Automatically close form without saving changes

Rees Howel

Syteline/CSI v9.01.01 On Premise

Unposted Job Transactions

I have modified the form to prevent users from entering transactions if Materials on the Operation have not been issued first.  The form generates an additional event at the end of the JobChg event and if materials have not been issued, the user gets a warning message and the form is closed.  I used a Prompt dialogue to call StdFormClose if materials have not been issued.

This works, but when StdFormClose is triggered, a "Do you want to save your changes to Unposted Job Transactions?" message is also generated. Some bright spark is bound to click Yes which is undesirable.

I suspect there's a standard event to call which will discard changes before invoking StdFormClose, but can't think what it is.

Can anyone enlighten me please?

Thanks in advance

I'm in a similar situation, I've found a partial solution but not sure how to tie it together.

The Event we need is StdFormExitCancel. This tell the form to close down & discard all your changes. However, I haven't figured out a way to tie it to the "Close" button. If I use a regular button & test it, it works perfectly. All changes discarded & form goes away.

In my case, if I absolutely had to go with a custom button I could as this is a fully custom form. In your case, I'm not sure what you'd do.

I'm going to keep at it and see if I can figure out where I can insert a call to the StdFormExitCancel event. If I do, I'll definitely post it here.
