TIBCustomDataSet.LocateNext Method

Searches the dataset for the record after a specified record and makes that record the current record.

Pascal
function LocateNext(const KeyFields: string; const KeyValues: Variant; Options: TLocateOptions): Boolean;
C++
__fastcall Boolean LocateNext(const AnsiString KeyFields, const Variant KeyValues, TLocateOptions Options);

Call LocateNext to search a dataset for a record after the current cursor position 

KeyFields is a string containing a semicolon-delimited list of field names on which to search. 

KeyValues is a variant that specifies the values to match in the key fields. If KeyFields lists a single field, KeyValues specifies the value for that field on the desired record. To specify multiple search values, pass a variant array as KeyValues, or construct a variant array on the fly using the VarArrayOf routine.  

The Options parameter is a set that optionally specifies additional search latitude when searching on string fields. If Options contains the loCaseInsensitive setting, then LocateNext ignores case when matching fields. If Options contains the loPartialKey setting, then LocateNext allows partial-string matching on strings in KeyValues. If Options is an empty set, or if KeyFields does not include any string fields, Options is ignored. 

LocateNext returns true if it finds a matching record, and makes that record the current one. Otherwise LocateNext returns false. 

LocateNext uses the fastest possible method to locate matching records. If the search fields in KeyFields are indexed and the index is compatible with the specified search options, LocateNext uses the index. Otherwise LocateNext creates a filter for the search.
