Can I create dialogs and forms that use callbacks?
Response:
Formativ 2.0 and later: The Visual Forms Designer makes it easy to design event driven, interactive forms and use them in your Applets. You may link Formativ code easily to events exposed by forms and form components. This makes it possible to perform certain actions dynamically in response to events that occur on a form. For example, you can associate code with a button click event which adds an item dynamically to a list box control located on the same form.
Formativ 1.6 and earlier: Not using the dialog creation capabilities exposed by the Utilities object. The forms and dialogs which you create using the Utilities object are 'serial' in nature and cannot contain logic within themselves. However, it is possible to simulate some level of dynamic form behavior. For examples, see the applets which ship with the product.
If you need to use a highly customized form or dialog in your applet, which cannot be implemented using the Utilities object, you can use a RAD language such as Visual Basic or Delphi to create an Automation Server which implements the desired behavior.
