Process event and continue

Command group Flag affected Reversible Execute on client Platform(s)
Events NO NO NO All

Syntax

Process event and continue ([Discard event])

Options

Discard event If specified, Omnis discards the active event (meaning that no further processing will occur for that event)

Description

This command causes the current event to be processed immediately allowing the event handler method containing the command to continue to execute. Normally, the default processing for an event takes place when all the event handler methods dealing with the event have finished executing. It is not possible to have active unprocessed events when waiting for user input so the default processing is carried out for any active events after an Enter data command has been executed or at a debugger break. Therefore if required, you can use this command to override the default behavior and force events to be processed allowing the event handler method to continue.

The Discard event option lets you discard the active event.

Example

# This code would cause the OK event to be thrown away before the Enter Data starts
On evOK
  Process event and continue (Discard event)
  Open window instance wMyWindow
  Enter data
