Has anyone worked out an easy way to determine which controls have a quick event associated with them?

For example: we would like to indicate to the user if the control they are on has an option quick event associated with it.

Is there a way short of reading through the window source code?

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,

Events=Get_Property(CtrlEntId, "ORIG_STRUCT")

Returns an @SVM delimited list of events associated with the control.

Do you habve to do this 'on the fly' or, can you get by with putting a visual clue into your window design to indicate that a control will have option event. ie., put a border around the control which will have option and don't put a borderaround the control if ther is no option

just a thought

Jeff,

In my applications I have standardized to displaying every control that has options in a light beige. I do this with a global Gotfocus event. The first time any control gets focus in a window (which is when the window is created usually), the global Gotfocus "hunts down" (through the window definition as well as using Repository( "GETSUB" , …) ) all Quick and Script Options events. Then for each control with Options that initially has a white background, it will turn the background to light beige.

I found this solution to be very simple, elegant and self-adjusting. I don't have to worry about the color of the field at design time if the field has Options; just leave the background white and the global Gotfocus will change its color automatically when the window is executed.

So as you can see, I still needed to go to the window definition to "hunt down" the option fields, but only for one global script.

Hope this gives you some ideas
