Description

This class and all its subclasses (except CodePicklist) is obsolete. Lists and Grids are now created using the cCJGrid and cDbCJGrid classes.

As of revision 16.0, DataFlex includes full support for Codejock Software's COM Report Control package for creating grids. See Using Grids for more information.



WideList defines the common procedures and properties of data-entry classes and dbLists.

Of Special Note

The WideList class defines the properties, procedures, and functions required by all kinds of data-entry and lists. Its descendent classes include (indirectly) dbList and dbGrid. WideList is not intended for the creation of objects directly (instantiation).
