Events for the OLE control – PB Docs 125

Events for data

Events that have to do with data are:

• DataChange

  The data has been changed

• Rename

  The object has been renamed

• Save, SaveObject

  The data has been saved

• ViewChange

  The user has changed the view of the data

When these events occur, the changes are reflected automatically
in the control. If you need to perform additional processing when
the object is renamed, saved, or changed, you can write the appropriate
scripts.

Because of the architecture of OLE, you often cannot interact
with the OLE object within these events. Trying to do so can generate
a runtime error. A common workaround is to use the PostEvent function
to post the event to an asynchronous event handler. You do not need
to post the SaveObject event, which is useful if you want to save
the data in the object to a file whenever the server application
saves the object.

Events for properties

If the server supports property notifications, then when values
for properties of the server change, the PropertyRequestEdit and
PropertyChanged events will occur. You can write scripts that cancel
changes, save old values, or read new values.
