Null Values in Tables

Null Values in Tables
 
Overview: If you want to have a Table with input of numeric values and if you want to see / store / retrieve the difference between an empty cell (= ‘Null’) and a cell with a numeric value in it, which could be a Zero too, then this is for you!
 
At first it seems to be a surprise: There’s a check box for each numeric Table Column: ‘Null if empty’. But if you want to test a column whether it’s Null or NOT Null and try to use a command like
 
IF Table.MyNumericColumn..Null = True THEN  <== SYNTAX ERROR !
 
you will think that you’re lost, because WinDev does not support the ..Null property for a Table column! The first secret is to use:
 
IF Table.MyNumericColumn..displayedValue = “” THEN
 
There are three examples, slightly different, which demonstrate all how to build such a Table. Mr Alexandre Leclerc gave the first project idea of how to solve the problem in a decent way! The idea was to brushcolor Table cells = Null in yellow and to have Table cells containing numerics (even a Zero!) with white background color.
 
first example from Alexandre:

next, I had been able to build a first full-blown working example for a Browsing Table:

further I built a very similar project for a Memory Table

Now, Alexandre added a code-reduced version of the same project:
