Introduction

1. On-Activation Trigger in Forms

8�May�2003�Archive Link: "[IRC] 08 May 2003"

Summary By Arturas Kriukovas

Topics: Forms

People: Jason Cater,�James Thompson,�ra3vat,�Dmitry Sorokin

Dmitry Sorokin (ra3vat) asked Jason Cater (jcater) how on-activation trigger differs from on-startup. Jason offered asking James Thompson (jamest) for specifications. He thought that on-startup runned when form was loaded; and "on-activation is fired once each time a form (dialog) is called" , on activation runs each time a form is displayed - it is convenient "to clear the fields from the last time it was called" .

It was noted that Jan Ischebeck (siesel) had committed some code to CVS in gnue/common/src/datasources/drivers/ldap. Perry went "off to code some gnue forms for ldap :)" He asked "how up to date is the version of gnue in sid?" Andrew Mitchell (ajmitch), refering to the IRC topic, said that the "old one in sid, new one on" Jeff Bailey's (jbailey) section of the http://people.debian.org website. Perry said he would report back once he had got LDAP working.
