Par2: Window Manager -- Sequence of Events 1998-07-27 -- Jon Waterhouse With a little digging in the ABWINDOW.CLW file I came up with the following sequence of events. These are WindowManager methods. In TakeAccepted if the control is the control that has been designated the OkControl, the PostCompleted method is called. PostCompleted calls the NonStop acceptance loop which posts Event:Completed when it is finished (or posts event completed immediately for deletes). The TakeWindowEvent traps the EVENT:Completed and calls the TakeCompleted method. The TakeCompleted method saves the history buffer, then does the real insert/change delete based on the value of ThisWindow.Request. So maybe you should put your stuff at the end of the TakeCompleted WindowManger method? --------------------- Douglas Johnson adds: After EVENT:Completed is posted the following happens: WindowManager.TakeCompleted -> (calls) RelationManager.Update -> FileManager.UpdateServer -> FileManager.ValidateRecord -> FileManager.ValidateFields -> FileManager.ValidateField This sequence permits DCT validation for all fields, some of which duplicate calls already made during PROP:AcceptAll = True and others which handle generated or embedded code completely unknown by a particular form. Depending upon the desired action when this validation code encounters an error, it may be difficult to gracelfully reselect the offending entry field and return to updating the form. ** The above sequence may be different for client-server/SQL files where validation is done by the server.
