| **GetActionAllowed** | Checks for a valid FormVCR action. |

The **GetActionAllowed **method is a virtual method used to validate a FormVCR action.

**Implementation:**

The GetActionAllowed method is called by the TakeEvent method and is used to synchronize toolbar buttons with the appropriate FormVCR action..

**Example:**

**  CASE ACCEPTED()**

**  OF SELF.VCRRequest**

**   IF SELF.****GetActionAllowed****(EVENT:Accepted,SELF.Window.Request) THEN**

**    CHANGE(SELF.VCRRequest,SELF.Window.Request)**

**    SELF.Window.OriginalRequest = SELF.Window.Request**

**    SELF.TakeRequestChanged(SELF.VCRPrevRequest,SELF.Window.Request)**

**    SELF.VCRPrevRequest = SELF.Window.Request**

**   ELSE**

**    IF SELF.NoRecords THEN**

**     SELF.NoRecords = RECORDS(SELF.View)**

**     IF NOT SELF.****GetActionAllowed****(EVENT:Accepted,SELF.Window.Request) THEN**

**      SELF.Window.Request = SELF.VCRPrevRequest**

**      CHANGE(SELF.VCRRequest,SELF.Window.Request)**

**      SELF.UpdateWindow**

**     ELSE**

**      CHANGE(SELF.VCRRequest,SELF.Window.Request)**

**      SELF.Window.OriginalRequest = SELF.Window.Request**

**      SELF.TakeRequestChanged(SELF.VCRPrevRequest,SELF.Window.Request)**

**      SELF.VCRPrevRequest = SELF.Window.Request**
