Customizing a Handheld screen

Can you use the Leave event on that text box? It will fire the instant
the user tabs or clicks outside that text box, before any data gets
updated... might be too soon for your needs.

Subject: [Vantage] Customizing a Handheld screen





I am working on customizing a handheld screen and have an odd situation.
On the start production activity screen, there is a field for the jobnum
that is tied to an epicordataview called start. The underlying table
record that gets generated by the form when closed is a labordtl record.
I would like to be able to populate a few readonly textboxes when the
user leaves the jobnum textbox. If I use an afterfield change it does
not fire until the screen is closed (as the labordtl record is not
created until then). Any suggestions on how to get a OnExit event from
an Epicor base textbox?

Once I have a trigger that hits when the user leaves the field I can do
all the work of pulling the required data and populating the custom text
boxes.

Epicor/Vantage is standard .net so adding an event is pretty straight forward. Code from memory and some quick cut and pastes so syntax may need adjusting.

adding a leave/exit event is the same for an epitextbox as for any .net control.

The existing control can not be referenced directly so we need to add an EpiTextBox declaration in the global area, use csm.GetNativeControlReference to point the new epiTextBox to the existing text box and then add the event.

Dim myJobNum as EpiTextBox ' in global area

' in initialize area
Dim GUID as String
GUID = "the GUID from the property of the existing EpiTextBox"
myJobNum = Ctype(csm.GetNativeControlReference(GUID),EpiTextBox)

AddHandler myJobNum.Leave, AddressOf Script.myJobNum_Leave
