[RBASE-L] - Re: Is there such a thing as an "After Entry EEP"?

Sun, 11 May 2008 20:14:08 -0700

Bob,
 
That was a great explanation. However, I have 2 brief follow up questions....
1) Where do I get a list of other commands like Property 'component id' refresh 'true'...are there sample commands that I can look at? (For me this is very new and very cool stuff!)
2) Are you saying that if I use [F7] or [F8], that I am not actually entering a new field because the field I am leaving is the same field that I am entering, just different fields??

If the GETPROPERTY is in the On ENTRY eep,  you should obtain the value of record you just entered.
 
However, I would place a Property 'component id' refresh 'true' in the eep as well, to insure the form
is refreshed.
 
To test, place a scrolling region on a form.  Locate a DBEdit field and assign it a component ID.
In the tables ON ROW ENTRY EEP (Not the DBEDIT ON ENTRY) place the GETPROPERTY
command to obtain the DBEDIT current value.  Issue a Property refresh if you are displaying this
value in a static text label or some other object. 
 
As you move from one record to the next, you will see the new value.  
 
Remember, the GETPROPERTY should be in the table's ON ROW ENTRY EEP and NOT the field's ON ENTRY EEP.
If you place it in the DBEDITs ON ENTRY EEP and then hit F7 or F8, you will not fire that eep, since you are not leaving
that field, your are changing rows.    You are wanting to fire the EEP when you change rows and not change fields.  For
that, the EEP must be in the tables ON ROW ENTRY. 
 
Hope that helps.

Hi Bernie,
I will check that. I seem to be having the issue under some circumstances, but not others. What is the expected effect of an On Entry EEP when you jump from a field in a row to the same field in a different row? What would be the expected value obtained by the GETPROPERTY command, the value of the field I am jumping from or the value I am jumping to?

Hi Mike,
Just a thought, see if you get the result you want by mousing up or down a row instead of [F7].

Hi All,
Assume I have a form with at least 2 rows of data. I am in a field on one of the rows and I hit [F7] to go up a row, or [F8] to go down a row. I would like to work with the data that is in the field I am entering, not the data in the field I just left. From what I can tell, the GETPROPERTY command will retrieve the value of the field I just left, not the field I am entering. Is there a way to get the value of the field I am about to enter, (or have already entered)? If I had to call this something, I would call it an "After Entry EEP". Is there such a thing?
Mike
