OBJECT.FILTER_GET Function

Syntax

Filter_Expression as C = .Filter_get()

Description

Returns the current filter for the layout.

Discussion

The <OBJECT>.FILTER_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>.FILTER_GET() method returns the current filter (a logical expression ) for the layout.

This example shows the state of the CustQueryReport form after a Query by Form operation on the Lastname field.

dim ptr as P
ptr = form.load("CustQueryReport")
ptr.show()
? ptr.filter_get()-> (LASTNAME > "b")

Limitations

Desktop applications only.
