OK, so it looks like there's some strange bug I ran into. For some reason most
of the events for my forms got disabled at the form level. So, even though
they were checked off at the element level the form was not registered for
those events anymore. I am going to have to go through all the UI elements and
look though their event handling code to make sure all the correct events are
registered at the form level.
Has anyone heard of this before? If anyone knows of a way to best determine
the previous state of the form event configuration any thoughts would be
appreciated.
Thanks,

Subject: Forms Stop Receiving Certain Events
Has this ever happened to anyone? UI Elements on certain forms appear to have
stopped receiving certain events. This form and related code that have been
functioning for many many years. I was adding an additional page to the form
when this started happening. I did not edit or change the code or properties
on any of the other pages/ui elements. Any help in tracking down the cause
would be helpful and greatly appreciated. I do have backups but I don't want
to roll back the database because it is an active database where data is added
every day. I am under the impression that you cannot roll back the interface
programming separately from the actual data. An example is below.
Platform: MacOSX (10.11.6)
4D Version: v15 R5
Here's an example…
A Popup button, has 'On Load', 'On Clicked' and 'On Unload' enabled in the
property list (i.e. checked off').
The object method for the popup has a case statement for reacting to these
events. (The rest of the code is removed for brevity)
$TheEvent:=Form event
Case of
: ($TheEvent=On Load)
ALERT("Load")
: ($TheEvent=On Clicked)
ALERT("Clicked")
: ($TheEvent=On Unload)
ALERT("Unload")
End case
The only alert that is displayed is the unload alert.
How can I figure out where this the events are being lost/swallowed.
Thanks in advance,
