Guide Section: Processing Events and Performing Actions | EASAP Tree: EVENT PROCESSING → ACTION
SET VALUE ACTION sets the value of user interface data entry objects such as,
The optional Value: parameter should be set to the desired value of the user interface object and it must correspond to the syntax of the target object’s Default: parameter. For instance, if a REALBOX is referenced, the value could be ‘10, m’. Leaving the Value: parameter unset will cause the action to clear the target object’s value, providing the target object allows no value.
The Fire Value Changed: parameter of SET VALUE ACTION can be used to force the EASAP to update all object data values after SET VALUE ACTION has been executed. The rules of use for the Fire Value Changed: parameter are as follows:
This parameter should be used with caution as it introduces the potential for loops.
These above use creates the most efficient EASAP user interface. (ie. Setting each Fire Value Changed:→TRUE may needlessly slow the interface)
