows\SysWow64\MSDATGRD.OCX

There are check boxes to do that.  What that will do is add icons to these two ActiveX Controls to you VB 'Toolbox'.  Then drag instances of these to your Form1.  Align the ADO Data Control about 95% of the full width of Form1 at the bottom and use the rest of the space for the grid.  Make it nice and pretty.  While you are at it make the Form1 two or three times bigger;
 
3) Then go to the 'Properties" Window.  Select the ADO Data Control, and that will display the properties of the data control in that window.  The default name VB would have given the data control is Adodc1.  That's fine.  Click on the 'ConnectionString' property, and that will bring up a tabbed dialog where VB will guide you through creating a connection string.  Set the Provider to Microsoft Jet OLEDB 4.0 and set the database to the Biblio.mdb that ships with every edition of Visual Basic.  On my machines I always accept the default installation path, and its located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98.  Then set the 'CommandType' to 2 - adCmdTable.  That tells the data control its source within the database will be a plain ordinary table.

4) Next click on the data grid.  That will bring up its properties in the 'Properties' pane.  Find the all important 'DataSource' property.  Click on that and a drop down arrow will appear in the value field.  By this time VB is smart enough to realize a data control is on the form and when you click that drop down arrow you'll see Adodc1, which you can select.  Do that.  That's it!  Not one line of code written!  You can run this project and after several seconds you should see a form with a grid on it containing all the data from the Titles Table of Biblio.mdb.   I believe any edits you make will be automatically written back to Biblio.mdb.  So let's see what's involved in translating this to PowerBASIC.  We'll start real simple and basic at first.  For this example we'll just try to get a working MSFlexGrid ActiveX Control on a Form.  We'll just specify three columns named 'Column 1', 'Column 2', and 'Column 3'.  We'll use the PowerBASIC COM Browser from PBWin 10 to generate the MSFlexGrid interface includes, and we'll use the PowerBASIC Win Api includes installed by default with the PowerBASIC installation.  And we'll use Active Template Library (ATL) Control Containment.  So you'll need preferably Atl71.dll to be somewhere in your path.  I'm not sure exactly where you'll get that file if you don't have it.  I can email it to you if you are having difficulties locating it.  Also, before getting ahead of myself, let me state that you need to be a licensed user of Visual Basic 6 Professional or Enterprise Edition and that needs to be installed.

     Which brings up another nasty issue.  The MSFlexGrid.OCX ActiveX Control is what is known as a licensed control.  If you have either of those editions of Visual Basic I mentioned above you are a licensed user of that control.  The way Microsoft has this all set up is tricky in the usual Microsoft fashion.  The computer on which either of those versions is installed has what is known as a 'Machine License'.  When such a machine is used to code a project using the MSFlexGrid, if you aren't using Visual Basic but PowerBASIC, C++, or something else, you need to use object creation code that includes the Runtime License for the control, or when the executable is run on a different machine without a 'Machine License', the MSFlexGrid won't instantiate, even if it has been satisfactorily registered with RegSvr32.  I suppose this is to prevent another developer from getting a 'free' copy of the control from an install of an app and using it like he/she paid for it.  When you use Jose Roca's TypeLib Browser to generate includes for ActiveX Controls, there is an option to generate the license code and include it in the file.  I don't believe the PowerBASIC COM Browser has that option, so here is a little utility you can use to get your license code.   Ohhh!  But there's a catch!  While we can avoid using Jose's TypeLib Browser to get the license, and we can avoid using his OleCon.inc ActiveX Control Container, we still can't leave Jose out of the picture (not that we would want to - I'm just trying to illustrate the pure stock PB way of doing it), for the code below requires the definition of the IClassFactory2 Interface, and unless you want to translate it from the IDL (Interface Definition Language) file yourself, you'll need Jose's includes to run this program!   ...

Code: [Select]


#Compile Exe
#Dim All
#Include "Windows.inc"
#Include Once "Ocidl.inc"
$CLSID_MSFlexGrid = GUID$("{6262D3A0-531B-11CF-91F6-C2863C385E30}")
Declare Function DllGetClassObjectImpl(Byref Clsid As Guid, Byref iid As Guid, Byref pCF As IUnknown) As Long

Function PBMain() As Long
  Local pClassFactory As IClassFactory2
  Local pDllGetClassObject As Dword
  Local strLicense As WString
  Local lic as LICINFO
  Local hDll As Dword
  Local hr As Long

  hDll=LoadLibrary("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSFlxGrd.ocx")
  If hDll Then
     pDllGetClassObject=GetProcAddress(hDll,"DllGetClassObject")
     If pDllGetClassObject Then
        Call Dword pDllGetClassObject Using DllGetClassObjectImpl($CLSID_MSFlexGrid, $IID_IClassFactory2, pClassFactory) To hr
        If SUCCEEDED(hr) Then
           hr=pClassFactory.GetLicInfo(lic)
           If SUCCEEDED(hr) Then
              If lic.fRuntimeKeyAvail And lic.fLicVerified Then
                 hr=pClassFactory.RequestLicKey(0, strLicense)
                 If SUCCEEDED(hr) Then
                    Con.Print "strLicense = " strLicense
                 End If
              End If
           End If
           Set pClassFactory = Nothing
        End If
     End If
     Call FreeLibrary(hDll)
  End If
  Con.Waitkey$

  PBMain=0
End Function

And its a Console Compiler 6 program.  If you don't have the Console Compiler print the outputs to a text file, e.g., Print #1, "strLicense = " strLicense.  Here is the output on my computer ...

strLicense = 72E67120-5959-11cf-91F6-C2863C385E30

So if you just output it to a Message Box you are going to have to copy that correctly without mistakes.  Its a GUID. 

Next step is to open the PowerBASIC COM Browser and look for "Microsoft FlexGrid Control 6.0".  Double click on that and the interface definitions will be created for you.  Just a warning!  With mine I had to change about a half dozen items, specifically, there was a method parameter named data that conflicted with a PowerBASIC reserved word, and several instances of the same problem with a 'Shift' keyword.  I changed them like so ...
 
Data      Changed To GridData
Shift      Changed to  iShift

I'll provide my include below, but if you generate yours from the PowerBASIC COM Browser you might run into those minor difficulties.  If you are new to PowerBASIC and are not familiar with such issues then I suppose the problem isn't minor to you.  Without further ado, here is MSFlexGrid1.bas ...

I don't consider the above to be an exceedingly large Win32 Api SDK style program for creating something as sophisticated as an ActiveX Grid Control.  But we haven't looked at the Auto-Generated MSFlexGrid.inc file yet mostly generated by the PowerBASIC COM Browser.  That's a good bit bigger, but simply because the MSFlexGrid has a lot of methods in its interfaces ...

     To get the above program working for you all you need to do - so far as I know, is use your license key on your 'Machine Licensed' Workstation instead of mine up in fnWndProc_OnCreate(), have the MSFlxGrd.OCX ActiveX Control registered on your system, and have Atl71.dll somewhere in your path.  If you've done that, I expect an executable produced by you should be able to be run on another machine if MSFlxGrd is copied and registered there.  Here would be the dependencies for the above program ...

Code: [Select]

MSFlexGrid1.exe     22 K
Atl71.dll           87 K
MSFlxGrd.ocx       255 K
========================
                   364 K


[Frederick J. Harris]

... continued...

     In terms of alterations made by me to the include file above, other than the 'data' and Shift' reserved keyword issue previously mentioned, I added a MsgBox to the KepPress() and DblClick() Event Procedures so you can see that they are working.

     The last thing I'll mention about the above code is that there are three declares up top.  These are for Atl71.dll.  I changed an argument in AtlAxCreateControlLic().  Its the 3rd one.  That's actually supposed to be 'pStream As IStream', not pStream As IUnknown.  But I wanted this to work with the PowerBASIC includes and the IStream interface isn't defined there.  The argument can be left NULL in the function if it isn't used, so changing it from IStream to IUnknown was workable in this instance.  Like with the IClassFactory2 interface, it is correctly defined in Jose Roca's includes.  Which is our next stop!

     This next version of the above program is exactly the same as the last in terms of what it looks like at runtime, but its coding is considerably different.  Jose Roca coded an Active X Control Container in PowerBASIC implemented in "OleCon.inc".  With this, you won't need Atl71.dll or the declares for those functions.  Download Jose's extended include file set and you'll have it.  I include the files in a directory next to my PowerBASIC installation's WinApi directory, and I name the directory the files are in WinApiEx.  In the PowerBASIC IDE go to ...

Window >>>> Options ...

...and when the tabbed dialog comes up click on the 'Compiler' tab.  Delete the directory there and use the choose folder dialog to highlight the folder in which you unpacked Jose's includes.  Then you are ready to go.  You can easily undo this when you want to return to the PowerBASIC includes.   With Jose's coding, you can forego all those strange Atl functions, and simply create the control with a call to CreateWindowEx() ...

Specifically, in fnWndProc_OnCreate(), this creates the ActiveX Control ...

Code: [Select]

hCtl=CreateWindowEx _
( _
  0, _
  $OC_ClassNAME, _
  "MSFlexGridLib.MSFlexGrid;RTLKEY:72E67120-5959-11cf-91F6-C2863C385E30", _

  10, _
  280, _
  250, _
  Wea.hWnd, _
  %ID_CONTAINER, _
  Wea.hInst, _
  Byval %NULL _
)

The 2nd parameter of the call is the string equate $OC_ClassName, which is defined in OleCon.inc.  The 3rd parameter ...

"MSFlexGridLib.MSFlexGrid;RTLKEY:72E67120-5959-11cf-91F6-C2863C385E30",

...is a string which Jose parses in the WM_CREATE handler of the Container Control based on the ';' character.  The 1st substring, i.e., the left one, is the Program ID for the MSFlexGrid.  The 2nd sub-string, i.e., "RTLKEY:72E67120-5959-11cf-91F6-C2863C385E30", is my Run Time License Key.  You will need yours as I previously discussed.  The dependency and size information for the above binary package is as follows ...

Code: [Select]

MSFlexGrid2.exe     64 K
MSFlxGrd.ocx       255 K
========================
                   319 K

So we have 319 K in two files as opposed to 364 K in three files with the Atl approach.  But we can even do better - at least size wise.  The last grid I will show you is my own - FHGrid9.dll.  It is posted here at ...

http://www.jose.it-berater.org/smfforum/index.php?topic=4642.0

Its also a COM based dll, but its considerably different from MSFlxGrd.ocx.  Its only 22 K and doesn't require an Active X Control Container.  You can use native PowerBASIC COM calls to instantiate it, i.e., NewCom.  Here is the above program but using my grid ...

     Believe it or not, that's it.  You can use either the PowerBASIC COM Browser or Jose's Type Lib Browser if you want to generate includes for it, but the interface definitions for the incoming and outgoing interfaces are inline just above.  You don't need an Active X Control Container to instantiate the grid, and you can just use PowerBASIC's NewCom.  And it can be compiled exactly 'as is' using either the PowerBASIC includes or Jose's.  Other than compiling the above code, all you need to do to get this working is download my FHGrid9.dll and register it with Windows like so ...

C:\Your_Project_Directory\>RegSvr32.exe FHGrid9.dll

That will add Registry entries to allow the COM subsystem of Windows to load it.  Alternately, you can do Registry Free COM work by just including the dll in your project directory and using PowerBASIC's NewCom syntax to load the file directory.  See NewCom in Help.  You might be interested in the file sizes...

Code: [Select]

FHGrid1.exe    16 K
FHGrid9.dll    22 K
===================
               38 K

Those would be using the PowerBASIC includes.  Using Jose's the host is a couple K larger.  Here's what you end up with if you put an MSFlxGrd.ocx on a Visual Basic 6 Form, configure it as above, and make a setup project out of it ...

Code: [Select]

MSFlexGrid2.cab   1421 K
Setup.exe          137 K
Setup.lst            4 K
========================
                  1562 K

So using my grid and the program above its 41 times smaller than the VB6 counterpart!  Moving on, lets add code to all three of these programs I've presented so far to complete the rest of the job though.  And the rest of the job is to load the Titles Table from Biblio.mdb and have the program automatically persist changes/edits back to the database.  I'll work backwards from here and we'll start with the program just above using my grid, then we'll try to tackle the MSFlexGrid cases.  Here again is the list of necessary steps to complete from the beginning of this tutorial ...

1) Open a database and table;
2) Determine schematics of table such as number rows, columns, column names, data types, etc;
3) Configure grid to accept this data;
4) Retrieve data from database table and populate grid;
5) Persist user edits/changes in grid back to database and table.

And just below is the modified FHGrid1.bas from just above, with the necessary changes to accomplish this.  It can be compiled with either PowerBASIC's or Jose's includes.  I'll discusss it in detail afterwards...

[Frederick J. Harris]

So there you have a full working PowerBASIC program that does, to the best of my knowledge, everything my original Visual Basic 6 program does as first described with an ADO Data Control feeding into a Data Bound Grid Control connecting to the Titles Table of Biblio.mdb.  If compiled with the PowerBASIC includes in a Release Build, i.e., %Debug not defined, it compiles to 36864 bytes.  With Jose's includes it comes to 40,960 bytes.  If we add the 22,016 of the grid dll we have 58,880 bytes or 58 K.  Comparing that to the Visual Basic 6 project with the ADO Data Control and the Data Bound Grid we have this...

Code: [Select]

DataGrid.cab   9457 K
Setup.exe       137 K
Setup.lst         4 K
=====================
               9598 K

Almost 10 Megabytes.  Dividing it out the PowerBASIC critter is 165 times smaller!  OK, lets get to the details.

     For database access I just used my own simple ODBC wrapper class.  Its primary purpose is to hide the nastiness of SQLDriverConnect(), which can get ugly.  In fnWndProc_OnCreate(), which is VB's Form_Load(), you'll see the code to open the Titles Table of Biblio.mdb.  I used equates there ($DB_PATH and $DB_DRIVER), but it amounts to this...

Code: [Select]

Local pSql As ISql

pSql           =  Class "CSql"
pSql.strDBQ    =  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Biblio.mdb"
pSql.strDriver =  "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"
Call pSql.ODBCConnect()
If pSql.blnConnected Then
   ...
   ... do whatever...

   pSql.ODBCDisconnect()
End If
[CODE]

...anytime you want to read/write database data.  Within the enclosing If in fnWndProc_OnCreate() you'll see a call to blnGetRecordCount(pSql, iRecordCount) which code determines the count of records in the Titles Table, which is around 8600.  Then you'll note I multiply iRecordCount by 1.01.  Reason I did that was to configure the grid to hold an additional 86 rows if somebody is inclined to add more books.  That's how I deal with 'AddNew' functionality.  Quick and dirty I admit.  Now the next several lines of code is definitely going to require some explanation from me!

[CODE]
hHeap = GetProcessHeap()
pEditFlags = HeapAlloc(hHeap, %HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, sizeof(EditFlags))
If pEditFlags Then
    @pEditFlags.iRecords = iRecordCount
    @pEditFlags.pEdits   = HeapAlloc(hHeap, %HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, iRecordCount+1)
    ...
    ...

The situation is this.  You've got a grid full of data in row x column format and you've got to track what the user does to the data.  And how in the world would you do that?  Well, look up in my CGridEvents Class.  There are Grid_OnKeyPress() and Grid_OnKeyDown() Event Procedures that fire every time the user presses a key while focus is in a grid cell.  And the row and column of the cell where this occurred is transferred through the parameters!  So that's the key.  So a flag, i.e., a Boolean true/false setup, is going to have to be created to track all this.  Except there's going to be more than one scalar true/false value.  The Titles Table has about 8700 rows and each row comprises 8 columns or fields.  Multiplying that out comes to 68800 Boolean flags!  So one way of doing it would be to create a two dimensional byte array with 8700 rows and 8 columns.  The overhead of doing that would be about 68 K.  Another related issue is the scope of the array.  Any changes a user makes to the data, which would set one of these flags, must persist through the lifetime of the program run.  This suggests global or static storage.  However, I prefer to make life interesting and tackle challenges, and I don't want life to become too easy, so I never use global variables.  Have you noticed there haven't been any in any of the programs I've posted so far?

     So here's what I do.   I don't use byte variables to track each field or column in the grid.  I just use bits.  The Titles Table has 8 fields or columns, so that works out good to just allocate a byte for each row, and set the bit within the byte corresponding to each column.  When the Titles Table is Opened by blnGetRecordCount() and the iRecordCount parameter is initialized to the count of records in the table which actually looks to be 8569, then I do two separate memory allocations with HeapAlloc().  First, I allocate one of these in fnWndProc_OnCreate() …

Code: [Select]

Type EditFlags
  iRecords                As Long
  pEdits                  As Byte Ptr
End Type

You’ll find that Type near the top of FHGrid2.bas.  Since it contains two elements each of which occupies four bytes on a 32 bit operating system, the whole thing is just eighy bytes in size.  So this function call…

Code: [Select]

Local pEditFlags As EditFlags Ptr
pEditFlags = HeapAlloc(hHeap, %HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, sizeof(EditFlags))

…will return to me in pEditFlags the starting address of an 8 byte block of memory where those two variables will live for the duration of a program run.  I store that address in the 2nd four byte ‘slot’ in the WNDCLASSEX::cbWndExtra bytes of Window Class memory for the “Test My Grid” Window Class (Registered in WinMain())….

Code: [Select]

SetWindowLong(Wea.hWnd, 4, pEditFlags)

That memory is released in fnWndProc_OnDestroy(), which is about equivalent to Form_Unload() in old VB6. But next in fnWndProc_OnCreate I do this …

Code: [Select]

@pEditFlags.iRecords = iRecordCount
@pEditFlags.pEdits   = HeapAlloc(hHeap, %HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, iRecordCount+1)

I store the number of records or rows that will be allocated in the grid at @pEditFlags.iRecords, and that is something like that 8600 – 8700 number.  Then for …

Code: [Select]

@pEditFlags.pEdits  = HeapAlloc(hHeap, %HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, iRecordCount + 1)

…I do another HeapAlloc() call to get a pointer to another block of memory containing 8600 – 8700 or so bytes – one byte for each row of the grid.  I allocate one more than I need so I can use 1 based indexing instead of zero based indexing.  So I’m wasting one byte!  The grid returns one based index info in those KeyPress()/KeyDown() event procedures.  And related closely to all this is the KeyPress() Event proceure itself in Class CgridEvents…

Code: [Select]

Class CGridEvents  As Event
  Instance hMain As Dword

  Class Method Create()
    hMain=FindWindow("Test My Grid","Test My Grid")
  End Method

  Interface IGridEvents $IID_IGridEvents : Inherit IAutomation
    Method Grid_OnKeyPress(Byval iKeyCode As Long, Byval iKeyData As Long, Byval iRow As Long, Byval iCol As Long, Byref blnCancel As Long)
      Local pEditFlags As EditFlags Ptr
      pEditFlags=GetWindowLong(hMain,4)
      If pEditFlags And @pEditFlags.pEdits Then
         @pEditFlags.@pEdits[iRow] = @pEditFlags.@pEdits[iRow] Or 2^(iCol-1)
      End If
    End Method     
    …
    …
  End Interface
End Class

Let me explain what’s taking place there.  In fnWndProc_OnCreate() we have this variable declaration…

Code: [Select]

Local pSink As IGridEvents

…and later on down when we set up the event sink, we have this…

Code: [Select]

pSink = Class "CGridEvents"
Events From pGrid Call pSink

     Don’t get put off by the terminology.  In the COM documentation code which gets called from within a COM object is sometimes referred to as a ‘sink’, i.e., the code is ‘sinking’ the events fired off by the COM object as the user interacts with it. 

     And when the CGridEvents Class is instantiated its Create() Method, i.e., its ‘Constructor’ in OOP (Object Oriented Programming) speak, is called.  And looking in ‘Class Method Create()’ above what you can see getting done is a call to the Windows Api function FindWindow(), where its looking for a window of Class “Test My Grid” which has “Test My Grid” for its caption.  Its storing the Window Handle of the Window it finds in its single Instance variable hMain.  That number, whatever it is, will persist for the lifetime of the app’s run in that Instance variable.  It will be there when the user interacts with the grid data by pressing a key to modify an existing record, or add a new one.  When that happens I access our stored byte array allocated in fnWndProc_OnCreate(), and I set the zero based bit corresponding to the col parameter passed in from the grid…

Code: [Select]

Local pEditFlags As EditFlags Ptr
pEditFlags=GetWindowLong(hMain,4)
If pEditFlags And @pEditFlags.pEdits Then
   @pEditFlags.@pEdits[iRow] = @pEditFlags.@pEdits[iRow] Or 2^(iCol-1)
End If

     Of course, the iRow parameter will index us into the correct byte offset from the initial pEditFlags memory allocation.  And we’ll ‘Or’ that bit into place using the expression …

Code: [Select]

@pEditFlags.@pEdits[iRow] Or 2^(iCol-1)

     If the first column is edited for example, iCol will come in equaling 1.  1 – 1 equals zero, so 2 or any number for that matter raised to the zeroth power equals 1.  So the zeroth zero based bit will be set to 1, informing the program that the 1st field of the iRow record has been edited.  So on and so forth for all the other bits.  If a new record is entered at the end of the grid data and all eight fields/columns are filled in, that byte will end up with an arithmetic value of 255, i.e.,

Code: [Select]

1  X  2 ^ 0  =      1
1  X  2 ^ 1  =      2
1  X  2 ^ 2  =      4
1  X  2 ^ 3  =      8
1  X  2 ^ 4  =     16
1  X  2 ^ 5  =     32
1  X  2 ^ 6  =     64
1  X  2 ^ 7  =    128
=====================
                  255

     I might point out there are other ways of going about this that are in some ways simpler.  For example, one might simply allocate iRecordCount + 1 Word variables, and store the iRecordCount number at offset zero something like this …

Code: [Select]

Local pEdits As Word Ptr
PEdits = HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), %HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, (iRecordCount + 1) * Sizeof(Word))

     That way you would be able to do away with the EditFlags Type.  Only thing is it would use double the memory needed, and would be wasting bits 8 through 15 of every Word because we only have 8 columns.  But we can’t use bytes and store 8659 at @pEdit[0] if we’re accessing bytes because 8659 won’t store in a byte.  That’s why I used a UDT (User Defined Type) that contained a Long member to store big numbers, and a Byte Pointer member to just store column information where the iCol returned will never exceed 8.  Verstehen Sie?

     About the last thing I might mention in fnWndProc_OnCreate() is how the grid was created.  As I mentioned, we can just use PowerBASIC’s NewCom statement, and all the information needed to configure the grid is contained in the FHGrid9::CreateGrid() call..

Code: [Select]

pGrid = NewCom "FHGrid9.Grid"
…
…
strSetup= _
"300:Title:^:edit," & _
"200:Year Published:^:edit," & _
"150:ISBN:^:edit," & _
"90:PubID:^:edit," & _
"200:Description:^:edit," & _
"90:Notes:^:edit," & _
"100:Subject:^:edit," & _
"110:Comments:^:edit"
pGrid.CreateGrid(Wea.hWnd,strSetup,10,10,850,500,iRecordCount,8,20,0,0,"Times New Roman",12,%FW_LIGHT)

     The column information is a comma delimited string, and each sub-string between the commas is further delimited into sub-strings with the ‘:’ character.  For example, column 1 is 300 pixels wide, the caption is “Title”, it is centered in the column label, i.e., ‘^’, and an edit control is used for the cell (the only other choice at this time for my grid is a combo box).  You can look at the CreateGrid() method in the interface definition to see what all the parameters are.  Otherwise, I’ve added comments to the code here and there explaining things you might be unfamiliar with.

     But I want to discuss deletion a bit.  The way it works in my grid is that it has built into it a concept known as selection.  When you click any of the buttons along the left side of each row it highlights the whole row.  In other words, it selects that row.  Clicking on that button again deselects it.  But while a row is selected, if you hit your [DELETE] key, a Grid_OnDelete(Byval iRow As Long) message is fired at the client’s sink.  But that won’t cause the row to be deleted.  I didn’t want to make it all that automatic, for a foresaw usages in applications where deletions wouldn’t be allowed or needed.  So what has to happen in Grid_OnDelete() if you want to indeed delete that row is to call IGrid::DeleteRow(Byval iRow As Long), passing in the same iRow parameter as the one passed into the event procedure.  But you must realize that doing that will only delete the data the grid is storing for that row – it won’t delete the data in the underlying data source.  For that you’ll need to write additional code.  If the underlying data is from a relational database supporting SQL, then you’ll need to execute a DELETE FROM statement.

     I’ve explained above how I use bits in byte variables to track user edits to data in the grids, and how I create an array of these bytes synchronized with the rows of grid data.  But deletions could desynchronize the alignment of bytes with the rows they are to track.  So in the deletion code quite early on I call UpdateDatabase() to take care of and clean up any updates or insertions the user might have made.  After that a DELETE FROM query is executed to delete the data from the database, and one of the last calls in Grid_OnDelete() is the pGrid.DeleteRow(iRow) call which removes the data from the grid for that row.

[Frederick J. Harris]

     I’ll move on to the MSFlexGrid now.  That defeated me with deletions, so the code I’ll present works fine for updates and insertions, but in the couple hours I threw at deletions I failed.  Perhaps you’ll have more luck.  I suppose part of the problem is that with my grid I wrote it myself and have full knowledge of how it works.  Some of the behaviors of the MSFlexGrid just mystify me even though I’ve used it a fair amount in both Visual Basic and PowerBASIC.  For one thing, those little buttons to the left of each row aren’t enabled like in my grid.  At least, they don’t respond in any way to clicks.  And when I try to select a row, the 1st cell to the right of the button doesn’t select.  I’ve no idea why not.  Another thing about the MSFlxGrd is that the event procedures mostly have few or no parameters.  Here is the KeyPress() event proc from my grid …

Code: [Select]

Method Grid_OnKeyPress(Byval iKeyCode As Long, Byval iKeyData As Long, Byval iRow As Long, Byval iCol As Long, Byref blnCancel As Long)

And here it is from the MSFlxGrd…

Code: [Select]

Method KeyPress <-603> (Byref KeyAscii As Integer)   

So when a KeyPress() comes in, you’ve got to call dispinterface methods on the IGrid interface to retrieve the row and column where the keypress occurred.  And even more miserably, when the user sets focus to a cell and attempts to type something in, the default behavior of the grid is to do nothing.  At least as far as I know.  Unless there is some setting to cause the text to show up.  What I’ve always done going all the way back to my VB days in the late 90s was to execute code like so for each keypress …

Code: [Select]

Method KeyPress <-603> (Byref KeyAscii As Integer)
