Edit Parameters for Generate Application Event Validator
Use this dialog box to specify settings for a validator with the Generate Application Event response type. This type of validator lets you use the Application Event System to construct validation logic and use that for component validation.
Field/Option | Description |
---|---|
Event | This
required field specifies the name of an application event defined in the
Events form. Only custom, non-framework events can be specified. |
Synchronous | With this
option is selected, form processing is suspended until the Application
Event System executes its event handlers. Output values returned by handlers for the application event can be processed into form components, variables, or properties, as specified in parameter Value settings. Any updated components and properties are marked as modified. If you clear this check box, no processing of output parameters occurs in the form. The form continues to execute after the event is generated, allowing the application event system to operate in parallel with Windows client. |
Name | This field
specifies the name of a parameter defined for the event in the
Application Event System. To return the result of a synchronous event to the form component, variable, or property specified in the Value field, enter the keyword RESULT. |
Value | This field
specifies the value to be used for the parameter. Windows client substitution keywords and literals are supported as parameter values. To add or edit a literal value or a component, variable, or property value, click Edit Parameter. If Synchronous is selected and a parameter with the same name is defined as an output parameter in an application event handler, output values can update form components, variables, or properties. To enable updates of this type, use the substitution keywords C(ComponentName), V(VariableName), or P(PropertyName) as values. Event handler output from such parameters are placed in the named components, variables, or properties. |
