Called before the values of one or more Field objects are to be changed.
The WillChangeField event can be fired before any pending changes in the
values for one or more Field objects have been completed.
In contrast, the FieldChangeComplete event can be fired after the values for one or more
Field objects have been changed.
An event is simply a subroutine that can be called automatically after a specific operation has occurred.
This subroutine can contain any code that you need to run when the event occurs.
The subroutine will only be called if it is included in your code.
There are four parameters passed to this event.
EventStatusEnum Constants
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
adStatusCancel | 4 | Cancels the operation that fired the event |
adStatusCantDeny | 3 | Cannot cancel pending operation |
adStatusErrorsOccurred | 2 | Indicates that warnings and/or errors occurred |
adStatusOK | 1 | The operation that fired the event was successful |
adStatusUnwantedEvent | 5 | The operation that generated the event cannot generate future events |
