How can I align tablegrid to bottom? New bie here

Hello Kim143,

Welcome to MVD - good choice!

To align a tablegrid (or any component - grid, label, panel etc), place the component where you want to see it on the form and then change the 'anchors' object property (see screenshot in the attachment);  depending on your choice, this will determine how the component behaves when the form is resized.  The component itself cannot be resized (as far as I know) - just the form.

In the attachment are a couple of examples of tablegrids, labels and panels that have different 'anchor' properties - as you resize the form, you'll see how they move depending on their 'anchor' settings.

Just a tip - if you have a tablegrid and a label, it is probably better to place them both on a panel and then set the 'anchor' object properties for the panel otherwise the label and the tablegrid can get a bit out of alignment (in the attachment, tablegrid3 and label3 have both been placed inside panel1 so they alway 'stick together' when moved).  Hope I've explained that clearly!

Hope this helps and if you have any other questions, just ask and someone in the Forum (or Dmitry - Mr MVD!, the author of the software) will get back to you.

Regards,
Derek.

Hi Kim,
If I understand your question correctly, then it's not really how MVD works.
Forms are opened more in a hierarchy so when you want to 'switch', subordinate forms need to be closed first. 
For me, that's the main reason to use 'page control'.  Each tabsheet becomes, in effect, a form (but with no hierarchy) which enables you to switch between tabsheets/'forms' without restriction.
If you don't want all of the tabsheets to be displayed all the time, you can set the 'tabvisible' property of any of the tabsheets to 'false' or 'true' depending on which tabsheets you want to see.
How  you best do that depends on why you only want certain tabsheets showing rather than all of them, so if you can give a bit more background to your project, then people might be able to come up with further ideas.

Hi Kim,
Most of us probably start out the same way as you and then get hooked(!) when you realise how much you can do with MVD.
Attached is an example of how to switch off tabsheets you don't need (there will be other ways too - just tried to make it look like a tabbed web-browser).
Hope it gives you some ideas.

Hi Kim,
Not quite sure where the problem is with deleting a record;  bear in mind that if you use the auto-increment feature, when you delete a record, that particular number does not get reallocated (ie if you have records 1,2,3,4 and 5 and you delete record 2, the next auto-incremented no' is 6;  record 2 does not get re-used).
Have a look at the attached example and see if it is doing what you expect.

Derek.
