BBjDataAwareGrid::setShowUpdateMessage

Description

Sets whether to display a confirm update dialog box after a change is made in the BBjDataAwareGrid.

Syntax

Return Value

Method

void

setShowUpdateMessage(intshow)

Parameters

Variable

Description

show

Specifies whether to display a confirm update dialog box.

0 = No Update Message

1 = Update Message

Return Value

None.

Remarks

When set to show the update message, once a user has edited one or more cells in a row and focus on the row is lost, a dialog box will appear asking the user to confirm if they want the data to be updated. If the user cancels, then changes to the row will be lost. If the user confirms, then changes will be saved to the data file.

By default, this option is not set. When the option is not set the grid will automatically save changes to the data file when focus is lost on the edited row. The text used for the message can be changed using setUpdateMessage().
