cancelRecord

Procedure that cancels an Update, Add, or Copy operation.

Location: viewer.p

Parameters: None

Notes:

When you choose the Cancel button during:
Add or Copy — The new record is erased and the previously current record is redisplayed.
Update — The Update is cancelled and the record’s original values are redisplayed.
cancelRecord is invoked when an update is cancelled, usually by choosing the Cancel button in an Update SmartPanel or the Cancel button or Cancel menu item in a SmartToolbar.
cancelRecord republishes the “cancelRecord” event to handle the cancel for GroupAssign targets.
cancelRecord can be customized when additional processing is needed when a record Add, Copy, or Update is canceled. You might want to do this to restore other related nondatabase fields or other objects to their original values, or to undo some action that was taken when the Add, Copy, or Update was initiated.
