Declaration

property EOFAction: TEOFAction;

TEOFAction = (eaEOF, eaMoveLast);

Description

Sets the action of EOF following a failed Seek. By default (eaMoveLast), a failed Seek positions the cursor to the last record in the table (or active index order), sets the Found flag to False, but EOF (and ApolloEOF) remain False.

To emulate the behavior more similar to pure xBase, set this property to eaEOF. This will result in a failed Seek being positioned at record number (RecCount + 1), will set both ApolloEOF and EOF to True.

Delphi Example

ApTbl.IndexName := 'NAMES';

ApTbl.EOFAction := eaEOF;

ApTbl.Seek( 'Smith' );

if ApTbl.Eof then

ShowMessage( 'Not Found' )

else

ShowMessage('Found');

C++Builder Example

ApTbl->IndexName = "NAMES";

ApTbl->EOFAction = eaEOF;

ApTbl->Seek( "Smith" );

if (ApTbl->Eof)

ShowMessage( "Not Found" );

else

ShowMessage("Found");
