As an aid to understanding the EIPManagerClass, it is useful to organize its methods into two large categories according to their expected use–the primary interface and the virtual methods. This organization reflects what we believe is typical use of the EIPManagerClass methods.
Non-Virtual Methods
The Non-Virtual Methods, which you are likely to call fairly routinely from your program, can be further divided into three categories:
Housekeeping (one-time) Use:
| Run | run this procedure | |
| InitD | initialize the EditClass object | |
| InitControls | initialize edit-in-place controls | |
| KillD | shut down the EditClass object |
Mainstream Use:
| TakeEvent (d) | handle events for the edit control | |
| TakeNewSelection (d) | handle Event:NewSelection |
Occasional Use:
| AddControl | register edit-in-place controls | |
| ClearColumn (v) | reset column property values | |
| CreateContol (v) | a virtual to create the edit control | |
| GetEdit (v) | identify edit-in-place field | |
| Next | get the next edit-in-place field | |
| ResetColumn (v) | reset edit-in-place object to selected field | |
| SetAlerts (v) | alert appropriate keystrokes for the edit control | |
| TakeAction (v) | process end user actions | |
| TakeCompleted (v) | process completion of edit | |
| TakeFocusLoss (v) | process loss of focus | |
| TakeFieldEvent (d) | handle field specific events |
(d) These methods are also derived.
(v) These methods are also virtual.
Virtual and Derived Methods
Typically you will not call these methods directly–the Non-Virtual Methods call them. However, we anticipate you will often want to override these methods, and because they are either derived or virtual, they are very easy to override. These methods do provide reasonable default behavior in case you do not want to override them.
| InitD | initialize the EditClass object | |
| Kill (d) | shut down the EditClass object | |
| TakeEvent (d) | handle events for the edit control | |
| TakeNewSelection (d) | handle Event:NewSelection | |
| ClearColumn (v) | reset column property values | |
| CreateContol (v) | a virtual to create the edit control | |
| GetEdit (v) | identify edit-in-place field | |
| ResetColumn (v) | reset edit-in-place object to selected field | |
| SetAlerts (v) | alert appropriate keystrokes for the edit control | |
| TakeAction (v) | process end user actions | |
| TakeCompleted (v) | process completion of edit | |
| TakeFocusLoss (v) | process loss of focus | |
| TakeFieldEvent (d) | handle field specific events |
