Configure a data grid

Configure a data grid to get data from a project node or a database.
  1. In
    Project view
    , in
    UI
    , right-click a container and then select
    New
    Data controls
    Data grid
    .
  2. In
    Properties
    , create a dynamic link between the
    Model
     property and a node.
    Selected node
    Combo box
    Database object
    Values contained in database tables.
    Project node
    Values of attributes or properties of all direct child nodes.
    For more information about dynamic links, see Create dynamic links.
  3. (optional) Specify the kind of items to display in the object by setting
    ItemKind
    .
    TIP:
    The
    ItemKind
     property is automatically set with the object or variable type recognized among the child nodes.
    For example, if the model is based on a folder node that contains several instances of a
    Motor
     object type,
    ItemKind
     is automatically set with the reference to the
    Motor
     type. In this case, the values that display are the attributes or properties of different instances (
    Motor1
    ,
    Motor2
    ,
    Motor3
    , and so on).
  4. Add columns to the grid by selecting
    Add
     next to
    Columns
    .
  5. Configure columns by setting the
    Text
     and
    Title
     property values.
  6. (optional) In
    Events
    , associate
    Selection changed
     with the
    Refresh
     method.
    The items contained in the object refresh each time you interact with it.
  7. (optional) Sort items by setting
    Sort order
     and
    Order by
     values.
