Returns the number of columns within a specific logical group or band.
No implementation located. This member is documented, but the source scan found no matching declaration. It is likely declared in a header this scan does not resolve, or provided by a macro.
Syntax
FUNCTION CountColumnsInBand (BYVAL BandNumber AS LONG) AS LONGParameters
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
BandNumber | The zero‑based index of the band whose column count you want to retrieve. |
Description
Returns the number of columns of the specified band.
Remarks
CountColumnsInBand returns the number of columns defined within a specific band of a hierarchical grid. This is especially useful when working with shaped Recordsets, where each band may have a different number of fields.
Typical uses include:
- iterating through all columns of a specific band
- applying formatting (e.g., ColWidth, ColAlignment) only to columns belonging to that band
- dynamically generating headers or layouts based on the band structure
- debugging shaped Recordsets to verify the expected number of fields per band
Example
Dim cols As Long = grid.CountColumnsInBand(1) Print "Band 1 has "; cols; " columns."
