The documentation for the DBGrid in VB4’s Professional and EnterpriseEditions states that the control’s Text and Value properties allow youto read or set the contents of a cell. This would seem to indicate thatyou could use these properties to update a field in a record set to whichthe grid is bound. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The following codegenerates runtime error 438: “Object doesn’t support this propertyor method:”
' This doesn't work:DBGrid.Columns(0).Text = "Hello, world."' Neither does this:DBGrid.Columns(0).Value = "This is a test"The workaround is to update the data control’s record set directly.The change will be reflected automatically in the bound grid:
datCtl.Recordset.EditdatCtl.Recordset.Fields(0) = "This is a test"datCtl.Recordset.Update
