Adding Functionality to a Control

You use the Update Editor feature to add functionality to a control. (You add the control to the form by dragging and dropping the control from the Toolbox to the form.)

  1. From the View menu, select View Update Editor.
  2. Select the control on the form.
  3. To add functionality to a base control type, select the control on the form and then right click in the top half of the update editor

To add functionality to a base control type, select the control on the form and then right click in the top half of the update editor for this control. This will then present the available options for this control. This will normally be an Event that you wish the control to take Action on. For example on a button you will normally add a GUI Event handler for a left button click. After adding an Event if you select this Event in the update editor and right click again then the designer will then show available options, this would normally be either and Action or a Logic block to evaluate some conditional expression before performing an Action.
