Now it’s time to see the magic happen.  Do the following:

  1. Once you have restarted OpenInsight, load the Form Designer and create a new form.

  2. Add an EDITLINE, PUSHBUTTON, RADIOBUTTON, EDITBOX, CHECKBOX and finally another EDITLINE.  

  3. Double Click on the last EDITLINE and change it’s name to STATUSLINE.

  4. Save your form and then test run it. As you move between each control, the control type should be displayed in the STATUSLINE control.

Some examples of other promoted Events include:

  • Pre or post save

  • Pre or post write

  • Default options key processing

  • Trap additional events like Right Click

  • Change the background color of the form that has focus.

The potential of promoted events is limited only by your imagination

  • No labels
