ADO 2.5 Samples

AbsolutePosition and CursorLocation Properties Example (VJ++)

This example demonstrates how the AbsolutePosition property can track the progress of a loop that enumerates all the records of a Recordset. It uses the CursorLocation property to enable the AbsolutePosition property by setting the cursor to a client cursor.

// BeginAboslutePositionJ
import com.ms.wfc.data.*;
import java.io.*;

public class AbsolutePositionX
{
   // The main entry point for the application.

   public static void main (String[] args)
   {
      AbsolutePositionX();
      System.exit(0);
   }

   //.AbsolutePositionX function

   static void AbsolutePositionX()
   {

      // define ADO Objects.
      Recordset rstEmployees = null;

      // Declarations.

         new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

         "Initial Catalog='Pubs';Integrated Security='SSPI';";

      String strMessage;
      String strAbsolutePosition,strRecordCount;
      int intAbsolutePosition;
      int intRecordCount;
      int intChoice;
      
      try
      {

         rstEmployees = new Recordset();

         // Use client cursor to enable AbsolutePosition property.
         rstEmployees.setCursorLocation( AdoEnums.CursorLocation.CLIENT);

         // Open a recordset for Employees table using a client cursor.
         rstEmployees.open("employee", strCnn,
            AdoEnums.CursorType.FORWARDONLY ,
            AdoEnums.LockType.READONLY,
