The Script Editor, provides several
ways to view scripting events for objects in your form, depending
on the type of object or objects you select, and the quantity of
events you want to display.
Before you
begin, you must perform the following actions:
-
If the Script Editor is not displayed on the screen, select
Window > Script Editor.
-
If the Script Editor is not large enough to display more
than one line of script at a time, drag its lower line down to increase
its size.
To view a scripting event for a single object in the Script Editor
-
Select an object in your form.
-
In the Show list, select a valid scripting event.
To view a scripting event for a container object and its children in the Script Editor
-
If it is not already in multiline
mode, expand the Script Editor to display multiple lines of script
and ensure that the Show Events for Child Objects option is selected.
-
Select a container object, such as a subform.
-
In the Show list, select a valid scripting event.
The
events appear in the script editing field of the Script Editor,
separated by the reference syntax for each event. Note that certain
events only apply to specific types of objects. When you select
a script event, the script editing field of the Script Editor only
displays valid instances of the event. For example, if you select
a subform that contains a drop-down list and select the
preOpen
event,
the Script editor displays a single entry representing the drop-down
list. This is because the
preOpen
event only applies
to drop-down lists. Alternatively, selecting the
enter
event
displays two entries, one for the drop-down list and one for the
subform.
Note:
The Show list denotes events that
contain scripts using a trailing asterisk (*) after the name of
the event. If an event contains a script, when you select the event from
the Show list, the source appears in the script editing field of
the Script Editor.
To view all scripting events for a single object in the Script Editor
-
Select an object in your form.
-
In the Show list, select All Events.
The events appear
in the script editing field of the Script Editor, separated by the
reference syntax for each event.

mode, expand the Script Editor to display multiple lines of script
and ensure the Show Events for Child Objects option is selected.

-
In the Show list, select All Events.
The events appear
in the script editing field of the Script Editor, separated by the
reference syntax for each event.
