Description
Implements a virtual method for positioning the dataset on the first record, respecting any filters.
FindFirst is intended to be used together with FindNext, FindLast and FindPrior in order to search for the first record using any filters. See the example.
- Notes:
Descendant classes override FindFirst to make the first record active, honoring any filters that are in effect. In descendant classes, FindFirst returns:
True
-- if the active record is successfully changed.False
-- if the active record is not successfully changed.
Example
Here is a code snippet that shows how to use FindFirst and FindNext to search for a record using a filtering expression:
Delphi:
FDQuery1.Filter := 'amount >= 10000';
if FDQuery1.FindFirst then
repeat
// do something
until not FDQuery1.FindNext;
C++:
FDQuery1->Filter="amount >= 10000";
if (FDQuery1->FindFirst()){
do {
// do something
}
while (FDQuery1->FindNext());
}
