Detecting when the user changes from one record to another

xavigepe

Hi. Which event can I use to detect when the user has changed from one record (for example a contact record) to another. I need to make some validations then.

Thnx

The trigger OnAfterGetCurrRecord is called after Navision get new actual record... (you select one...)

Since the user can create just one new record and then close the form you will have to make the validations in the OnCloseForm too.

I have some questions - what you want to reach by this? Do you want check all changes after the user save the record? What you want to check?

May be that your answer will clear the situation and the solution will be easy... :-)

In fact. I only want to warn the user that certain fields must be filled (in case they are not filled). And I must do it only with some records (not all).
I'm using the OnNextRecord trigger but I have some problems because when I show a warning the form shows the next record instead of the record the warning refers to. It'a a little mesh.

The code is like:


OK := TRUE;

IF Type = Type::Person THEN
OK := ValidaDatosContacto; //This function returns False if some
compulsory fields are missing and shows
a warning

IF OK THEN
EXIT(NEXT(Steps));

I think that you can do it in OnModify of the table, check the values, and if there is problem, call Error with some info... (or you can add it into OnInsert too, but you must test it)

Yes I would go for OnModify in the table as well, so that it works no matter what object you use to change records.
