Creating Event Triggers

A trigger is a condition that causes an application event to fire. Triggers can be based on conditions that are created in these cases:

By user actions, such as saving and closing a form, changing a record, and so on
Apart from user actions, such as the passage of time or the result of a database calculation

The Event Triggers form is used to set conditions of the second type.

To create an event trigger:

Open the Event Triggers form.
Select Actions > Filter > Cancel in Place.
Select Actions > New .
In the Event Name field, select the application event for which you want to define a trigger.

Note: You cannot define a trigger for a framework event.
In the Trigger > Condition field, specify the condition for which the application event is to fire.
On the Parameters tab, specify the names and values for any event parameters for which you must pass values to the event handlers when the event fires.
Set other options on this form as desired.

For more information on other form options see the online help for each field.
Save the form.
