public:
virtual bool redrawItems(int _idxFirst, int _idxLast);
public virtual bool redrawItems (int _idxFirst, int _idxLast);
abstract member redrawItems : int * int -> bool
override this.redrawItems : int * int -> bool
Public Overridable Function redrawItems (_idxFirst As Integer, _idxLast As Integer) As Boolean
Parameters
- _idxFirst
- Int32
An Integer data type that specifies the zero-based index for the last item in the range.
- _idxLast
- Int32
An Integer data type that specifies the zero-based index for the last item in the range.
Returns
true if the items are updated; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The following example shows a call to the redrawItems method to update a range of items in the form list control. The FormListControl.moveItem method moves a specified item. The FormListControl.getCount method retrieves the number of items in the control. The while select statement retrieves account numbers from the CustTable table and then stores the data in a container. The items in the variable are added to the form list control by calling the FormListControl.addItem method.
