I have been using New formula too. In the context of ORDA-based forms, I have set up Form.onSave(), Form.onLoad(), Form.onNew() etc. I like it because the code for record selection and change can be generic with these ’nubs’. I wish that one did not have to create a project method [for other than the most rudimentary use] to use ’New Formula’, but still it is a great new feature.
In any case, back to my question about form events. Is the only mechanism to do an ‘Outside Call’ with POST OUTSIDE CALL? What have you found that works, if anything. > On Apr 23, 2019, at 9:05 AM, Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I think the future is to use New formula. > > it is like a function pointer in other languages, > it allows the callee to invoke a callback function at a later time. > > https://blog.4d.com/new-formula-more-power-behind-simplicity/ > > alternatively, one could say that CALL FORM is like a custom form event. > > regarding subforms, > CALL SUBFORM CONTAINER can only convert an event in the subform context > to another event in the host's context, > it does not generate a new event. > > 2019/04/23 23:32、Chris Belanger via 4D_Tech > <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>のメール: > > I remember — but cannot find again — some documentation that talked about > using negative-numbered values for events to facilitate custom events. > However, I seem to remember it only was in the context of subforms. > > > > ********************************************************************** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:[email protected] > ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
