Depending on the control, different events are available. Only the available events for the selected control and context are listed on the Events tab page.
The following events are defined:

āĻ•āĻžāϜ āĻ…āύ⧁āĻŽā§‹āĻĻāύ āĻ•āϰāĻž āĻšāĻŦ⧇

This event takes place before an action is triggered by clicking the control. For example, clicking a "Submit" button initiates a send action; however, the actual "send" process is started only when the When initiating event occurs. The Approve action event allows you to kill the process. If the linked method sends back FALSE, When initiating will not be executed.

The Execute action event occurs when an action is started. For example, if you have a "Submit" button in your form, the send process represents the action to be initiated.
