Upcoming Xojo Events: Get Inspired by the Success Stories and Tips from Xojo Users



As mentioned earlier, the user can also indirectly cause events to occur. Buttons, for example, have an event called Pressed which occurs when the user presses the button. The code that handles the response to an event is called (appropriately enough) an event handler. Suppose the button's Pressed event handler has code that opens another window (for a desktop app). When the user clicks the button, the Pressed event handler opens a window and an Opening event is sent to the new window. This is not an event the user caused directly. The user caused this event indirectly by clicking the button whose code opened the new window.To add an event handler for a control, click on the control and then select the "+" button on the command bar and choose "Add Event Handler". This displays the Event Handler window for the control.


There are many events that can occur for each object in your app. The good news is that you don 't have to learn about all of them. You only need to know where to look for them so that, if you want to respond to an event, you can find out if the object is able to respond to that event.

The User Interface section covers all the UI components that can be used by desktop, web and mobile apps. In each section you learn about the commonly used events that are available for the controls. You can also learn about all the event handlers by referring to the specific component or control in the Documentation.


This works but it relies on you defining and implementing everything properly. If you forget to call Super.Save then your overridden method won't actually save! But if you do this with events, then there is no room for error. With events, you create two event definitions on the super class: PreSave and PostSave. In the Save method on the super class, you then call PreSave at the beginning and PostSave at the end. When you create a subclass, you will see that it has two Event Handlers you can add to it: PreSave and PostSave. Add those event handlers and implement them as needed. Since you are not overridden the Save method, your code circumvents the possible issue shown above.


3Using the Calendar View is very easy and intuive. Dragging the mouse in Month, Week and Day views will create a new event. Clicking and dragging an element enables moving it from one day to another, or resizing events to make them longer or shorter. A double-click on a day scales the display from Year view down to Day view.


The CalendarView supports both ICS and Database loading and storage systems. Both systems are suitable for less than 1000 events. Above that figure, it is recommended to use a database and only load the necessary data.


Because Xojo uses an event-driven model, the controls are already all hooked up to receive events. You can simply add the events you need and populate them with the necessary code, which is what you'll do now.


The above code is similar to the code in ValueChanged, so you could extract the code into a common method that is called by both events if you wish.The last code to add is for the button, which is used to calculate the tip amounts and display them. Select the button in the layout and double-click it to display the Add Event Handler window and add its Action event. Use this code to calculate the tip amounts (using the TipCalculator class you created at the beginning) and display the results:


To resolve the issue where Xojo doesn't know about events that occur when users interact with the injected code, the CodeInjector module includes support for a special, and relatively simple, API. The API is implemented directly in the Xojo Web app.

Systematic control of performance in SFM paradigms also make them suitable for the exploration of the neural correlates of metacognition. For example, the tasks may be particularly suited for functional neuroimaging studies which typically involve blocks of contrasting events (e.g. success and failure phase of the tasks), with a discrete beginning and end (such as the trials of the tasks). Likewise, electrophysiology studies about error monitoring can also benefit from the systematic and structured presentation of failure trials in the developed tasks. 2ff7e9595c
