Prompt - WideList_

Procedure Prompt 

Call:

Send Prompt

Pops up Prompt_Object of current object or column, or can be overwritten. Sent by key kPrompt.

In data entry objects (DEOs), this is typically handled by setting the Field_Prompt_Object in the DataDictionary class or object (DDO) that is the Server of the DEO or for the current dbGrid column.

This message can be overwritten to popup another object, for example, conditionally.

Sample

This sample shows how to overwrite the Prompt method to conditionally pop up different prompt objects (selection lists, in this example).

Procedure Prompt
    If (Customer.Region = 1) ;
        Send Popup of Region1_sl
    Else If (Customer.Region = 1) ;
        Send Popup of Region2_sl
    Else ;
        Send Popup of Region3_sl
End_Procedure

Sample

This sample shows how to overwrite the Prompt method for a dbGrid object to conditionally pop up (or not) a prompt object for a specific grid column (column 2).

Procedure Prompt
    Integer iColumn

    Get Current_Col to iColumn
    If (iColumn=2) ;
        send Popup of Customer_sl
End_Procedure
