Declaration
property ApolloBof: WordBool;
Description
Tests if a skip has been attempted that would place the record pointer before the first record in the file (BOF - beginning of file).
See the Delphi/C++Builder VCL help for TDataSet.Bof. To avoid a naming conflict, the old TApollo.Bof method was renamed to ApolloBof. Generally, both behave the same, except when SpeedMode is True. Then, ApolloBof should always be used instead of Bof for accuracy.
Return Value
True or False. If ApolloBof returns True, the record buffer will contain the first record in the file.
Delphi Example
// skip from bottom to top of the file as fast as possible
with ApTbl do
begin
SpeedMode := True;
GoBottom;
while not ApolloBof do
Skip( -1 );
SpeedMode := False; // Refresh controls
end;
C++Builder Example
// skip from bottom to top of the file as fast as possible
ApTbl->SpeedMode = TRUE;
ApTbl->GoBottom();
while (!ApTbl->ApolloBof)
ApTbl->Skip( -1 );
ApTbl->SpeedMode = FALSE; // Refresh controls
