I suggest that you move all such processing up to
<whatever>_onBeforeRowDisplayEvent (for page or repeated). That way, if
you return STOP it will kill processing for the whole row (or page, if you
are at that level). This assumes that the field is not bound to a data
object column, since you're doing everything manually.
If you do it this way, you should set up references to the objects as
member variables in this_onAfterInitEvent:
(on after init)
_cbAttribute = CSpComboBox("*cbAttribute");
//member variable
private CSpComboBox _cbAttribute;
Then you could move all the below code (after 'event.getSource()') verbatim
to onBeforeRowDisplay, substituting '_cbAttribute' for 'visualObject'.
Also, Grace Frederick recently discovered something in a project we are
working on, that might make some difference:
The standard method return of PROCEED, SKIP, STOP goes back to the earliest
days of ND/Spider java (ND version 2). As of ND4, with the new event
model, alternatives were introduced:
--instead of returning SKIP, you can throw CSpSkipException
--instead of returning STOP, you can throw CSpStopException
The documentation says that these new things are equivalent, but from our
experience they were not. We were looking at onBeforeHtmlOutputEvent. We
found that throwing CSpStopException really stopped things, whereas
returning STOP did not.
