Confused about DataSet UpdateStatus and Sate

Hi,

I'm working on an application with batchupdates.
I try to find out if I have to save or discards changes when scrolling from
a record to an other.

So I wrote an "BeforeSroll" event handler to check if I'm editing or
whatever.

I decide to use "(dataset as AdoDataset).updatestatus <> usUnmodified".
After I suspect that doesn't work (in the way I want ... not a bug !) I use
a break point and check values.
Indeed the value of "updatestatus" was "usunmodified" BUT if I check
"(dataset as AdoDataset).Sate" I receive "dsEdit". That is in fact the
reality and what I expect.

SO ... Why ?
I tought that working with the dataset level (updatestatus) was the best ...
but don't give me what I expect !

What's the problem ?
Is it because I haven't yet update (updatebatch) the records ?

Hope someone can give me a clear explanation !

Regards

Pierre
