linkState

Procedure that calls linkTargetHandler in the source and ensures that only an inactive state is republished if all its other data targets are inactive. As a result, an inactive linkState can reach the highest possible point in the class hierarchy. If the ToggleDataTargets property is set to FALSE this does not happen.

Location: data.p

Parameters:

INPUT pcState AS CHARACTER

The event is republished up the groupAssignSource and the DataSource which then runs linkstateHandler if the link can be deactivated.

Notes: This method is used to republish events when they are ignored as dataTargetEvents.
