Events managed

Events managed by WINDEV and WINDEV Mobile

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

Event	Runtime condition

Initialization	Run when the window is opened. * 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 "Initializing" event of each control is run according to the order in which the controls were created in the window. To modify this order of execution:

On the "Window" pane, in the "Order" group, click "Initialization".
In the window displayed, use the arrows on the right to modify the order in which the controls are initialized.

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.
