When working in the Application Event System
(AES), there are times that you need the name (not caption) of an IDO property that is
bound to a form component. Use this procedure:
-
Open the form that has the field or other component that uses
the property you are working with.
For example, to designate the property that contains name of a
document to be attached to a form, you would open the Documents form.
-
Launch the designer (Web Designer or Design Mode) for that form.
-
Select the desired component.
In our example, you would select the edit field that displays the name of the
document to be attached, labeled as Document
Name in the UI.
-
Verify that the Component Properties sheet is selected.
-
On the Component Properties sheet, expand the Data Source group of
properties and locate the Binding property field.
The name of the property bound to that component displays in
that field, after the period.
In our example, the property for the name of
the document displays in the Binding field as object.DocumentName.
Thus, the Document
Name field is bound to the property named
DocumentName. That is the name you will need in the AES
event action.
