DragBehavior, EnterFieldBehavior Properties Example

The following example uses the DragBehavior and EnterFieldBehavior properties to demonstrate the different effects that you can provide when entering a control and when dragging information from one control to another.

The sample uses two TextBox controls. You can set DragBehavior and EnterFieldBehavior for each control and see the effects of dragging from one control to another.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:

• A TextBox named TextBox1.
• Two ToggleButton controls named ToggleButton1 and ToggleButton2. These controls are associated with TextBox1.
• A TextBox named TextBox2.
• Two ToggleButton controls named ToggleButton3 and ToggleButton4. These controls are associated with TextBox2.

Dim TextBox1, TextBox2
Dim ToggleButton1, ToggleButton2, ToggleButton3, ToggleButton4

Sub Item_Open()
     set TextBox1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("TextBox1")
     set TextBox2 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("TextBox2")
     set ToggleButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("ToggleButton1")
     set ToggleButton2 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("ToggleButton2")
     set ToggleButton3 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("ToggleButton3")
     set ToggleButton4 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("ToggleButton4")

    TextBox1.Text = "Once upon a time in a land ...,"
    ToggleButton1.Value = True
    ToggleButton1.Caption = "Drag Enabled"
    ToggleButton1.WordWrap = True
    TextBox1.DragBehavior = 1 'fmDragBehaviorEnabled

    ToggleButton2.Value = True
    ToggleButton2.Caption = "Recall Selection"
    ToggleButton2.WordWrap = True
    TextBox1.EnterFieldBehavior = 1 'fmEnterFieldBehaviorRecallSelection
    
    TextBox2.Text = "XXX, YYYY"
    ToggleButton3.Value = False
    ToggleButton3.Caption = "Drag Disabled"
    ToggleButton3.WordWrap = True
    TextBox2.DragBehavior = 0 'fmDragBehaviorDisabled
    
    ToggleButton4.Value = False
    ToggleButton4.Caption = "Select All"
    ToggleButton4.WordWrap = True
    TextBox2.EnterFieldBehavior = 0 'fmEnterFieldBehaviorSelectAll
End Sub

Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
    If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
       ToggleButton1.Caption = "Drag Enabled"
       TextBox1.DragBehavior = 1 'fmDragBehaviorEnabled
    Else
       ToggleButton1.Caption = "Drag Disabled"
       TextBox1.DragBehavior = 0 'fmDragBehaviorDisabled
    End If
End Sub

Sub ToggleButton2_Click()
    If ToggleButton2.Value = True Then
        ToggleButton2.Caption = "Recall Selection"
        TextBox1.EnterFieldBehavior = 1 'fmEnterFieldBehaviorRecallSelection
    Else
        ToggleButton2.Caption = "Select All"
        TextBox1.EnterFieldBehavior = 0 'fmEnterFieldBehaviorSelectAll
    End If
End Sub

Sub ToggleButton3_Click()
    If ToggleButton3.Value = True Then
       ToggleButton3.Caption = "Drag Enabled"
       TextBox2.DragBehavior = 1 'fmDragBehaviorEnabled
    Else
       ToggleButton3.Caption = "Drag Disabled"
       TextBox2.DragBehavior = 0 'fmDragBehaviorDisabled
    End If
End Sub

Sub ToggleButton4_Click()
    If ToggleButton4.Value = True Then
        ToggleButton4.Caption = "Recall Selection"
        TextBox2.EnterFieldBehavior = 1 'fmEnterFieldBehaviorRecallSelection
    Else
       ToggleButton4.Caption = "Select All"
       TextBox2.EnterFieldBehavior = 0 'fmEnterFieldBehaviorSelectAll
    End If
