OBJECT.CURSOR_GET Function

Syntax

Cursor_Position as N = .Cursor_get()

Description

Shows cursor information on browses and forms.

Discussion

The <OBJECT>.CURSOR_GET() method applies to:

Browses (for <OBJECT> use either the <BROWSE> pointer or the name of the browse)
Forms (for <OBJECT> use either the <FORM> pointer or the name of the form)

The <OBJECT>.CURSOR_GET() method returns the character position of the cursor. The cursor must be placed on a field of an open layout that is in change mode.

Example

The following example shows the location of the column and character position of the cursor on a browse.

dim ptr as P
ptr = browse.view("CustomerBrowse")
? ptr.Active_Drilldown()
= ":CustomerBrowse:Phone_Number"
? ptr.cursor_get()
= 177.000000

Limitations
