how to get data into a cursor from grid in foxpro?

how to get data into a cursor from grid in foxpro?

how to get data into a cursor from grid in foxpro?

(OP)
I have a grid as Grid1 and the columns are as below.

CODE --> 

Stylecode     OrderQty     ReceiveQty
CD123         100          75
NHG345        125          125
JK87          500          200

Now I want to do something like this. When I'm selecting a row from my grid I want to take that row data into a cursor. As an example if I select 1st Row I want to get Stylecode, OrderQty, ReceiveQty into a cursor as below.

CODE --> 

Stylecode     OrderQty     ReceiveQty
CD123         100          75

How can I do this?

Thank you

RE: how to get data into a cursor from grid in foxpro?

That could perhaps be done with a method on the OnRowColChange event.
In the snippet below I'm copying the data to a temporary table (sited in the folder
specified in m.Tempdir such as c:\temp\myapp\) but you could use a SQL statement to
put it into a cursor instead.

CODE

IF USED("myCursor")
	SELECT myCursor
	USE
ENDIF
SELECT myTable
COPY TO (m.TempDir+"myCursor") NEXT 1
SELECT 0
USE (m.TempDir+"myCursor")
SELECT myTable

RE: how to get data into a cursor from grid in foxpro?

CODE --> 

Local lnRecno
lnRecno=Recno()
SELECT * FROM (Thisform.Grid1.Recordsource) WHERE RECNO() = lnRecno

Which assumes the Grid1 is a) directly on the form and b) has an alias as recordsourcetype.

If the grid recordsourcetype is something different, please describe what it is.

I do have one question, though. What is the goal of having that row in a separate cursor? You can always access the current row just by field names, I seeno need for a separate cursor.

You can also use SCATTER or SCATTER TO NAME to put the values of the current records into variables or a single object variable, which will have Stylecode, OrderQty, and ReceiveQty as properties. And such an object or single variables can be passed on to a second form, even if it has its own private data session. Besides, you could also just pass on the RECNO().
