Instead, storage mode uses a ComponentOne <a href="javascript:TL_1018977.HHClick()">XArrayDB</a> object as a data source. <a href="javascript:TL_1018978.HHClick()">XArrayDB</a>, which is included with True DBGrid Pro 8.0, is packaged as a separate file, XADB8.OCX. You must distribute this file along with your application if you use storage mode.</p> <p>To use storage mode, set the <a href="javascript:TL_1018979.HHClick()">DataMode</a> property of the grid to <strong>4 - Storage</strong> at design time. In code, redimension and populate an <a href="javascript:TL_1018980.HHClick()">XArrayDB</a> object with your data just as you would a Visual Basic array, then assign the <a href="javascript:TL_1018981.HHClick()">XArrayDB</a> object to the <a href="javascript:TL_1018982.HHClick()">Array</a> property of the grid. The data will then be maintained and exchanged between the grid and the <a href="javascript:TL_1018983.HHClick()">XArrayDB</a> object automatically. There are no unbound events to write, making this mode the easiest to use.</p> <p>Storage mode was created to deliver ease of use without sacrificing the power and flexibility that you expect from True DBGrid. When using this mode, the index of the first dimension of the <a href="javascript:TL_1018984.HHClick()">XArrayDB</a> object serves as a bookmark to uniquely identify rows. This means that all of the grid's bookmark-related properties, methods, and events (<a href="javascript:TL_1018985.HHClick()">Bookmark</a>, <a href="javascript:TL_1018986.HHClick()">FirstRow</a>, <a href="javascript:TL_1018987.HHClick()">GetBookmark</a>, <a href="javascript:TL_1018988.HHClick()">FetchCellStyle</a>, and others) work the same in storage mode as in any other <a href="javascript:TL_1018989.HHClick()">DataMode</a>, either bound or unbound.</p> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <div class="SectionHeading" id="seealsoSectionHeading"><span class="SectionHeadingIcon"><!-- --></span><span class="SectionHeadingText">See Also</span></div><div id="seealsoSectionContent" class="SectionContent"><div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="whentousestoragemode.html">When to Use Storage Mode</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="usingthexarraydbobject.html">Using the XArrayDB Object</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="interactionsbetweentruedbgridandxarraydb.html">Interactions between True DBGrid and XArrayDB</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="storagemodeexamples.html">Storage Mode Examples</a></div> </div> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
