Populating a Browse with data from another source
« on: June 24, 2011, 04:05:29 AM »
I have several lists in which I need to populate with data received from stored procs. I can't use a dummy table on SQL to receive the data in - the db belongs to someone else and I can't have custom tables created for that. We are using ADO in an OLE container to retrieve the data.

My problem lies in this - I would like to use the NT browse template to display the data. But I need to override the normal Clarion processing for that. I think a class interface would have been nice, but SV have not implemented something like that. What other method may there be to do this?

Maybe this post belongs in the SV newsgroups, but I think the browse in NT works different and could be easier to manipulate.

Create an in-memory table to store the results of the stored procedure.
Then browse as normal.
