Description

The Entry_Update message moves data from all Entry_Items of a data entry object (DEO) whose Data_File is equal to iFile and whose Item_Changed_State/Changed_State is True, to the global record buffer of iFile. If iFile is 0, data is moved from all items regardless of their Data_File, and if bDoAll is true, all data is moved regardless of the items' Item_Changed_State. This message is used by the dfBaseEntry package.

The data-entry system uses the Entry_Update message just prior to the Entry_Find. The update is performed by moving the values of all of the table columns for the specified table to the record buffer. This is done by setting the value of the bDoAll parameter to True.
