EditMode Run-Time Property (ASP)

Applies to

Record Form, EditableGrid Form

Type

Boolean

Access

read-only

Syntax

object.EditMode

Description

This property determines whether given record form is currently in edit or insert mode. In edit mode all data source parameters need to have values assigned (including row identifier). In insert mode some data items may be empty.

Example

The following code (placed in the OnValidate event procedure ) checks the state of the modified_by form field and generates an error message if the field is empty. Thanks to the EditMode property, custom verification takes place only if the record is updated (not inserted).

Function articles_OnValidate() 

  If articles.EditMode and IsEmpty(articles.modified_by.Value) Then
     articles.Errors.AddError("The modified_by field cannot be empty when updating.")
  End if

End Function
