AbsolutePosition and CursorLocation Properties Example (VJ++)

This example demonstrates how the AbsolutePosition property can track the progress of a loop that enumerates all the records of a Recordset. It uses the CursorLocation property to enable the AbsolutePosition property by setting the cursor to a client cursor.

// BeginAboslutePositionJ
import com.ms.wfc.data.*;
import java.io.*;

public class AbsolutePositionX
{
   // The main entry point for the application.

   public static void main (String[] args)
   {
      AbsolutePositionX();
      System.exit(0);
   }

   //.AbsolutePositionX function

   static void AbsolutePositionX()

         // Use client cursor to enable AbsolutePosition property.
         rstEmployees.setCursorLocation( AdoEnums.CursorLocation.CLIENT);

         // Open a recordset for Employees table using a client cursor.
         rstEmployees.open("employee", strCnn,
