System States for Events

Events are only defined for a certain state of the DataView user interface. This is selected in the Status field.

System State Explanation
ALL All system states
WDG Widget state - One mask is open and active, no records are selected (identical to NoSelect state in lists and Widget state in forms)
SEL Element-Selection state - One list is open and active, one or several records are selected (identical with Select state in lists).
MAS Mask-Edit state - One mask is open and active, the search line or the edit line is displayed and the write cursor is in one of the fields.

If you create events for the three mask states, the keyboard functions will be available in all open masks. You can protect individual masks from the execution of functions with wide-ranging consequences. Detailed information on that topic can be found in -> Lock Search Event for Individual Masks or in the corresponding sections of the other standard functions in masks.
