Grid Execution Properties

The Grid execution properties are used to configuring file connections to display data.

To edit the Execution properties, select the object with the mouse and use the Movicon "Properties Window" which appears.

You may need to activate the "WebServiceClientBlockUIOnLoading" registry key when loading data from a Web Client session in order to load it more quickly in the Grid object (see topic: "User Interface Registry Keys")

ODBC DSN

This property allows you to insert or create the ODBC DSN connection to be used to access the Database to be displayed in the Grid.

The ODBC is currently not supported in WinCE. Therefore, the Database file DSN link cannot be used and the Grid's "ODBC DSN" property will have to be changed when configuring it. This setting will therefore be different according to whether the Grid has to be linked to a DataLogger/Recipe or to a Database file. In the first case, Movicon will have already opened connections to the file allowing the Grid to use them. In the second case, however, the Grid will have to open a new connection to the DataBase file. As a consequence, the "ODBC DSN" property should be set as follows:

Connection to DataLogger/Recipe: the DSN name in the "ODBC DSN" property is replaced with the name of the DataLogger/Recipe.
Connection to DataBase: The DSN name in the "ODBC DSN" property is replaced with the DataBase file name to be connected to, without specifying the extension. The DataBase file, in this case, must be found in the project's DLOGGERS folder or one of its sub folders.

ODBC DSN User

This property specifies the users name to be used for the ODBC connection.

Query

The extraction query of data from the selected database table is inserted in this edit box. Only data extracted according to the query's parameters is displayed in the Grid.

Text FileName

This property allows you to insert or select the name of the text file to be displayed in the Grid instead of a Database file.

Text Separator

This property allows you to set the separators to be used to separate data in the selected text file to be displayed in the Grid. When this field is left empty the "," default separator character will be used.
