Atburðir
The Events tab page, allows you to assign a macro to certain events which occur in a form.
To link an event with a macro, first write a macro that contains all the commands to be executed when the event happens. Then assign this macro to the respective event by clicking the ... button beside the corresponding event. The Assign Macro dialog opens, where you can select the macro.
The following actions can be configured individually, meaning that you can use your own dialogs to depict an action:
-
Displaying an error message,
-
Confirming a delete process (for data records),
-
Querying parameters,
-
Checking input when saving a data record.
For example, you can issue a "confirm deletion" request such as "Really delete customer xyz?" when deleting a data record.
The events that are shown in the Events dialog cannot be edited directly. You can delete an event from the list by pressing the Del key.
The following lists and describes all events in a form that can be linked to a macro:
Before update
The Before update event occurs before the control content changed by the user is written into the data source. The linked macro can, for example, prevent this action by returning "FALSE".
After update
The After update event occurs after the control content changed by the user has been written into the data source.
Á undan núllstillingu
The Prior to reset event occurs before a form is reset. The linked macro can, for example, prevent this action by returning "FALSE".
A form is reset if one of the following conditions is met:
-
The user presses an (HTML) button that is defined as a reset button.
-
A new and empty record is created in a form that is linked to a data source. For example, in the last record, the Next Record button may be pressed.
Eftir endurstillingu
The After resetting event occurs after a form has been reset.
Eftir aðgerð á færslu
The After record action event occurs directly after the current record has been changed.
Eftir breytingu á færslu
The After record change event occurs directly after the current record pointer has been changed.
Fyrir sendingu
The Before submitting event occurs before the form data is sent.
Staðfesta eyðingu
The Confirm deletion event occurs as soon as data has been deleted from the form. For example, the linked macro can request confirmation in a dialog.
