Hello,

using a TDbGrid, I want to take different actions if the user is inserting or appending a record (in this case to automatically assign the ordering field so that the record appears in the right row after post).

The method TDataSet.DoInsertAppend just differentiates them internally, there is no flag/parameter to indicate it to the events (i.e. BeforeInsert, OnNewRecord, AfterInsert), I suppose because delphi does it that wey.

Now, since I'm using zeos, I see that if it's inserting, the RecNo in AfterInsert is the same as it was in BeforeInsert, while they are different during an append.

I suppose that depends on the TDataset and database used, so it may not hold true if I switch to a different dataset or database.

Is there a better, proper, way to discriminate between the two cases?

Bye
