The Connection wizard enables you to establish a connection between two components triggered by an event within a form without having to write code manually.
You can launch the Connection wizard by clicking the Connection Mode button (
)
in the GUI Builder toolbar and selecting a component that will generate the event and then a component that will receive it in the GUI Builder or
Navigator window.
In the Specify Target Operation page of the Connection wizard, you can set the following:
- Target Component. The target component of the triggering event is automatically set for you after it is selected in the GUI Builder or Navigator window.
- Select an appropriate radio button to specify the operation to be performed on the target component:
- Set Property. Select a property of the target component to be modified in the following step of the wizard.
- Method Call. Select a method of the target component to be triggered.
- If you choose a method call with no parameters, the Finish button of the wizard becomes available.
- User Code. Select to enter event handler code directly yourself.
Click Next to specify the parameters for a target property
or method or click Finish to complete the wizard.
