Missing Button for Event Propagation in Script Editor

[radzmar]

Hi,

is anybody else missing the button to enable the event propagation in the script editor?

I know it has been there once, but seems to be disappeared since I installed the SP2 (9.0.0.2.20101008.2.720808) for Designer.

It might have to do with the target version of the form ....event propogation is only support with target version 9 and above.

Hi,

the target version is set 9.1 or higher.

Other suggestions?

It will only become active when you click on a subform that has child nodes. So if you add a script that changes the bordercolor on the enter event of a subform, then that checkbox becomes active and allows you to propogate the command to all objects contained within the subform.

Note that it has been removed for SP2 because it was causing too much confusion for users. The advanced users that use that facility are expected to make the changes in the xml source that the button provided.

Aha, it has been removed.

Even more confusing, don't you think?!

Wasn't mentioned in the release notes, right?

Thats not my call (whether to remove it or not). I will open a bug that there is nothing in the release notes about this.

Thanks for this post!

I know this is an old post, but it really helped me out. I was trying to get a propogated event whenever exiting a field to work and was finally able to do it by editing the xml. The change I had to make was the following.

  ORIGINAL LINE OF CODE

<

event activity="exit" name="event__exit

">

NEW LINE OF CODE

<

event activity="exit" listen="refAndDescendents" name="event__exit

">
