Syntax
<Result> = HActivateAutoFilter(<Browse data file> , <Data file to filter>)
<Result>: Boolean
  • True if the filter is enabled,
  • False if an error occurred (file or item not found).
<Browse data file>: Character string
Name of the data file used for the browse.
This parameter can correspond to "*". In this case, all the possible automatic filters will be enabled.
If <Browse data file> and <Data file to filter> correspond to "*", <Result> is set to True and no filter is enabled.
<Data file to filter>: Character string
Name of the data file to filter when positioned in the browse data file.
This parameter can correspond to "*". In this case, all the possible automatic filters will be enabled.
If <Browse data file> and <Data file to filter> correspond to "*", <Result> is set to True and no filter is enabled.
Remarks
Let's see a simple example:
HActivateAutoFilter(Parent, Child)

This code indicates that the records in the Child data file are browsed according to the current 'context' (node) of the Parent data file: all 'Child' of the current 'Parent' will be browsed.

HDeactivateAutoFilter(Parent, Child)

This code indicates that the previous filter is not enabled: The Child data file will be browsed independently of Parent. This means that all the records of Child will be browsed in the given child.
HActivateAutoFilter is used to enable/disable the hierarchical link between Parent and Child during browse operations.
