Description
When set to Quit or
Accept , the specified trigger is fired if either of the following occurs:
- The popup form's anchor field loses input focus.
- The popup form is in a cascading chain of
popup forms and it loses focus to a popup form higher in the chain. In this case all popup forms
below the form with focus are closed.
The popup form does not close if it activates a child popup form, which then gets focus.
Popup forms are often used in situations where you want to display or gather a limited amount of data (for example, in a ribbon bar or super tooltip).
Setting
AutoClose=Accept makes it possible to use multi-line widgets in
which the Enter key is used to insert a new line.
Popup forms can also be used to create a type of popup menu, in which one popup form can activate another. In this case, the parent does not close when the child popup form gets focus. However when a popup form that is higher in the chain gets focus, all popup windows below the form with focus are closed.
If you set Auto Close to
False, ensure that user can close the form in some way, for example, using a command
button or programming the loseFocus trigger.
Setting in ProcScript
The following code displays a popup form with a title bar and close button.
