UIobject creation and event method
Jean Yves Cojan
Is it possible in object PAL to create an object and associate to it an
event method?
For example : how to create a box and its mouseclick method.

Jean:
Sure, look at the create method for UI objects. Use MethodSet method to
add code. The form or report must be in design mode. You can open it
hidden, add your objects and then run the form though.

Jean Yves,
something like this:
method run(var eventInfo Event)
const
kInch = 1440 ; One inch = 1,440 twips.
endConst
var
uiBox uiObject
fo form
endVar
fo.create()
uiBox.create(boxTool, .1*kInch,.1*kInch,1*kInch,2*kInch, fo)
uiBox.visible = True
uiBox.MethodSet("MouseClick","method mouseClick(var eventInfo MouseEvent)
self.color = Blue
endmethod")
fo.run()
endmethod

> uiBox.MethodSet("MouseClick","method mouseClick(var eventInfo MouseEvent)
> self.color = Blue
> endmethod")
If you have a method that requires more than two or three lines I think the
following version will be better for you:
method run(var eventInfo Event)
const
kInch = 1440 ; One inch = 1,440 twips.
endConst
var
uiBox uiObject
fo form
st string
endVar
fo.create()
uiBox.create(boxTool, .1*kInch,.1*kInch,1*kInch,2*kInch, fo)
uiBox.visible = True
st = "method mouseClick(var eventInfo MouseEvent)\r\n\r\n"
st = st + "self.color = Blue\r\n"
st = st + "endmethod"
uiBox.MethodSet("MouseClick", st)
fo.run()
endmethod
