Type of iteration

  • Automatic iteration: the data file browse and the display of data in the element are automatic. No specific programming is required.
    The sort is performed on the search item defined in the "Content" tab of the element description. If a filter is specified ("Filter on search item" in the "Content" tab of the element description), this filter is used. No browse process is run for the specified element.
  • Programmed iteration: The developer must manage the file browse and the display of data in the element.
    The "Read the first record", "Read the previous record", "Read the next record" and "Read the last record" processes are run. A programmed iteration allows you to sort and filter records with precision. However, a programmed iteration is slower and more complex than an automatic iteration.

  • browsing List Box controls,
