Column.Bound[ = lExpr]

Return Value

  • lExpr
    The settings for the Bound property are:

    Setting

    Description

    True (.T.)

    (Default) The control is bound to the column's control source.

    False (.F.)

    The control is not bound to the column's control source.

Remarks

Applies To: Column Object

If a column's Bound property is set to true (.T.), the column's ControlSource property setting applies to the column and any controls contained in it. If you attempt to set the contained control's ControlSource property, an error occurs. If a column's Bound property is set to false (.F.), you can set the ControlSource property of a contained control directly. If you subsequently set the ControlSource setting of the column, it overrides the ControlSource setting of the contained control.

Typically, the following controls are bound to the corresponding data types:
