Events managed

Events supported by WINDEV and WINDEV Mobile

The following events appear by default in the WINDEV and WINDEV Mobile code editor:

Event	Runtime condition

Initialization	Executed when the window is opened. * Special case: Table field automatically filled in: When this code is run, the Table control is not filled yet. To force the Table control to be filled in this event, use: the TableDisplay function. or Table based on a data file control management properties: BrowsedFile, BrowsedItem or Filter. You can also filter records with HFilter.
Entry (in the column)	Executed when the column gains focus.
Exit (from the column)	Executed when moving from one control to another (TAB key, selecting another control with the mouse, etc.).
Whenever modified	Executed when the user modifies the column content.

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

On the "Window" tab, in the "Order" group, click "Initialization".
In the window that appears, use the arrows on the right to change the order in which the controls are initialized.

WEBDEV manages the following events for the Table control columns:

Optional events

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

Select the desired 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.
Note: Several optional events can be selected.
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.
Note: If the deactivated code contains WLanguage code, this code is automatically deleted..

On a column of a Table control, you can define:

how the magnifier is used 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.
how columns are sorted (event "Whenever sorting"). This event is executed when the user sorts the column with and .
how columns are resized (event "Resizing the column"). This event is executed when the user resizes the column.
the filter defined by the user (event "Whenever modifying the filter (user input in header)"). This event is executed when the user enters a new filter condition, after the filter has been applied. For example, if the user defines a "Contains" filter and types "Fran", the Table control is filtered according to the condition, then the "Whenever modifying the filter" event is run.
the click on the title of the column (event "Click on title of column"). This event is executed when the user clicks on the title of the column..
the double-click on the column ("Double click on the column" event). This event is executed when the user double-clicks the column.

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
PROCÉDURE Sort(bAscending)
Trace(bAscending? "Ascending column sort" ELSE "Descending sort")
