How a Promoted Event Fits in the Event Chain

OpenInsight processes promoted events in the following order:

1. APPNAME*EVENTTYPE*FORMNAME.CONTROLNAME
2. APPNAME*EVENTTYPE*FORMNAME.
3. APPNAME*EVENTTYPE.CONTROLTYPE.OIWIN*
4. SYSPROG*EVENTTYPE.CONTROLTYPE.OIWIN*
5. APPNAME*EVENTTYPE..OIWIN*
6. SYSPROG*EVENTTYPE..OIWIN*
7. SYSPROG*..OIWIN*

Promoted events created in SYSPROG will apply to all applications. Also, if your application inherits from another application, then the inherited events will also apply.

Note: You can terminate the event chain at any point by returning a 0 from your code.

When you save a form, the Form Designer checks for promoted events and includes them in the compiled form. This is done to improve performance at runtime.

Note: You will need to re-compile all your forms the first time you add a promoted event or if you remove a promoted event.
