DCGET ... VALID with DC_ReadGuiEvent(DCGUI_EXIT_ABORT)

[Tom]

If GETs have VALID-Codeblocks, they are not evaluated if <ESC> is pressed or the dialog is closed using the 'X'-button of the window. Unfortunately, nearly all my dialogs have buttons created with the BUTTONS-clause of DCGET OPTIONS, one "OK"-button and one "ABORT"-button. The "ABORT"-button simply fires "DC_ReadGuiEvent(DCGUI_EXIT_ABORT,GetList)" (in most of the cases). This leads to an evaluation of the "VALID"-codeblock, if a GET has focus in this situation. I know the reason for this - the GET loses focus, and the buttons are normal buttons at least, so evaluating "VALID" is correct.

Any ideas (besides changing all VALID-codeblocks)?

Hi Tom,

I'm a bit confused. You have to add CARGO 'CANCEL' to your cancel buttons. But I'm so surprised you don't know this, that I'm wondering if I did understood your question well.

Hi, Chris.

You have to add CARGO 'CANCEL' to your cancel buttons.

Right. This is it! Thanks!

But I'm so surprised you don't know this, that I'm wondering if I did understood your question well.

Seems like I simply missed this. Ask me anything about eXpress++. Anything else.

I think that it would be a good idea to add that as a default.
