WINDEV and WINDEV Mobile manage the following events by default (order of appearance in the code editor):

Event	Runtime condition

Initialization	Run when opening the window. * Special case: Browsing Table control filled automatically: When this code is run, the Table control is not filled yet. To force the Table control to be filled in this event, use: TableDisplay. the properties for managing the browsing Table controls: ..BrowsedFile, ..BrowsedItem or ..Filter. You also have the ability to filter the records with HFilter.
Entry (in the column)	Run when the column takes focus.
Exit (from the column)	Run when moving from one control to another (TAB key, selecting another control with the mouse, etc.).
Whenever modified	Run when the user modifies the column content.

(*) By default, the event "Initializing" of each control is run according to the order in which the controls were created in the window. To modify this runtime order:

On the "Window" pane, in the "Order" group, click "Initialization".
In the window that is displayed, use the arrows on the right to modify the initialization order of controls.

Events managed by WEBDEV

WEBDEV manages the following events for the Table control columns:

Table in browser mode:

Event	Runtime condition

Entry in control (browser code)	Run when the column takes focus.
Exit without modification (browser code)	Run when changing control with column modification.
Exit from control (browser code)	Run when changing control.

AJAX table:

Event	Runtime condition

Initialization (server code)	Run when opening the page.
Entry in the column (browser code)	Run when the column takes focus.
Exit (from the column) with modification (browser code)	Run when changing control after modification (TAB key, change of control with the mouse, etc.).
Exit (from the column) (browser code)	Run when changing control without modification (TAB key, change of control with the mouse, etc.).
In row exit if modification (server code)	Run when the user modifies the column content. This event is run on row exit only.
Whenever performing a search with the magnifier (server code)	Run when the user is using the magnifier to perform a search.

Standard table:

Event	Runtime condition

Initialization (server code)	Run when opening the page.
Entry in control (browser code)	Run when the column takes focus.
Exit without modification (browser code)	Run when changing control with column modification.
Exit from control (browser code)	Run when changing control.

Optional events

Several optional events can be managed. To add an optional event:

Select the requested control.
Display the code window of this control (F2 key).
Click the link "Add other events to xxx" at the bottom of the window code, after the last event.
All the optional events available for the control are displayed.
Check the optional event to add and validate.
Remark: You can select several optional events.
The selected optional event is automatically added to the events managed by the control.

To disable an optional event, simply perform the same operations to display the list of optional events. Then simply uncheck the optional events to delete.
Remark: If the disabled code contains WLanguage code, this code is automatically deleted.

It is thus possible to manage:

the use of magnifier to perform a search (event "Whenever performing a search with the magnifier"). This event is run during the search (for each character typed) from the "magnifier" search control.
the sort of columns (event "Whenever sorting"). This event is run when the user sorts the column using the icons and .
Versions 19 and later
the resizing of columns (event "Resizing the column"). This event is run when the user resizes the column.

the resizing of columns (event "Resizing the column"). This event is run when the user resizes the column.
Versions 23 and later
the input of filter by the user (event "Whenever modifying the filter (user input in header)"). This event is run when the user enters a new filter condition, after the filter has been applied. For example, if the user defines a "Contains" filter and if he types "Fran", the table is filtered according to the condition, then the event "Whenever modifying the filter" is run.

Sort code of a column

When the user clicks the title of a column in a Table control, the sort code of the column is automatically called.

To find out the sort direction, declare a parameter at the beginning of the sort code.

// -- Whenever COL_Column1 is sorted
PROCEDURE Sort(bAscending)
Trace(bAscending? "Ascending column sort" ELSE "Descending sort")
