Forms45: Entering/executing query programmatically
Date: 1997/04/11
Message-ID: <334EA490.7366_at_kontron.de>#1/1
[Quoted] [Quoted] I have to build masks whose behaviour is different from Forms' default
behaviour:
when entering a mask, the user should be immediately entering a query in
the current block's primary key field. Upon leaving this field, the
query should be executed. If there exists a record for this primary key,
it should be displayed and now can be modified (in normal mode). If
there exists none, he should be able to enter values in those attribute
fields.
Now, what triggers can I use to implement this behaviour? Especially,
where should I call the Execute_Query bultin procedure? The
When_Validate_Item trigger does not fire in Enter_Query mode and the
Post_Text_Item trigger does not allow restricted procedures like
Execute_Query?
I am new to Forms, so perhaps this is an RTFM question, but I really
tried to find anything about it in the manual in vain.
