Defining a Menu Object

Within the form definition a menu object can be created using the form’s NewMenu method or the menu sub-command. You can then use the menu’s Add(), InsertAfter(), and InsertBefore() methods to add or insert named menu fields. A menu field can do one of three things: Read the rest of this entry »

Validating Input to Text Fields

The text field gadget has an optional validation callback member which the user can specify:

!textfield.ValidateCall = <callback string>

When a text input field is actioned (by modifying it and pressing ENTER, or when a button on the form is pressed or the form’s OKcall is executed), it is automatically checked to ensure that the typed-in value matches the field’s TYPE and its FORMAT constraints. If so, then the user’s VALIDATECALL is actioned. Read the rest of this entry »
