Is there a way of dynamically adding and deleting values from the Joined
Fields in the MasterFieldLinks property? I created 2 DBPipelines and had
one value at the Joined fields for the 1st Pipeline and two values for the
2nd Pipeline both using the same datasource, and I could not get it to work.
Is there a way of disabling one of them dynamically? Thanks!

Tech Tip: Define Master/Detail DataPipeline Links in Code
---------------------------------------------------------

Defining a Master/Detail relationship for a DataPipeline
requires that the detail pipeline have the
following properties defined:

1. MasterDataPipeline

2. MasterFieldLinks


At Delphi design-time you can use the object inspector
and the DataPipeline's FieldLinks editor to define
the master/detail relationship.


The following example illustrates how to define the
master/detail relationship dynamically at run-time.


var
lFieldLink: TppMasterFieldLink;


begin

{define the master/detail pipeline relationship}
plDetail.MasterDataPipeline := plMaster;

{create a new field link }
lFieldLink := TppMasterFieldLink.Create(nil);

lFieldLink.Parent := plDetail;

{assign the detail field name}
lFieldLink.DetailFieldName := 'CustNo';

{assign the master field name}
lFieldLink.MasterFieldName := 'CustNo';


end;


Note: The DataPipeline linking requires the records in the detail dataset to
be ordered by the linking fields. In the above example, the detail data must
be ordered by CustNo.
