[RBASE-L] - RE: v9.x: Custom Form Actions vs EEPs

Tue, 25 Jan 2011 12:12:11 -0800

Well Jim, I've been using them for so long, I guess I just defer to them from habit for most uses where they would also suffice as a SP.
But RUN SELECT was made to be accessible during the ON [FIRST] CONNECT event and the ON BEFORE CONNECT event from 7.6 and later to be able to use that facility to perform whatever you might want to do during the event.

Mike,



I am curious. Why as a varchar field in form rather than as stored 
procedure?

Additionally, if a CFA is likely to be used across more than one form, 
the code
can be consolidated to a VarChar field in a table and use the RUN SELECT 
command

to access it from the form either in the CFA or EEP...

Bruce,


Like Bill I prefer CFAs in particular for  modularity.  Often I will have 
a CFA
that is called by other CFAs which may  have in turn been invoked by 
another
CFA.  I will add one advantage - all  the bits of code are there in one 
place
for you to see.  You don't have to  go searching through all of the 
various

actions on all of the controls on the  form to find something.

v9.x  developers:

When creating new forms, do you prefer to create:

a)  Individual EEPs, or;
b) Custom Form Actions?

Just  wondering.
