Verify Event Registrations

The Validate Event Registrations function performs a diagnostic test of selected form files (.PLF).

Upon selection of the function, the following dialog appears:

The upper portion of the dialog will contain a list of files to be examined. The lower portion will display any issues encountered and other informative messages.

Selected Forms

The list in the upper section of the dialog show the selected files. Double-clicking a form name will open the form in the Designer's main program.

Add

The Add button opens a common dialog that allows file selections. All files selected are added to the Selected Forms section of the dialog.

Remove

The Remove button deletes files from the Selected Forms list. Only the checked items are removed.

Verify

The Verify button begins the checking process described below. Only the checked items are verified.

Help

The Help button displays this page in a new window.

Exit

The Exit button closes the dialog.

 

The verification process iterates through the source code of the form searching for event labels. These labels are in the form <event>_<object>. Upon finding a valid event label, the object is checked to insure the event label is registered to the event. If it is not registered, a message is displayed in the lower portion of the screen. The total number of issues are shown on the form's line in the upper section.

 

Note that this is a simple check and if an issue is reported it does not mean there is an error. The event routine may have been intentionally unregistered by the programmer and the code left in the code section. An event routine may also be registered to another object or event. Neither of these occurences are considered errors.
