PeopleCode Event and Function Behavior

PeopleCode events and functions that relate exclusively to the graphical user interface and online processing cannot be used by component interfaces. These include:

• Search dialog processing.

  When you run a component interface, the SearchInit, SearchSave, and RowSelect events do not fire. This means that any PeopleCode associated with these events will not run. The first event to run is RowInit.

• Menu PeopleCode and pop-up menus.

  The ItemSelected and PrePopup PeopleCode events are not supported. In addition, the CheckMenuItem, DisableMenuItem, EnableMenuItem, HideMenuItem, and UncheckMenuItem functions are not available.

• Transfers between components, including modal transfers.

  The TransferPage, DoModalPageGroup, and IsModalPageGroup functions cannot be used.

• Dynamic tree controls.

  Functions related to this control, such as GetSelectedTreeNode, GetTreeNodeParent, GetTreeRecordName, RefreshTree, and TreeDetailInNode cannot be used.

• ActiveX controls.

  The PSControlInit and PSLostFocus events are not supported, and the GetControl function cannot be used.

• DoSave() and DoSaveNow().

  The DoSave() and DoSaveNow() PeopleCode functions are not supported. You should use the component interface Save() method and wrap the DoSave() and DoSaveNow() functions so that they do not execute when called from a component interface.

• Functions that are ignored in a component interface call.

  Some PeopleCode functions are ignored if they are called through a component interface. These functions are:

  • WinMessage

  • CheckMenuItem

  • DisableMenuItem

  • EnableMenuItem

  • HideMenuItem

  • UncheckMenuItem

  • SetCursorPos
