knowing which field was updated.

[Jayme McColgan]

hey everyone,

 

 

is it possible to know which field is being updated in Object Info tab?

In what context?

sorry shot that one off quickly with no good context... lol  when a user updates a field in OIP, is it possible to see what field they updated before jumping into the ResetEvent flow where it redraws everything? 

[MullinRJ]

Short answer - YES. I'll have to look up the way as I don't remember exactly what changes off the top of my head.

Look at this command

    WidgetChanged := vsoStateGetParamChng(PIOHand, WidgetID, WidgetIndex, OldSel);
 

I use it in the kResetEventID { 3 - Object reset has been called } event.

that seems to be returning false every time.  my plugin is already event based.

I'm guessing here, but you may need to enable something before it will work.

 

Do you have this turned on?

result := SetObjPropVS(kObjXPropAcceptStates, TRUE);                    { 18 }
 

Set it in the kObjOnInitXProperties event.     { event 5 }

 

I've found that many events can be hidden from your code if they are not properly enabled first. If it's not this, it may be something else.

so I've thought about this more... I guess what I'm trying to do is skip the kResetEventID and not redraw everything if certain conditions are met.

Unlike you, I haven't thought about this for more than a minute. You can skip the redraw event with an IF statement, but I think the PIO will erase everything before you skip the redraw. If you don't redraw something, you may have difficulty selecting it afterwards. You can try it, but I don't recommend it. Perhaps someone has a more informed opinion on this. Be careful.
