Syntax

<Table control>.InsertLine([<Subscript> [, <Element column 1> [... [, <Element column N>]]]])

<Table control>: Control name

Name of control to use. This control can correspond to:
a Table control.
a TreeView Table control.

<Subscript>: Optional integer

Subscript of row into which the elements will be inserted. The subscript of first row is set to 1.
Subscript not specified The row is inserted before the current row. If no row is selected, the row is inserted at the end of control.
Subscript greater than the number of control rows The row is inserted at the end of control.
Subscript equal to 0 The row is inserted at the beginning of control.
Subscript equal to -1 The row is inserted before the current row.

<Element column 1>: Type of associated column (optional)

First row elements that will be inserted into the specified control. Each element corresponds to a control column. The type of inserted element must be compatible with the type of relevant column.
If none of these parameters is specified, an empty row is added into the control. For a browsing control, the default values defined in the linked data file are taken into account.

<Element column N>: Type of associated column (optional)

Nth row elements that will be inserted into the specified control. Each element corresponds to a control column. The type of inserted element must be compatible with the type of relevant column.
If none of these parameters is specified, an empty row is added into the control. For a browsing control, the default values defined in the linked data file are taken into account.

Remarks

<Table>.InsertLine can be used on:

a browsing or memory control,
a single-selection or multiselection control.

The TreeView Table control is not available.

The browsing Table controls are not available in edit. <Table>.InsertLine cannot be used on a browsing Table control.

Characteristics of row elements

To specify no value for one of the elements, use an empty string ("") or 0 (depending on the type of column).
If an element corresponds to the calculation result, the numeric expression must be enclosed in brackets. For example:

TABLE_CalcTable.InsertLine(3, (53+29), (83-21))

Position of inserted row

By default, the row is inserted at the specified position.

Special cases:

If the control is sorted by <Table>.Sort, the inserted row is positioned in the control according to the current sort (and not according to the specified subscript).
If the control is sorted by the user, the sort is ignored when inserting the row. The row is inserted at the specified position.

Limits: Maximum number of rows displayed

The maximum number of rows that can be displayed in a Table or TreeView Table control is limited by the amount of available memory (theoretical maximum: 2 billion rows).

However, we do not advise you to use large Table or TreeView Table controls for performance and user-friendliness reasons (time required to fill the control for example).

Browsing Table or TreeView Table control: Modifications in the linked data file

If the cascading input is enabled, the content of data file linked to the control is automatically modified when the user goes to the next row.

If the cascading input is not enabled, the content of data file linked to the control is not modified. To write the content of inserted row into the data file, <Table>.Save must be called after <Table>.InsertLine.

Remarks:

The "Cascading input (Addition)" option can be selected in the "Details" tab of the control description.

Browsing Table or TreeView Table control: Inserting several rows

A virtual row is created in the control whenever <Table>.InsertLine is called in a browsing Table or TreeView Table control. The information will be saved in the data file during the call to <Table>.Save.

If <Table>.InsertLine is successively called in the same process without being followed by <Table>.Save, only the FIRST call is effective (the following calls are ignored). A single row is added into the browsing Table or TreeView Table control.

Editable Table or TreeView Table control

If <Table>.InsertLine is called:

In a control event, the cursor is automatically positioned on the first column to edit in the inserted row.
In an event that does not belong to the control, (or in another process) ReturnToCapture must be used to resume the input in the Table or TreeView Table control.

Inserting an image

To insert an image into a Table or TreeView Table control:

Remark: The column must be an Image column otherwise the inserted image will not be displayed properly.
