Occurs when a user views or edits the property pages of a document or folder.
Syntax
DocGenericEvent_OnProperties(Command, Abort)
Remarks
This event occurs in the Meridian client applications when Command includes the constants indicated in the following table.
| Constant | Action | Meridian PowerWeb | PowerUser |
|---|---|---|---|
|
AS_PS_CMD_VIEW |
The user started viewing the property page. |
|
|
|
AS_PS_CMD_EDIT |
The user clicked Edit to start property page (wizard) editing. |
|
|
|
AS_PS_CMD_APPLY1 |
The user clicked Next to apply changes to the current page. |
|
|
|
AS_PS_CMD_FINISH |
The user clicked Finish to apply changes to the last page and stop property page (wizard) editing. |
|
|
|
AS_PS_CMD_CANCEL |
The user clicked Cancel to discard changes and stop property page (wizard) editing. |
|
|
- This constant is represented in PowerUser only when the Finish button is clicked at the end of a wizard. In Meridian PowerWeb, it is included every time the Next button is clicked for a wizard page. Property values may not be set in Meridian PowerWeb if this constant is represented.
- This event does not occur in Meridian PowerWeb when creating folders.
Use this event with much caution. In PowerUser, when Command includes AS_PS_CMD_VIEW, setting Abort to True will prevent display of all property pages. Attempting to set property values at that time can cause errors such as "The object is currently being edited by another session" and lost data.
We recommend that you not execute other actions, make modifications to the document content, invoke anything that takes a relatively long time, or invoke any user interface functions during this event. Such actions can have unexpected or unpredictable results.
