hi,
you can always use form datasource active method for this logic and if you want to use this logic based on some specific condition then you can write your logic at the end of this method, means after all system's logic write your logic.
Active method is used by other condition on the form.
What do you mean by already used?
If the button's enable/disable property is tied to a different condition, you need to review the code and combine the conditions.
Hi Nara Sheshu,
where is this enum stored? Is it in the table that is shown on the form? If yes, then indeed the active method of the form data source is the correct place for triggering your code.
What do you mean by "activate method was already used on the form"?
Quite often there's a method called "updateDesign" on the form, and this method is called from the active method of the form data source. I recommend to do this - then the code is easy to read and maintain, and you don't clutter the active method with a lot of code.
