Task macro

The Task macro lists some of the possibilites for the task Id as passed to the Task method on a FormRun object. The task method is called whenever certain actions take place on a form. These are generally related to keypresses, or record operations.

You can override the task() method on a form (element level) or for a global hook, add code to the existing override on the SysSetupFormRun class.

<xpp> public int task(int _taskId) {

   int ret;

   // Add your code here

   ret = super(_taskId);

   return ret;

} </xpp>

The macro values listed are as follow:
