cdbRecNum (Function)

In french: cdbNumEnr

Returns the number of the current record found in a data file.

Caution: From Windows Mobile 5, the access to a standard database (tasks, contacts, appointments, ...) can no longer be performed from a Windows application (and therefore from a standard WINDEV application).


	Accessible from the PC	Accessible from the simulator	Accessible from the Mobile Device (Pocket PC)
CDB database	Yes	Yes	Yes
Standard database	No	No	Yes

Example

// Number of the current record in Customer file?
ResCurrentNum = cdbRecNum("MyDatabase", "Customer")
Info("The number of the current record is: " + ResCurrentNum)

// Standard "Contacts" database
// Number of the current record in the Contacts file?
ResCurrentNum = cdbRecNum("", cdbContact)
Info("The number of the current record is: " + ResCurrentNum)

Syntax

<Result> = cdbRecNum(<Database> , <Data file>)

<Result>: Integer

Corresponds to:
the number of the current record in the data file.
the hInvalidRecNum constant if there is no current record (position outside the data file).
If an error occurs, you can get the details of the error with ErrorInfo.

<Database>: Character string (with quotes)

Name of database that was opened by cdbOpen,
Empty string ("") to handle one of the standard databases of the Mobile Device (tasks, contacts, ...).

<Data file>: Character string (with quotes) or constant

Data file to use. This parameter corresponds to:
the name of data file to use.
the constant corresponding to one of the standard databases:
cdbContact "Contacts" database
cdbTask "Tasks" database
cdbAppointment "Appointments" database
If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), cdbRecNum will handle the last data file used by the last Mobile Device database management function (function starting with "cdb").
