grid is full or empty; question

[naxo]

Hi I was reading and practicing the grid function and when I read this function

count = Grid.GetRowCount("Grid1");

I thought this was to get some info to see if grid if empty or not:

count = Grid.GetRowCount("Grid1");

if count < 0 then
Dialog.TimedMessage("Please Wait...", "okay!", 2000, MB_ICONINFORMATION);
else
Dialog.TimedMessage("Please Wait...", "This grid does not have any data", 2000, MB_ICONINFORMATION);
end

I didn't get any result when data is in instead the empty status. If empty displays grid does not have any data but wether its some data in the grid does not call to the dialog okay! Am I missing something?

I think its cos your using the Less than sign not the more then sign try
if count > 0 then

I think it depends on your definition of "empty". Grid.GetRowCount() simply returns the number of rows in the Grid. This does not mean that there is actually any data in the cells.

I consider this an empty Grid, as there is no data, yet Grid.GetRowCount() returns correctly "3", as there are three lines:

thanks for heads up Ulrich, I noticed my problem from not getting any data info when I run the code above was a setting properties for the grid. Changed the numbers of rows (before 0 now its 3).

Thanks all again
