Property Integer Base_Item
| Read Access: | Get Base_Item to IntegerVariable |
| Write Access: | Set Base_Item to IntegerVariable/Value |
The base_item property (along with item_limit) is used to limit the scope of the standard entry-item manipulation messages. The base_item defines the starting item number that the DfBaseEntry messages are to work with. The messages affected are: entry_display, entry_update, entry_clear, item_change, validate_items. If the property is not set, the item set begins with the first item. The base_item along with the item_limit property are used to limit the scope of the standard entry messages.
This message is of no little use to single item entry objects (its value will always be 0). This message is used in the dbGrid class to define the current_row.
