Example
In the following example from the Structural Editing developer sample form, the Operation property of the DataDOMEvent object is used to check the type of action that is occurring; if it is a delete action, the code calls a custom function:
function msoxd__item::OnAfterChange(eventObj)
{
if (!eventObj.IsUndoRedo && eventObj.Operation == "Delete"
&& eventObj.Site.nodeName == "item" &&
eventObj.Source.nodeName == "item")
{
Calculate();
}
}
