Customizing FORMS: Events

FORMS is designed to be a part of a complex environment, and its open interface makes it easy to integrate with a variety of other systems.

You can customize the program to suit your requirements, modifying its functionality and adding more features. There are various ways of doing this. You can add dialogs, ActiveX automation calls, ODBC access, file manipulation, and much more.

VBA and DLL programming is a complex task that requires knowledge of programming, Visual Basic, C, C++ or other programming language, and simple ActiveX automation issues.

Separate documentation is available.

Warning

FORMS customizations can be quite powerful. They can change values on forms and even cause FORMS to malfunction. We recommend you proceed with caution when implementing event handlers.
