WR ON COMMAND


WR ON COMMAND ( area ; 4DRepMethod )

Parameter	Type	Description
area	Longint	4D Write area
4DRepMethod	String	Replacement method

Description

The WR ON COMMAND command executes the method passed as 4DRepMethod when a 4D Write command is invoked by the user,either by the selection of a menu command or by a click on a button. If area equals zero, 4DRepMethod will apply to each 4D Write area until the database is closed or until the following call to WR ON COMMAND is made: WR ON COMMAND(0;"").

4DRepMethod receives two parameters:

$1 is a Longint that represents area.
$2 is a Longint that designates the command number.

Note: The list of constants and their values is available in the “WR Tabs” constants theme. You can either pass a constant name or its value.

When planning to use a compiled database, it is necessary to declare both $1 and $2 as Longints, even if you do not use them.

If you want the initial command to be executed, you need to include the following in the called method: WR EXECUTE COMMAND($1;$2).

Example

You want to save your documents in the “Archive” folder located on your hard disk:

 C_LONGINT($1;$2)

 Case of

    :($2=wr cmd save as) `When Save As... is selected

       $DocName:=Request("Give a name to your document: ")

       If((OK=1) & ($DocName#""))

  `Save the document in the selected folder

          WR SAVE DOCUMENT($1;"HDisk:Archives:"+$DocName) `Mac

          WR SAVE DOCUMENT($1;"D:\Archives\"+$DocName)  `Win

       Else

          BEEP `Something is not correct

       End if

    Else `For any other menu command

       WR EXECUTE COMMAND($1;$2)

  `Execute the regular action

 End case

 

  ` Form Method:

 If(Form event=On Load)

    WR ON COMMAND(Area;"TheMethod")

 End if
