A mask in DataView can have different states.
No record is selected. In lists you can execute NoSelect functions. These are items in the -> NoSelect menu, -> NoSelect buttons or -> Events valid for all masks in NoSelect state (WDG).
At least one record is selected. In lists you can execute Select functions. These are items in the -> Select menu, -> Select buttons or -> Events valid for all masks in Select state (SEL).
In forms a record displayed is considered to be selected at the same time. For this reason in forms NoSelect and Select state are not differentiated between. There is only Widget state. You can execute NoSelect and Select functions. These are items in the -> Form menu, -> Form buttons or -> Events valid for all masks in NoSelect and Select state (WDG, SEL).
This state is set if you search for data in the mask or edit data in the mask, thus executing -> Edit functions. These are items in the -> Edit menu, -> Edit buttons or -> Events valid for all masks in Mask-Edit state (MAS). The Mask-Edit state has different modes:
Note! The view mode is useful if users want to look at forms that have a virtual width without write privileges. They can open the edit window at these fields and see the complete field entry.
