Activity (ACTIVE)

The activity operator creates a property that determines whether one of the following form elements is active:

• Property - whether the focus is on the specified property on the form.
• Tab - whether one of the tabs in the specified tab panel is active.
• Form - determines whether the specified form is active for the user.

Language

To create a property that determines whether a tab is active, use the ACTIVE TAB operator. Whether a form is active is determined by creating an action using the ACTIVE FORM operator.

Examples

//Form with two tabs
FORM tabbedForm 'Tabbed form'
    OBJECTS u = CustomUser
    PROPERTIES(u) name

    OBJECTS c = Chat
    PROPERTIES(c) name
;

DESIGN tabbedForm {
    NEW tabPane FIRST {
        type = TABBED;
        NEW contacts {
            caption = 'Contacts';
            MOVE BOX(u);
        }
        NEW recent {
            caption = 'Recent';
            MOVE BOX(c);
        }
    }
}

//If the 'Recent' tab is active
recentActive() = ACTIVE TAB tabbedForm.recent;

FORM exampleForm;
testActive  {
    ACTIVE FORM exampleForm;
    IF isActiveForm() THEN MESSAGE 'Example form is active';
}
