<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The Q3DataBrowser class provides data manipulation and navigation for data entry forms.</p>
<p>A high-level API is provided for navigating through data records in a cursor, for inserting, updating and deleting records, and for refreshing data in the display.</p>
<p>If you want a read-only form to present database data use <a href="q3dataview.html">Q3DataView</a>; if you want a table-based presentation of your data use <a href="q3datatable.html">Q3DataTable</a>.</p>
<p>A Q3DataBrowser is used to associate a dataset with a form in much the same way as a <a href="q3datatable.html">Q3DataTable</a> associates a dataset with a table. Once the data browser has been constructed it can be associated with a dataset with <a href="q3databrowser.html#setSqlCursor">setSqlCursor</a>(), and with a form with <a href="q3databrowser.html#setForm">setForm</a>(). Boundary checking, sorting and filtering can be set with <a href="q3databrowser.html#boundaryChecking-prop">setBoundaryChecking</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#sort-prop">setSort</a>() and <a href="q3databrowser.html#filter-prop">setFilter</a>(), respectively.</p>
<p>The <a href="q3databrowser.html#insertCurrent">insertCurrent</a>() function reads the fields from the default form into the default cursor and performs the insert. The <a href="q3databrowser.html#updateCurrent">updateCurrent</a>() and <a href="q3databrowser.html#deleteCurrent">deleteCurrent</a>() functions perform similarly to update and delete the current record respectively.</p>
<p>The user can be asked to confirm all edits with <a href="q3databrowser.html#confirmEdits-prop">setConfirmEdits</a>(). For more precise control use <a href="q3databrowser.html#confirmInsert-prop">setConfirmInsert</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#confirmUpdate-prop">setConfirmUpdate</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#confirmDelete-prop">setConfirmDelete</a>() and <a href="q3databrowser.html#confirmCancels-prop">setConfirmCancels</a>(). Use <a href="q3databrowser.html#autoEdit-prop">setAutoEdit</a>() to control the behavior of the form when the user edits a record and then navigates.</p>
<p>The record set is navigated using <a href="q3databrowser.html#first">first</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#next">next</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#prev">prev</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#last">last</a>() and <a href="q3databrowser.html#seek">seek</a>(). The form's display is updated with <a href="q3databrowser.html#refresh">refresh</a>(). When navigation takes place the <a href="q3databrowser.html#firstRecordAvailable">firstRecordAvailable</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#lastRecordAvailable">lastRecordAvailable</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#nextRecordAvailable">nextRecordAvailable</a>() and <a href="q3databrowser.html#prevRecordAvailable">prevRecordAvailable</a>() signals are emitted. When the cursor record is changed due to navigation the <a href="q3databrowser.html#cursorChanged">cursorChanged</a>() signal is emitted.</p>
<p>If you want finer control of the insert, update and delete processes then you can use the lower level functions to perform these operations as described below.</p>
<p>The form is populated with data from the database with <a href="q3databrowser.html#readFields">readFields</a>(). If the user is allowed to edit, (see <a href="q3databrowser.html#readOnly-prop">setReadOnly</a>()), write the form's data back to the cursor's edit buffer with <a href="q3databrowser.html#writeFields">writeFields</a>(). You can clear the values in the form with <a href="q3databrowser.html#clearValues">clearValues</a>(). Editing is performed as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><i>insert</i> When the data browser enters insertion mode it emits the <a href="q3databrowser.html#primeInsert">primeInsert</a>() signal which you can connect to, for example to pre-populate fields. Call <a href="q3databrowser.html#writeFields">writeFields</a>() to write the user's edits to the cursor's edit buffer then call <a href="q3databrowser.html#insert">insert</a>() to insert the record into the database. The <a href="q3databrowser.html#beforeInsert">beforeInsert</a>() signal is emitted just before the cursor's edit buffer is inserted into the database; connect to this for example, to populate fields such as an auto-generated primary key.</li>
<li><i>update</i> For updates the <a href="q3databrowser.html#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>() signal is emitted when the data browser enters update mode. After calling <a href="q3databrowser.html#writeFields">writeFields</a>() call <a href="q3databrowser.html#update">update</a>() to update the record and connect to the <a href="q3databrowser.html#beforeUpdate">beforeUpdate</a>() signal to manipulate the user's data before the update takes place.</li>
<li><i>delete</i> For deletion the <a href="q3databrowser.html#primeDelete">primeDelete</a>() signal is emitted when the data browser enters deletion mode. After calling <a href="q3databrowser.html#writeFields">writeFields</a>() call <a href="q3databrowser.html#del">del</a>() to delete the record and connect to the <a href="q3databrowser.html#beforeDelete">beforeDelete</a>() signal, for example to record an audit of the deleted record.</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="primeUpdate"></a>void Q3DataBrowser::primeUpdate ( <a href="qsqlrecord.html">QSqlRecord</a> * <i>buf</i> ) <tt> [signal]</tt></h3>
<p>This signal is emitted when the data browser enters update mode. Note that during navigation (<a href="q3databrowser.html#first">first</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#last">last</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#next">next</a>(), <a href="q3databrowser.html#prev">prev</a>()), each record that is shown in the default form is primed for update. The <i>buf</i> parameter points to the record buffer being updated. (Note that <a href="q3sqlcursor.html#primeUpdate">Q3SqlCursor::primeUpdate</a>() is <i>not</i> called on the default cursor, as this would corrupt values in the form.) Connect to this signal in order to, for example, keep track of which records have been updated, perhaps for auditing purposes.</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/Q3DataBrowser/readFields"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="readFields"></a>void Q3DataBrowser::readFields () <tt> [virtual slot]</tt></h3>
<p>Reads the fields from the default cursor's edit buffer and displays them in the form. If there is no default cursor or no default form, nothing happens.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/Q3DataBrowser/refresh"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="refresh"></a>void Q3DataBrowser::refresh () <tt> [virtual slot]</tt></h3>
<p>Refreshes the data browser's data using the default cursor. The browser's current filter and sort are applied if they have been set.</p>
<p>See also <a href="q3databrowser.html#filter-prop">setFilter</a>() and <a href="q3databrowser.html#sort-prop">setSort</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/Q3DataBrowser/seek"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="seek"></a>bool Q3DataBrowser::seek ( int <i>i</i>, bool <i>relative</i> = false ) <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>Moves the default cursor to the record specified by index <i>i</i> and refreshes the default form to display that record. If there is no default form or no default cursor, nothing happens. If <i>relative</i> is true (the default is false), the cursor is moved relative to its current position. If the data browser successfully navigated to the desired record, the default cursor is primed for update and the <a href="q3databrowser.html#primeUpdate">primeUpdate</a>() signal is emitted.</p>
<p>If the browser is already positioned on the desired record nothing happens. Returns false if there is no cursor. Otherwise returns true.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/Q3DataBrowser/setForm"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setForm"></a>void Q3DataBrowser::setForm ( <a href="q3sqlform.html">Q3SqlForm</a> * <i>form</i> ) <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>Sets the browser's default form to <i>form</i>. The cursor and all navigation and data manipulation functions that the browser provides become available to the <i>form</i>.</p>
<p>See also <a href="q3databrowser.html#form">form</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/Q3DataBrowser/setSqlCursor"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setSqlCursor"></a>void Q3DataBrowser::setSqlCursor ( <a href="q3sqlcursor.html">Q3SqlCursor</a> * <i>cursor</i>, bool <i>autoDelete</i> = false ) <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>Sets the default cursor used by the data browser to <i>cursor</i>. If <i>autoDelete</i> is true (the default is false), the data browser takes ownership of the <i>cursor</i> pointer, which will be deleted when the browser is destroyed, or when setSqlCursor() is called again. To activate the <i>cursor</i> use <a href="q3databrowser.html#refresh">refresh</a>(). The cursor's edit buffer is used in the default form to browse and edit records.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="sqlCursor"></a><a href="q3sqlcursor.html">Q3SqlCursor</a> * Q3DataBrowser::sqlCursor () const</h3>
<p>Returns the default cursor used for navigation, or 0 if there is no default cursor.</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/Q3DataBrowser/update"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="update"></a>void Q3DataBrowser::update () <tt> [virtual slot]</tt></h3>
<p>Performs an update operation on the data browser's cursor.</p>
<p>If there is no default cursor or no default form, nothing happens. Otherwise, the following happens:</p>
<p>If the data browser is actively inserting a record (see <a href="q3databrowser.html#insert">insert</a>()), that record is inserted into the database using <a href="q3databrowser.html#insertCurrent">insertCurrent</a>(). Otherwise, the database is updated with the current form's data using <a href="q3databrowser.html#updateCurrent">updateCurrent</a>(). If there is an error handling either action, <a href="q3databrowser.html#handleError">handleError</a>() is called.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/Q3DataBrowser/updateBoundary"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="updateBoundary"></a>void Q3DataBrowser::updateBoundary () <tt> [slot]</tt></h3>
<p>If <a href="q3databrowser.html#boundaryChecking-prop">boundaryChecking</a>() is true, checks the boundary of the current default cursor and emits signals which indicate the position of the cursor.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/Q3DataBrowser/updateCurrent"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="updateCurrent"></a>bool Q3DataBrowser::updateCurrent () <tt> [virtual protected]</tt></h3>
<p>Reads the fields from the default form into the default cursor and performs an update on the default cursor. If there is no default form or no default cursor, nothing happens. If an error occurred during the update on the database, <a href="q3databrowser.html#handleError">handleError</a>() is called and false is returned. If the update was successful, the cursor is refreshed and relocated to the updated record, the <a href="q3databrowser.html#cursorChanged">cursorChanged</a>() signal is emitted, and true is returned.</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/Q3DataBrowser/writeFields"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="writeFields"></a>void Q3DataBrowser::writeFields () <tt> [virtual slot]</tt></h3>
<p>Writes the form's data to the default cursor's edit buffer. If there is no default cursor or no default form, nothing happens.</p>
