Resequencing application event handlers

To change the sequence in which your event handlers execute for a specified application event, use the Event Handler Sequence form.

Note: When resequencing application event handlers, keep these ideas in mind:
  • This form is intended to be accessed as a linked form, only from the Event Handlers form through the Resequence button. It cannot be called directly.
  • You can change the order only of event handlers that have the same Access As identifier as you, and then only if they are grouped together (that is, adjacent to one another in the sequence). You cannot use this form to change the sequence of event handlers with other Access As values.
  • To change the order of your event handlers with respect to those of others (that is, with different Access As identifiers), use the Keep With and Chronology fields on the Event Handlers form.

To change the sequence of an event handler, follow these steps:

  1. In the Grid View, select an event handler that has your Access As value.
  2. To move the selected handler up or down in the sequence, keeping in mind the restrictions mentioned previously, use the Up and Down buttons.
    If you attempt to violate the restrictions, the application generates an error, and you cannot complete the move.
  3. Save your changes.
