> This is driving me bananas!
> I'm using the latest version of Delphi3 (3.02). I have a form with a
> TDBNavigator and a number of TDBCheckBoxes: the underlying database
> fields are all TBooleanFields.
> What is driving me bonkers is that I cannot set a checkbox programati-
> cally (with either the Checked or State properties) and have the value
> end up in the corresponding database field. If the user actually clicks
> on the box, there's no problem, it works fine.
> However, the form is setting up a configuration record, so there are
> times when I want to set the value of one or more boxes depending on a
> user selection. The alternative of checking the user's selection after
> he or she has clicked everything would make nonsense of the phrase
> 'Rapid Application Development'!
> The root of the problem appears to lie somewhere in whatever executes
> when you select either Insert or Post on the DBNavigator - inspecting
> properties immediately after Insert has initialized them displays strong
> evidence of some very woolly thinking, and some very lax testing!
> I can work around the problem by setting the relevant database field's
> Value property directly, but then it makes the code about three times as
> long, and what are data-aware controls for? Why am I paying for a dog
> and barking myself?
> Before I lay into Borland properly, have I missed anything obvious, and/
