Data Exchange for Record Views (MFC Data Access)

When you use Add Class to map the controls in a record view's dialog template resource to the fields of a recordset, the framework manages data exchange in both directions — from recordset to controls and from controls to recordset. Using the DDX mechanism means that you do not have to write the code to transfer data back and forth yourself.

DDX for record views works in conjunction with RFX for recordsets of class CRecordset (ODBC). RFX moves data between the current record of the data source and the field data members of a recordset object. DDX moves the data from the field data members to the controls in the form. This combination fills the form controls initially and as the user moves from record to record. It can also move updated data back to the recordset and then to the data source.

The following figure shows the relationship between DDX and RFX for record views.
