How to know if the call to a form was an insert, update or delete?

[asigala]

Hi everybody.

Mi question is how to detect what was the globalrequest to a form . is there any way to know it ?

What i want to do is condition some fields inside the form, if the form was called to update, i want to set them to read only.

Thanks in advance

I think the easiest way is by checking the Change_btn value.

First check:

Code: [Select]

if ~p_web.IfExistsValue('Change_btn')
If the value doesn't exists then the form follows the default action (if you set it up).  This shouldn't happen unless you intend it to.
Then it's just a case statement:

Code: [Select]

case p_web.getvalue('Change_btn')
of 'Insert'
  code
of 'Delete'
  code
of 'Copy'
  code
of 'Update'
 code
end

There's an easier way.

the loc:act variable is primed for you in the form. So you can test this to see the current action.
= one of
net:InsertRecord
net:ChangeRecord
net:CopyRecord
net:DeleteRecord

Many Thanks Mattew, and Bruce.

I founded this in a topic......

I think this should work and is a complement to Bruce sugestion.

I put this in the generateform star embed.

    if p_web.GetSessionValue('UpdatePedido2_CurrentAction') = ChangeRecord THEN
        loc:Truper = 1 ! The variable to set the condition
    else
        loc:Truper = 0
    end
