SUMMARY
The Microsoft DataCombo control (Msdatlst.ocx) cannot directly use Microsoft Visual FoxPro tables as a data source. The DataCombo control can, however, be bound to an ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) recordset. This article illustrates how to bind a DataCombo ActiveX control to an ADO recordset from within a Visual FoxPro application.
The code in this article requires installation of Microsoft Visual Studio Service Pack 3.
MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: The Microsoft DataCombo control has not been tested with and is not supported by Microsoft Visual FoxPro.
In order to bind a DataCombo ActiveX control to an ADO recordset, a recordset that can be bookmarked or a client-side ADO recordset must first be created. After this ADO recordset has been created, the DataCombo.BoundColumn, DataCombo.ListField, and DataCombo.RowSource properties are used to bind the control with the ADO recordset, as follows:
WITH THISFORM.DataCombo1 .BOUNDCOLUMN = myrs.FIELDS(0).NAME && Source Field being bound to .ListField = myrs.FIELDS(0).NAME && Source Display Field .ROWSOURCE = myrs && Source Recordset ENDWITH
Create a program file named DataCombo.prg using the following code:
oX = CREATEOBJECT('MYFORM') oX.SHOW() READ EVENTS DEFINE CLASS myform AS FORM CAPTION = "DataCombo Control Form" HEIGHT = 250 LEFT = 0 TOP = 0 WIDTH = 375 NAME = "myform" ADD OBJECT DataCombo1 AS OLECONTROL WITH ; OLECLASS = "MSDataListLib.DataCombo.1",; TOP = 25, ; LEFT = 25, ; HEIGHT = 22, ; WIDTH = 175, ; NAME = "DataCombo1" ADD OBJECT textBox1 AS TEXTBOX WITH ; TOP = 65, ; LEFT = 25, ; HEIGHT = 25, ; WIDTH = 150, ; NAME = "textBox1", ; CONTROLSOURCE = "demo.cCustName" ADD OBJECT commandButton2 AS COMMANDBUTTON WITH ; TOP = 225, ; LEFT = 275, ; HEIGHT = 25, ; CAPTION = "\<Close", ; NAME = "commandButton2" PROCEDURE LOAD #DEFINE adUseClient 3 #DEFINE adLockOptimistic 3 WITH THIS *!* Create an ADO Connection to the FoxPro Samples .ADDPROPERTY("oConn") .oConn = CREATEOBJECT("ADODB.CONNECTION") *!* Need a Client Side Cursor for this .oConn.CursorLocation = adUseClient *!* Open the data source - make sure the Samples directory is correctly *!* set in Tools:Options:File Locations .oConn.OPEN("DRIVER=Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver;" + ; "SourceType=DBC;SourceDB=" + HOME(2) + "DATA\TESTDATA.DBC;" + ; "Exclusive=NO;BackGroundFetch=NO;NULL=NO;Collate=MACHINE") *!* Create an ADO Recordset to be used as the datasource for the DataCombo control .ADDPROPERTY("oRS") .oRS = CREATEOBJECT("ADODB.RECORDSET") *!* Set the connection property of the recordset .oRS.ActiveConnection = THISFORM.oConn *!* The recordset inherits the cursorlocation of the connection .oRS.LockType = adLockOptimistic .oRS.OPEN("SELECT contact FROM CUSTOMER",,,, 1) ENDWITH IF !FILE('demo.dbf') CREATE TABLE demo (cCustName c(30)) APPEND BLANK ENDIF IF !USED('demo') USE demo ENDIF ENDPROC PROCEDURE INIT LOCAL loField *!* Set properties for the DataCombo control WITH THIS.DataCombo1 loField = THISFORM.oRS.FIELDS(0) .TEXT = loField.VALUE && Display value .BOUNDCOLUMN = loField.NAME && Source Field being bound to .ListField = loField.NAME && Source Display Field .ROWSOURCE = THISFORM.oRS && Source Recordset ENDWITH ENDPROC PROCEDURE DataCombo1.DBLCLICK LPARAMETERS area SELECT demo IF RECCOUNT() = 0 INSERT INTO demo VALUES (THIS.TEXT) ELSE UPDATE demo SET cCustName = THIS.TEXT ENDIF THISFORM.REFRESH ENDPROC PROCEDURE commandButton2.CLICK THISFORM.RELEASE ENDPROC PROCEDURE UNLOAD WITH THIS .oRS.CLOSE .oConn.CLOSE .oRS = .NULL. .oConn = .NULL. ENDWITH CLOSE TABLES ALL CLEAR EVENTS ENDPROC ENDDEFINE
- Save and run DataCombo.prg.
- Click on the DataCombo control to expand the drop-down box.
- Double-click the DataCombo control and note that the text box value has been set to the value displayed in the DataCombo control.
