New value in Matrix

Question

Hi all,
how to add a new row in a matrix not bounded to a datasource?
I tried to retrieve a cell and set the cell.value property, but doesn't work (the values doesn't appear).
Any example is appreciated.
thank's

Hi Bat Dan
You have to bound the matrix to some sourt of datasource. If you don't it will not retain the data. The datasource serv es as a container for the data. You must use either a userdatasource or dbdatasource.
-DBdatasource is linked to table.
-Userdatsource is not linked to a table, just binded to edittext or matrix to hold data.
'You must add a datasource
oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("DataID", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT)
'then bind it to a column
oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("ComMat").Specific
oColumns = oMatrix.Columns
oColumn = oColumns.Item("ColumnID")
oColumn.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "DataID")
'Then add a row to the matrix
omatrix.addrow
'Know you can add values to the matrix, you can do
'it via the datasource or the cell in the
'matrix           
'userdatasource way
oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("UserdatasourceID").Value = Value
oform.update
'cell way
Dim oEdit As SAPbouiCOM.EditText
oEdit = oColumns.Item("ColumnID").Cells.Item(RowNum).Specific
oEdit.Value = i
Hope this helps
