Types of layout scripts

The Script tab shows the scripts that have been configured for the layout:

• Built-in scripts. There are three built-in scripts that are automatically added to all layouts. These are listed in the Script tab and are always shown, whether or not they have been configured. The three built-in scripts are:

  • On Show

  • While Showing

  • On Hide

• Named scripts. You can add and configure an unlimited number of named scripts. These are expression-based scripts that can use any of the following triggers:

  • On True

  • On False

  • While True

  • While False

  • Data Change (this can also include a change in data quality)

• Event-handler scripts. These can be added and configured for apps and controls in the layout that contain public events. There are numerous types of events that can be scripted, and the events will be different between apps. Some examples of the types of events that can be scripted include:

  • Got Focus

  • Mouse Move

  • Mouse Double Click

  • Drag Over

  • Drop

  • Key Up

  • Context Menu Opening
