Argument	Description
Name	The name of the method that is triggered.
inputPropSet	A property set containing arguments to be passed to the InvokeMethod event.

Example

Some special methods create, modify, or delete records. In some cases, events at the applet or business component level are triggered by these actions. If there is a requirement to perform a specific action before and after the method has been executed, these events can be used. In this example, code has been added to the PreInvokeMethod and InvokeMethod applet events to set and reset the flag and to the NewRecord server event to set the fields.

function Applet_PreInvokeMethod (name, inputPropSet)
{
   if (name == "Quote")
   {
      // Add code that needs to be executed BEFORE the special method
      // Set flag to "1"
      TheApplication().SetProfileAttr("flag","1");
   }

return ("ContinueOperation");
}

function Applet_InvokeMethod (name, inputPropSet)
{
   if (name == "Quote")
   {
      // Add code that needs to be executed AFTER the special method
      // Reset the flag to "0"
      TheApplication().SetProfileAttr("flag","0");
   }

}

function BusComp_NewRecord ()
{
   if (TheApplication().GetProfileAttr("flag")== "1" )
   {
      this.SetFieldValue ("Field1", "Value1");
      this.SetFieldValue ("Field2", "Value2");
      . . . . .
   }

}
