Indicates whether or not a cursor is positioned at the First record in a dataset.
Syntax:
property Bof : boolean;
Description:
Examine Bof (beginning-of-file) to determine if the cursor is positioned at the first record in a dataset. If Bof is True, the cursor is unequivocally on the first row in the dataset.
Bof is True when an application:
▪Opens an empty dataset.
▪Calls a dataset's First method.
▪Call a dataset's Prior method, and the method fails (because the cursor is already on the first row in the dataset).
▪Bof is False in all other cases.
If both Eof and Bof are True, the dataset is empty.
