Page Sets; New 'PageSetActivate' and 'ActionNotification' events
Page Sets now support 'PageSetActivate' and 'ActionNotification' events.
The 'PageSetActivate' event:
- Does NOT occur when the Page Set in first displayed.
- This is by design.
- Occurs when the Page Set form is activated, e.g. the User has moved to this form from another form.
- Useful for tasks such as:
- Refreshing the Data Source of a DBComboBox based on a Standard Range, e.g., so that adding a Branch from the Branches form and then moving back to the Page Set will display the new Branch in the dropdown list.
The 'ActionNotification' event:
- Allows the Page Set to response to Notification Actions:
- Most built-in forms within finPOWER Connect support 'Notification Actions', e.g., the Accounts form can response to an 'AccountLogsRefresh' notification by refreshing its Logs grid. This notification is sent to the form in many situations, e.g. upon saving a new Account Log.
- This is a powerful event but does rely somewhat on a working knowledge of the NotificationData set with the notification.
- Therefore, this event should generally only be used for internally developed Page Sets or where the notification is specifically documented in the finPOWER Connect 2 Page Sets document.
