    Data Type Formatting

    Use this area to specify data type formats to be used when displaying values.

    Select a data type to format. Then select a format for that data type from the drop-down list. To customized the selected format, select the Custom check box and enter a format.

    Select the Custom tab to create new custom formats or review existing and pre-defined custom formats. For more information about custom formats to use with DateTime values, see "Custom Date and Time Format Strings" at http://msdn.microsoft.com/.

    Default (DateTime): General date/time with seconds pattern (G)

    Use locale-independent format

    Uses an invariant instead of your computer's system- defined locale for data types. This ensures that a character format, such as a decimal, is always used regardless of the character used by the computer's locale.  

    Default: Cleared

    Submitting changes to the database

    Submits row changes (inserts, edits, and deletions) to the database:

    • Automatically submit row changes as they occur—Submits changes to the database on a row-by-row basis when you click or when the cursor changes focus to a new row.   

    Note: You must commit your changes to the database before closing the connection.

    • Manually submit row changes as a batch—Submits all changes since your last submit to the database at one time. If you close the grid without submitting or rejecting the changes, they are submitted by default.

    Default: Automatically submit row changes as they occur

    Move row focus when using horizontal navigation keys

    Moves to the previous or next row when using the left or right arrow keys on the first or last cell in a row.

    Default: Cleared

    Show data as read-only

    Defaults the data grid to read-only mode. Edit Data in Read-Only Grids

    Note: This option applies to the data grid only. If you want to install the product as read-only, see Read-Only Installation.

    Default: Cleared
