You can use the '+Chg' ("change") prefix class for that. It takes a
function which receives the field's value as an argument, and should
return the (possibly modified) value. As side effects, this function may
send messages to other fields.
(gui 'flt '(+Var +Init +Chg +TextField)
'*IncFilter
"All"
'((Str) # "Change" function
(set> (: home id) (someId)) # Set two other fields
(set> (: dt) (date))
(init> (: home query)) # and initiate the search
Str ) # Return the value
'("All" "Created today" "Active") )
I'm not sure if this conflicts with the '+Init' prefix, though. Probably
not, but I would recommend anyway not to use '+Init' here, and simply
initialize the '*IncFilter' variable instead.
In general, '+Chg' is a bit dangerous. You need to take care not to
create circular dependencies between fields, because this may result in
infinite loops.
Cheers,
