General Questions Related to Programming

1. How can I print out the element names so that I may have an easier time of programming. In QA one could go to Design-Program-field names and print out that form and see the field names as they appear on the form.

2. In the program editor the ability of Sesame to apply various form elements events is great.  Am learning to understand each and when to apply. When I translated a QA file each (field) now element has an event attached to it.  How can I change it and how do I know that the change has taken place.  Example: I have an element named PRGCOST (program cost) which basically adds up several other elements. In the program editor it shows that the form element is "On Form Change".  How can I change it to "On Element Immediate Change". I have tried but am unsure what I am doing. Am I thinking correctly or not. Guidance requested.

You can print out the Program Module from Program Layout Editor. Pull down file menu has that choice. The file will be saved with .pgm extention. Open that with either wordpad or notepad. It has all the layout element name and programming.

Program Layout menu also has copy, paste, cut..etc. choice from edit pull down menu. Cut from one event and Paste in the other event. I hope this helps.

Let me be little more specific:

You can export all the programming  to text file (ctrl +s)from Program Layout Editor. Pull down file menu has that choice "Export all to text file". The file will be saved with .pgm extention. Open that with either wordpad or notepad. It has all the layout element name and programming.

Exact Sequence is-
sDesinger
Open existing application
Redesign Layout
From Command Menu - Program Layout
File Pull down Menu
Export all to text file
Saved as .pgm file
Open with Notepad or wordpad
