Re: Firing One Active Link on Multiple Controls

[Brien Dieterle]

** This should help: Command: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK Executes all active links associated with the specified Execute On condition (and field ID, as appropriate). The active links fire as if the Execute On condition indicated occurred. For example, PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 8 specifies to run all On Modify active links as if a modify operation was performed. The active links fire, but no modify is actually performed. The options for this command are as follows: Button: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 1 < field_ID> Return/Table Dbl-Clk: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 2 < field_ID> Submit: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 4 Modify: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 8 Display: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 16 Menu Choice: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 128 < field_ID> Lose Focus: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 256 < field_ID> Set Default: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 512 Search: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 1024 After Modify: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 2048 After Submit: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 4096 Gain Focus: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 8192 < field_ID> Window Open: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 16384 Un-Display: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 65536 Window Close: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 32768 Copy To New: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 131072 Window Loaded: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 262144 Interval: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 524288 < interval> Event: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 1048576 Table Refresh: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 2097152 < field_ID> Hover On Label: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 4194304 < field_ID> Hover On Data: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 8388608 < field_ID> Hover On Field: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 16777216 < field_ID> Expand: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 33554432 < field_ID> Collapse: PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 67108864 < field_ID> Brien On 12/22/2011 2:32 PM, Gmail wrote: ** I have one form that captures user inputs and I am trying to provide some sort of a help mechanism right next to each field. I created 10 different controls on the same form. One right next to each field. The idea is when a user clicks on the help button right next to any field, there should be a tooltip that displays a description about the field and what’s expected as a valid entry. I created one active link that does a set field  based on a keyword and returns the field ID, then another set field that does a lookup on the AR System Message Catalog and return a specific message based on the field ID. After that a message action displays the message into a tooltip. Everything works fine, except that I am not really sure how to attach the same active link to all the controls that I created. I need to reuse this active line instead of creating one single active link per help control.  I was just wondering if is there any way to attach one active link multiple controls. Any ideas or thoughts would be highly appreciated.   Attached a screenshot for my form   Thanks In Advance.
