Handling Report Events

One of the methods for expanding reports functionality is handling events occurred when the user works with a report.

An event handler enables the user to execute a specified operation each time the event occurs. For example, on connecting an event handling unit, the following options become available:

Process entered data on-the-fly.
Show confirmation dialog box for executed operation.
Execute additional operation before and after an event occurs.
Show information messages that contain particular information (such as identifier of the changed control, hyperlink type).

Regular reports enable the user to set up handling of the events that occur:

Before opening regular report.
Before and after changing the regular report active sheet.
Before and after calculating a data area (or relational data area), entire regular report or specific report sheet.
Before and after printing and exporting regular report.
Before and after saving changed values of data areas.
On changing value of regular report control.
Before saving regular report, and so on.

Main purpose of connection of application macros and event handlers:

Creating hyperlink triggers. If executing macros contained in the connected objects is required as their operations.
Creating formulas.
Event handling. To handle events, describe a class inherited by the ReportEvents class, and redetermine methods that implement the required events.

Signature of the specified macro can contain parameters.
