Deleting records in a Table or TreeView Table control based on a data file

TableDelete deletes the corresponding record from the data file associated with the control. If items are linked to other data files, no modification is automatically performed on these linked data files.

Referential integrity and Table or TreeView Table controls based on a data file

If the management of referential integrity is enabled (HSetIntegrity), HErrorIntegrity must be called after TableDelete to check the integrity.
If an integrity error is detected, the row is not deleted and it remains visible in the control.

Deleting records in a Table control based on a data file and Trigger

You have the ability to activate a trigger when deleting a record from a Table control based on a data file. For more details, see the documentation about HDescribeTrigger.

Handling errors

The ErrorOccurred variable is set to True if the deletion fails. To get the details of the error, use ErrorInfo.
Example of error cases: Attempt to delete a row whose index corresponds to a row not selected in the visible part of the Table control.

Locking the linked data file

If the data file is locked in the current process, TableDelete deletes the specified row and unlocks the data file.

Deleting records in a Table control populated programmatically with a "Contains" filter

When used on a Table control populated programmatically with a "Contains" filter, TableDelete displays the records that do not match the filter. The filters defined by the AAFs (Automatic Application Features) are canceled.
