DisplayedItem (Property)

In french: RubriqueAffichée

The DisplayedItem property is used to:

Find out the item or the variable displayed by the control.
Modify the item or the variable displayed by the control.

Remarks:

In the report "Opening" event, this property is used to modify the item displayed in a control when the data source of the report is modified through programming (by SourceName for example).
If this property is used in the control "Before printing" event, the change will be performed the next time the control is printed (indeed, the item value is already read when running the control "Before printing" event).
The displayed item can come from a data file, a view or a query.
The stored item or variable is defined in the window or page editor, in the "Content" tab of the control description.

For a ListView control, this item corresponds to the caption displayed in the ListView control.

Example

// -- Ouverture de l'état
// Changement du fichier de données parcouru
ETAT_Etat1.NomSource = Client 
// Nouvelle rubrique affichée dans le champ "NomCli"
NomCli.RubriqueAffichée = "NomClient"

// Changement du fichier de données associé à l'état
// Passage du fichier de données Client au fichier de données Prospect
ETAT_EtatClient.NomSource = Prospect
// Changement de la vue associée à l'état. 
// Cette vue est basée sur le fichier de données Prospect
ETAT_EtatClient.NomVue = MaVueClient84
NomCli.RubriqueAffichée = "NomProspect"

// Modifier les rubriques affichées dans le champ Table "TABLE_TableClient"
TABLE_TableClient.RubriqueAffichée = "PrénomClient|NomClient|CP|Ville"

// Modifier la rubrique affichée dans le champ Liste "LISTE_ListeClient"
LISTE_ListeClient.RubriqueAffichée = "PrénomClient"

A number of items lower than the number of columns in the Table control, the "additional" columns will not be associated with any item (or variable).

Note: To associate a column with a field or variable, use the DataBinding property.
