<Table control>: Control name

<Element of column 1> + TAB + <Element of column 2> + TAB + ...

<Index>: Optional integer

Remarks

Use conditions

TableModify can be used on:

a Table or TreeView Table control based on a data file.
a Table or TreeView Table control populated programmatically.
a single-selection or multi-selection control.
Reminder: Multiselection is not available for classic Table controls.

This function is available for Table controls in "Server" and "Server + AJAX" mode, and for TreeView Table controls.

This function is available for Table controls in "Browser" mode only.

The TreeView Table control is not available.

Row characteristics

Each row element is changed into the type of the associated column.
If one of the elements corresponds to an empty string ("") or to 0 (depending on the column type), its value will be overwritten.
For example:

TableModify(TABLE_CustomerTable, "Moore" + TAB + "Peter" + TAB + "" + ...
TAB + "06/21/72")
If an element corresponds to the calculation result, the numeric expression must be enclosed in brackets.
For example:

TableModify(TABLE_CalcTable, (53+29) + TAB + (83-21))
To modify the value of an element in a row, use the following syntax:

TableName.ColumnName[RowIndex] = NewValue

Table or TreeView Table control based on a data file: Modifications in the linked data file

If the cascading input is enabled, the 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 data file linked to the control is not modified. To write the record into the linked data file, TableSave must be called after TableModify.

Remarks:

The "Cascading input" option can be selected in the "Details" tab of the control description window.
Cascading input is only available for "Server + AJAX" Table controls based on a data file.

Changes in a Table or TreeView Table control based on a data file

To modify a row in a Table or TreeView Table control based on a data file, we advise you to:

modify the record in the data file with HModify,
use TableDisplay to refresh the control.

Modifying a record in a Table control based on a data file and releasing a Trigger
